I believe white people who pass as one of "them" should now enter as many racist churches as possible and get anti-Trump messaging on video to facilitate this. Should be easy since everything Trump ever does conflicts with their holy book.

He’ll just “sell” tax exempt status for 50% of what can be saved when exempt.

Ok guys, how do we convince him that ALL churches are constantly badmouthing him?

New achievement just dropped: catfish as an associate pastor of prosperity churches and just fucking roast Trump until tax exemptions are removed.

I know it’s an empty threat, because #TACO.

But damn I wish somehow he does revoke the church tax exemption, it is massively bullshit considering their outside political influence. Not to mention the absurd wealth of the grifting megachurch pastors. Tax those fuckers!

I 100% agree with him. But he also needs to amend that to include churches that speak IN SUPPORT of him too.

What a fucking loser. Imagine being handed as much as he has, and still being so petulant and thin-skinned... A normal person would have at least an once of introspection and think that not being horrible would make people talk better about you...
