    Perform a religious prayer of a religion they don’t adhere to?

    This is not normal whatsoever.

      Trump swears by the bible but doesn’t adhere to it, how is this any different?

        He doesn’t pretend to be Jewish.

        It’s common for Christian politicians to visit other religious sites such as mosques or synagogues. But actively performing a prayer is a completely different matter.

          “Performing” a prayer?

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Once again, nobody’s pretending to be Jewish. Everyone who does this has to wear one. Gentiles included.

            Sure but the question is not how the religious ritual is performed but why US presidents and their entourage are performing it when it’s clearly not their religion.

        Why does it have to be different? Why can’t both things be gross?

      There’s “normal” and there’s “politician normal”. Let’s also not forget that all this religious bullshit was started to make it easier for politicians to control people.
