My understanding is that he has been using his unsecured personal cell to chat to his mates,
Doesn't his Minders look after all that?
I guess he feels he has a life outside the Presidency
I doubt it. The Most Powerful Person in The World? :rofl

I don't care about Donald Trump. Is he religious ... I doubt it.

In MY OPINION, anybody who believes there is a HEAVEN where they will meet all their long-gone rellies is DELUSIONAL.

Absolutely NOTHING. I just wondered whether he was RELIGIOUS ...

I've never seen any indication that he is.

Apparently he is a Presbyterian.

Trump is a Presbyterian.[55][56][57] His ancestors were Lutheran on his paternal grandfather's side in Germany[58] and Presbyterian on his mother's side in Scotland.[59] His parents married in a Manhattan Presbyterian church in 1936.[60] As a child, he attended the First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, where he had his confirmation.[40] In the 1970s, his parents joined the Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan,[61] part of the Reformed Church.[62] The pastor at Marble, Norman Vincent Peale, ministered to Trump's family and mentored him until Peale's death in 1993.[63][61] Trump has cited Peale and his works during interviews when asked about the role of religion in his personal life.[61] In August 2015 Trump told reporters, "I am Presbyterian Protestant. I go to Marble Collegiate Church," adding that he attends many different churches because he travels a lot.[64] The Marble Collegiate Church then issued a statement noting that Trump and his family have a "longstanding history" with the church, but that he "is not an active member".[62]

Trump said he was "not sure" whether he ever asked God for forgiveness, stating "If I do something wrong, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture." He said he tries to take Holy Communion as often as possible because it makes him "feel cleansed".[55] While campaigning, Trump referred to The Art of the Deal as his second favorite book after the Bible, saying, "Nothing beats the Bible."[65] The New York Times reported that evangelical Christians nationwide thought "that his heart was in the right place, that his intentions for the country were pure."[66]

Trump has associations with a number of Christian spiritual leaders, including Florida pastor Paula White, who has been called his "closest spiritual confidant."[67] In 2015, he released a list of religious advisers, including James Dobson, Jerry Falwell Jr., Ralph Reed, Michele Bachmann, Robert Jeffress, and others.[68][69]

I don't really care what he is so long as he doesn't preach it.

No offence meant, Sprint.

I won't end up in Heaven because I am a Reformed Agnostic.

I won't end up in Hell either.

Here's an interesting story, Sprint. You might appreciate.

My Mother promised me that when she got to Heaven she would let me know. She wasn't particularly religious, but started going to Church (Methodist), probably so that the Minister would "know her" and say "good words" at her funeral.

As it happened, I got the Grandfather Clock thing (mantel version) as a memento (prior to Estate stuff). So I put it on my "sideboard" and it never chimed ... the reason I wanted it as a memento ... the quarter hour Westminster chimes ...

Then, several months after Mum died, my sister came to stay and we were yapping on about "stuff" (including Mum) and suddenly, that damn clock started to chime and chime and chime! My sister and I looked at each other and she said "We are talking ABOUT you Mum, not TO you!"

We took it as an indication that Mum had honoured her promise. The clock is still here but hasn't chimed since that time ... probably needs a Watchmaker to check it out. :rofl
