I came across this short audio of Trump telling someone who asked him "Who is God to you?"

I agree with Trump's answer, it is simple and not pandering to any specific religion, just those that recognize that God is indeed "the ultimate". I like the "purity" of it, without all the strings that formalized religions bring to God.

Often when people tell me that aren't sure if there is a God, I make nearly that same basic comment to them and a light goes on and they realize they knew God's presence forever but didn't put a name on it.

Trump gets it:

Just out of curiosity, are you trying to break the all time City-Data record for posting links from Angry Patriot? I strongly urge you to stop reading a blog named Angry Patriot. Unless it's about Aaron Hernandez in prison.

Its quite ridiculous really. He is clearly less religious than Kim Jung Un and Stalin who banned all religions. I think he should just be honest with us here. He could be an important figure for the rapidly growing segment who is stepping out of the closet and reject religion.

Actually, Trump's response to the question had more to do with his making great deals than it did about his belief(s) about G-d. If he wanted to talk religion, he could have expounded about that a LOT more than he did.

"G-d is the uitimate" Sounds like new age pandering to me.
Like he wasn't comfortable answering the question.

I agree. Trump thinks he is a god; and he said "me, of course, next question."
