“I thought it was for offering”, Donald Trump said with a laugh to his staff. Maybe he wouldn’t have done this if he was more familiarized with what’s happening in a church.
So far, Trump has attracted significant evangelical support, with high-profile leaders including Liberty University’s Jerry Falwell officially endorsing his campaign.
At the end of the church service one of the pastors laid hands on Trump’s shoulder and prayed that: “Jesus would guide his decisions and that only Christ could guide his decisions”.
“I’d love to run against him”, Trump told supporters at his campaign rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on Monday ahead of the caucus.
Trump told the crowd that if he is the Republican nominee, he could win states that other Republicans cannot win in a general election.
In a video posted to Facebook, Trump showed off a Bible his mother gave him “many years ago”.
In the latest Des Moines Register-Bloomberg Politics poll, Trump claims a 5 point lead over of Texas Sen.
“I don’t have to win it. But I think it would be really good to win Iowa”, Trump said Monday.

On Saturday, Mr Trump also released a new video showing off the Trump family Bible, saying it is “very special to me”. “In fact, it’s her writing, right here”, he said opening to a page near the front of the Holy book. “And again, I want to thank the Evangelicals, I will never let you down”.
