Did you hear this? Did you hear Donald Trump actually claim that the IRS could be targeting him because he is such a strong Christian? Did you perhaps think it was some weird dream, or a nightmare from which you could not awaken? No, my friends, it is very real, and there is video to prove it.

TRUMP: I’m always audited by the IRS, which I think is very unfair. I dunno, maybe because of religion, maybe because of something else, maybe because I’m doing this, although this is just recently…

CUOMO: What do you mean “religion”?

TRUMP: Well, maybe because of the fact that I’m a strong Christian, and I feel strongly about it, there’s a bias…

CUOMO: You think you can be audited because you’re a strong Christian?

TRUMP: I mean, you see what’s happened…

Now, don’t get me wrong: We know federal agencies like the IRS love to target Christian groups. But, this is Donald Trump, noted supporter of Planned Parenthood. A guy who said he would be glad to fund Planned Parenthood, because they do good things. This is the same Donald Trump that has said he has never felt the need to ask for forgiveness from God. This man – this authoritarian egomaniac who believes only in himself – believes that the IRS would target him for being something he has never, ever, publicly been.
