That doesn't change that it's not the majority nor the most visible. 46% of Americans are protestant and most media here that portrays Christians, from fundies and zealots to the normal guys, overwhelming uses Protestant sects. Not saying that Catholics aren't seen but when you think Christian here in the USA, your first thought probably isn't the Catholic Church.
Also, what does Melania being Catholic have to do with Trump not reciting the Apostles' Creed? She's his wife not his priest.
I think this is one of those moments where he felt more comfortable letting everyone else speak and didn't want to mess up saying the Apostles' Creed. Lord knows the media would have a field day with that. A least he can make excuses for not praying. The media would not let a gaff, even with something so minor, be washed away.
I mean, you can make all the excuses and justifications that you want, but Catholicism, particularly where Trump has spent the majority of his life (NYC!), is not rare or esoteric. And Melania would be familiar with and take no issue with the Creed if she's Catholic, no, lol? But she didn't say it, either. I'm just curious as to why they didn't, but we will never know and quite honestly it's none of my business. It should be respectful enough to bow one's head like he did, but of course the media is going to shit on him no matter what he does, just like they're doing now for not saying it.
Overall Obama's smug, self-satisfied smirk during the whole service was far worse.
