The day before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly be attending an interfaith prayer service in Washington D.C. His wealthiest supporters can also attend — if they write or solicit a big enough check.

12 Then Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers.”

Just to be clear, he didn't have the whip on him. He was so outraged that he left, braided his own whip, and came back like four hours later.

I like to imagine Christ sitting on a rock muttering to himself, "Doing that shit in The Lord's house, I'm about to show you assholes the proper ending to a Monopoly™ Game, and that won't even be invented for another 1900 years."

Meanwhile the apostles are just watching in horror trying desperately to figure out what it was that finally pissed him off.

When asking yourself, "WWJD?" always remember that whipping people and flipping tables is on the menu.
