Second makes more sense, as it's the second letter, but calling out Trump for using 2 Corinthians is rather silly.

I also don't believe reading scriptures makes anyone more of a Christian - I know atheists who have read the bible more than most Christians.

That's sad for you.
I've been in sales for 29 years and I can tell you for a fact that any salesman who expects to make a career in the industry had better be sincere about his product. If you can't believe in what you sell, go sell what you can believe in. You can live on lies for a short term, but they will all come back to bite you and you'll be run out of the business. I've seen it happen more times that I can count. The flim flam artists run up high totals in the short term, then word gets out and they're done. I only know of a couple of smooth liars that were able to survive. They went into management.

I can see how that would be true in some industries. However, as i said, it has been rare in my experience. Admittedly I have never done and doubt that I could do sales.

I was less amused by his saying "Two Corinthians" than his implying his book is second only to the Bible. Seemingly as an afterthought in order to, you know, not say his book is more important than the Bible to a room full of Liberty University students.

So that everyone knows, in a list of most important pieces of literature in the world the order is something like this:

1. The Bible
2. Trump: The Art of the Deal
3. ???

I mean, yeah, the Bible is great. Woo! Yeah! Go Bible!

All I'm saying is that Trump talking about religion is like me talking about sports.

As I recall, casinos are legal in Atlantic city.
Considering how successful they are, I wish I had one.

They're not all successful -- Trump's Taj Mahal went bankrupt last year and ended up shafting over 1,000 employees out of their health benefits and pensions.... and that was just last year.

The first time Taj Mahal went bankrupt, it was a little less than a year after it opened... apparently the Donald had sank a little too much into it; they're called "junk bonds" for a reason, don't you know.
