"Five beers please".

(8,935 posts)Put up your 2 fingers like you making the peace sign and ask
"What does this mean?"
Obvious answers, Number 2, Peace & Victory sign.
Then I give them the punch line,
"Nope! It's a Roman ordering 5 beers"
Some get it instantly, others eventually figure it out,
but there are those who never get it, even after explaining
to them that it's the roman numeral for 5.

(53,061 posts)After they have said something objectionable I will ask them if we should get all of the Islamic and Arabic influences out of the schools.
When they say yes I tell the joke and ask "do you rally want to go back to Roman Numerals 'cause I find Arabic numbers and decimal ten pretty convenient. And how exactly are we going to get computers to run on Roman Numerals?".

And of course Jesus was white and spoke perfect English.

(1,040 posts)... HE CANNOT READ. Seriously, every time he has a speech loaded into a teleprompter he goes off topic and veers into insanity. To hell with his tax returns ... let's make him take a freaking reading test!

(15,556 posts)He doesn't know how to read. Maybe they didn't teach that at his military (reform) school.
and he probably needs glasses, badly, but refuses to wear them, out of a misplaced sense of vanity (I say misplaced because there is no way he could make himself appealing, other than by paying lots and lots of money to venal women).

(9,739 posts)They would be horrified if Trump had read the Apostles' Creed along with everyone else. "No creed but Christ" is their motto, and this includes all Baptists, Pentecostalists, Church of Christ (who won't even have instrumental music in their churches because they say the Bible doesn't mention it), various sects of the Church of God, etc. Here's an interesting article on the subject:

These are the Trump voters.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)Sentiment similar to the other denominations, and there's no shortage of Trump supporters in the COB (though there is very much a shortage in my congregation). I'd bet a shiny nickel Trump couldn't explain any of the nuance of the sectarian considerations. I just don't think he can read anymore (if he ever could).

(2,381 posts)Growing up a Pentecostal I never heard of the Apostles' Creed. As a Methodist, I learned it. Now, an atheist, I know its history and can say it in Greek and Pig Latin. But seriously, you're right. The Evangelicals might not have been happy had he said it.
Glorfindel
(9,739 posts)That's quite an accomplishment!

(21,756 posts)Maybe Presbeterian if it matters. We all know he's just a Trumpian.
Mariana
(14,861 posts)They certainly won't be bothered that Trump didn't do it.
I will go so far as to say I bet Franklin Graham or one of his fundie clones specifically advised Trump not to recite it.

(53,061 posts)You will notice that unlike most people who read in phrases he reads slowly word for word.

(4,614 posts)Just like he was secretly sworn in on the Koran at his Inauguration.

(1,900 posts)Trump can barely read and Melanoma is supporting him.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)Ive suspected that for quite a while because occasionally he waves his notes around and you can see the font is very large and there is large handwriting. And I happen to be watching when he was handing out some medals and when there was a long shot of the room the TelePrompter with his speech on it had huge lettering. Then just days ago he signed the alleged trade deal with Mexico and Canada on the wrong line.
Then he has trouble going up or down steps, but strolls along just fine on ground level.
Hes too vain to wear glasses and he thinks hes fooling us.
