Before the final presidential debate, US President Donald Trump attended a service at the Las Vegas International Church, but a photo of the event attracted a lot of attention on social media.
The president, who rarely goes to church but remains popular with evangelical Christians for his opposition to abortion and for appointing conservative judges, attended the event under a crowded roof and was once again seen without a mask.
Trump, who adored with some of the White House staff, including Hope Hicks and Kayleigh McEnany, put a wad of $ 20 bills in the donation bin marked “Change 4 Change.”
However, before making the donation, he was caught counting the tickets while sitting in a chair at the podium. The photo of the US president of Reuters photographer Carlos Barria was soon widely shared on social media.
Trump, who was in Nevada on a campaign trip to the crucial battlefield state that narrowly lost to Democrats in 2016, attended the mass service ahead of a campaign event in Carson City. Pastor Paul Marc Goulet of the International Nondenominational Church of Las Vegas greeted the president “because he just came to church,” Las Vegas Review reported.
“This is his third time here, that means he is a member of the church. I do not care what anyone else says. I love my president, ”Goulet added. Trump was heard saying it was “a great honor” to attend the service, adding “I love going to churches” and urging parishioners to “leave on or before November 3” to vote.
Here’s how people reacted to the photo:
You will count it as an expense for the campaign. Thinking about how to do sleight of hand. pic.twitter.com/04ZvcfXUPv

I love a so-called billionaire who leaves $ 20 in the collection plate and then asks for change.

A “billionaire” who can only donate $ 20. What a charity. Woohoo!

Of course you are counting, you need to claim the amount of your taxes.

$ 20.00 or $ 10.00, and it’s probably money that you had printed just so you could put your photo on it … 🤭🤣 https://t.co/5WilQ6tv8c

One of the church’s pastors, Denise Goulet, told Trump from the stage that God had told her that she would win the 2020 election. Reuters reported.
