It's not a quotation from Scripture.

Out of curiosity, how often has Donald Trump quoted "scripture?"

Thomas Aquinas studied and quoted scripture every day of his adult life.

Why are you bringing Donal Trump here? That must be some serious TDS. If that monks opinion does not align with the scriptures then they are meaningless opinions and as a man of fate, he probably should revise his salvation. Usually, he should have provided some Bible verses to back up his claim. What I mean, if you are a man of faith, then you should walk in faith.
