Pence is only 1/2 inch above Trump's 'complete stupidity' level...he's quietly
waiting for Trump's resignation so he can get what he's always wanted...and the
Wednesday's bible study to be expanded?...maybe?...with a Christian nutball, who
knows!

Inside the White House Bible Study group
For the first time in at least 100 years, the US Cabinet has a bible study
group. What do they learn? What does Donald Trump make of it? And why aren't
women allowed to teach?
Every Wednesday, some of the world's most powerful people meet in a conference
room in Washington DC to learn about God.
The location can't be revealed - the Secret Service won't allow it - but the
members can.
Vice-President Mike Pence. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Education Secretary
Betsy DeVos. Energy Secretary Rick Perry. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The
list goes on.
In total, 10 cabinet members are "sponsors" of the group. Not everyone attends
every meeting - they are busy people - but they go if they can.
Meetings last between 60 and 90 minutes, and members are free to contact the
teacher after-hours. So who is the man leading the United States'
most-influential bible study?
Step forward Ralph Drollinger, a seven-foot tall basketball pro turned pastor.
Or, as the 63-year-old describes himself: "Just a jock with some bad knees."
When four of the group were elected to the Senate, they asked for a senators'
class, which began in 2015. Last March - two months after Donald Trump took
office - the same process led to a group for cabinet members.
"Trump started appointing to his cabinet all the guys that were in our House and
Senate bible study," says Drollinger, a trend he attributes to Vice-President
Mike Pence, who "knew who those strong believers were".
"Unlike our secular media," Drollinger says, he and others saw the appointees
had something in common - they "were strong in Christ".
"So Jeff Sessions, [former health secretary] Tom Price, others, said let's start
a ministry, a Cabinet bible study."
Capitol Ministries believes it is the first Cabinet-level bible study for "at
least 100 years". There was a group during George W Bush's presidency, but it
was for lower-ranking staff members.
President Trump is not a member of Drollinger's group - but he is a Christian,
and does get Drollinger's eight-page print-outs most weeks.
"He writes me back notes on my bible studies," says Drollinger.
