Donald Trump Jr. Makes Fun Of Nancy Pelosi’s Praying, Misuses Bible Reference

Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday tried to poke fun of Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, but inadvertently reveals his own unfamiliarity with the Bible. 

After ripping President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech, Pelosi later said she’d pray for the president. In response to this comment, Trump Jr. tweeted, “Likelihood of Nancy Pelosi praying for Trump is about the same as the likelihood of Satan running around quoting the Scriptures.”

Unfortunately for Trump Jr., Satan does in fact quote the Scriptures. Critics jumped at the opportunity to correct the first son. One tweeted scripture passages from the Book of Matthew. 

“The devil… said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written [in the Scriptures], “He will give his angels charge of you,” and “On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.”‘” -Matthew 4:5-6 https://t.co/zd2TbLXuPI

Others simply took the opportunity to make fun of the eldest Trump son.

Satan has a lot of lines in the Bible Chief

Once you realize that Satan quotes Scripture from the minute he shows up in the gospels, you understand why Jesus reserves his strongest words for religious leaders who quote Scripture to lead God’s people astray. pic.twitter.com/ZyY6LonQ4O
