    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.

        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?
