Trump hailed Jeffress as a "Christian warrior" and appeared to admit his own ignorance of the Bible in the course of dishing out effusive praise: "I didn't know him, but I watched him, and I'd watch him on different shows. I said,' I like that guy. Man, he talks really great about me, and I like people that talk well about me.' He was saying, 'He may not be the greatest Christian I've ever seen, he may not know the Bible quite as well as the rest of us, in fact he may not know it very well at all, but that guy's a real leader.'"
