Leading Republician presidential candidate Donald Trump was pounced on at a conservative Christian college in Lynchburg, Va., when he asked the crowd, “Two Corinthians, right?” at Liberty University, bungling what Bible-studying Christians know as “Second Corinthians.”
The crowd immediately broke out in uproarious laughter, knowing that Trump is not very familiar with the Bible nor practices the faith. A reporter on the scene commented that “#TwoCorinthians sounds like it could be a great sitcom.”
Social media had a field day with it. Check out some of the funniest social media responses to Trump’s faux pas.
If Donald Trump found two Corinthians, he'd have them deported.
