changed much over the centuries.

By the way, nice job recently on your presentation at the National Bible Museum, where you launched the "America Prays" initiative to celebrate spirituality and restore "our identity as one nation under God." And congratulations on your missionary work. I see that you raked in $1.3 million on your "God Bless the USA Bible."

Love that you said: "To have a great nation, you have to have religion. I believe that so strongly. There has to be something after we go through all of this - and that something is God."

Well put, Mr. President, and unsurprising, given that you once called the Bible your favorite book. But I know that in my own life, I need to flip through the pages to ground myself in the teachings.

So here's an idea:

I'll share a Bible verse, and then I'll follow it with a recent quote from you. Not that I'm judging, or anything. But we might all benefit spiritually by asking whether, in our own lives, God would approve of how we conduct ourselves.

Are you ready?

1 Corinthians 13: "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude."

Trump: "You know, Biden was always a mean guy, but he was never a smart guy. ... You go back 30 years ago, 40 years ago, he was a stupid guy, but he was always a mean son of a bitch."
