And if Harris thought Trump was Christlike on Thursday, he surely saw him walking on water by Friday. The Labor Department's latest jobs report was released after the interview, and the report boasted higher-than-expected numbers including 225,000 jobs added in January.
The report added to the president's already successful week, which included an impeachment acquittal and record-high job approval.
Not even the Prince of Peace can say he did all that.
