Donald Trump Became a Christian in 2020

John Oliver is weighing in on the controversy surrounding Donald Trump after he questioned Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity by pointing out that the former president and Republican nominee “became a Christian” while running for reelection for a second term.

The Last Week Tonight host opened the show Sunday by discussing Trump's appearance last week at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago, where he answered a question from a ballroom stage by saying that Harris, who is of Jamaican and Indian descent, had only spoken about the latter when she “became black.”

“She’s always been of Indian descent, and she was just promoting her Indian heritage,” Trump said on July 31. “I didn’t know she was black until a few years ago when she became black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don’t know if she’s Indian or black? I respect either one, but she clearly doesn’t.”

The 78-year-old's question about his presumed rival's racial identity sparked an uproar in the Chicago ballroom and across the country, with many calling the question racist, hateful and divisive. Oliver noted, however, that Trump made a similar shift to the one he falsely claims Harris made — but with her religion as he sought reelection.

In his opening remarks, Oliver addressed the backlash over the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, which, among other compelling but controversial elements, included a drag queen dinner scene that some interpreted as a reenactment of the biblical Last Supper. Speaking on Fox News, Trump decried the scene's inclusion in the event, which took place along the Seine River and featured performances by Lady Gaga and Celine Dion.

“We’re not going to have a Last Supper, as they described the other night,” Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham when asked what influence he might have on the Olympics if they were held in the United States and he won a second term. “I just think I’m for everybody. I’m very open-minded. You understand me. You know me better than most people. I’m very open-minded, but I think what they did was a disgrace,” he said.

In response to the controversy, artistic director Thomas Jolly said he was not trying to evoke the Last Supper in the performance at all, but was celebrating diversity while paying homage to French gastronomy.

Oliver then pointed out Trump's notable shift in faith, saying, “It's always strange to see Trump act like he cares about religion, because to echo something I heard someone say recently, I didn't know he was a Christian until a few years ago when he became a Christian. All of a sudden, he made a change and became a Christian.”

During his career, Trump has publicly identified himself as a Presbyterian on several occasions and was confirmed in the Presbyterian Church. He announced his change of religious preferences in October 2020.

“I now consider myself a nondenominational Christian,” Trump said in a statement to Religious News Services. “Melania and I have had the opportunity to visit incredible churches and meet with great faith leaders around the world. During the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, I have attended several virtual church services and I know millions of Americans have done the same.”
