Jonah Goldberg’s take on Trump’s alleged Christian martyrdom before the IRS

Bookworm Room   "One of my favorite things to read every Friday is The Goldberg File. . .  In today’s, he addresses Donald Trump’s claim that the IRS has been auditing him every year because he is a Christian martyr.  I can’t wait until tomorrow; you have to read it today, every word of it:"

I was only half listening when Donald Trump came into the spin room on CNN to explain why he’s been audited every year for twelve years.
“I’m always audited by the IRS, which I think is very unfair — I don’t know, maybe because of religion, maybe because of something else . . .

 

 "There are two possibilities here. Either Donald Trump believes what he said, or he doesn’t. If he does believe this, he’s sufficiently delusional to disqualify himself for public office. If he doesn’t believe this, he thinks his conservative Christian supporters are morons."
. . . 
"I know he now says that “nobody reads the Bible more than me.” But, again, I can’t imagine anyone actually believes him.
. . . 
"Apparently, according to Trump. . . The IRS is different. It’s like the eye of Sauron searching the land for “strong Christians.” When its cruel gaze landed upon the failed casino magnate, beauty-pageant impresario, thrice-married and confessed adulterer who’s talked about how his own daughter is so hot he’d date her if she wasn’t his daughter" . . . 

 I personally can’t wait to see the Trump Student Center and Hall of Greatness at Liberty University.) . . .
