That almost nobody who points out Trump's use of "Two Corinthians" fails to mention that this is the way most British Christians refer to what we call "Second Corinthians." I'm sure Trump doesn't know that, but it is still a perfectly acceptable way to speak, not a ridiculous blunder.

Yeah that’s a pretty dumb criticism. I dislike a lot about Trump but that’s a silly one. I believe that it was Carl Trueman who raised the possibility that Trump’s mother (who was Scottish) may have catechized him using that terminology.
