One of the more puzzling 🤔 questions that I Constantly re-hash in my brain 🧠 of which I believe still holds some semblance of reasoning. How could Any Sane human adult of any race, religion or political party, listen to Donald Trump speak, about Any subject, idea or belief and come to the conclusion that yes this is the right choice for the job of the Most Powerful Man on the planet. And leader of our democracy? Are you kidding me? And why? ONE ☝️ just one good reason. That man is Seriously ill and his thinking is so fractured he is beyond stupid.

11. I go with, "Trump's a Christian? Okay, we'll give it to you. Anything you say. That's a Christian. It's what a Christian

is and that's what Christians do!."

I don't have time to figure out who's a good Christian and who's not. As far as I'm concerned, our government doesn't either. Shitcan the tax breaks for churches and clergy. Let the free market decide. If church is that important to them, they can pay full bore like everyone else.

2. I wonder how they compartmentalize their belief the US is a Christian country

And the fact that the majority of migrants they want kept out at the Border or Christians? Is it their prejudice against brown Christians or Catholics?

At my age, I tend to avoid wasting time and energy on insane people who won't seek help.

are all Christians.
And yet, that’s never mentioned by the mainstream media.
Meanwhile, Trump has said he never prays, has never asked for forgiveness and never read the Bible (2 Corinthians).

Still, he is somehow portrayed as Pro Jesus and Pro God while the Democrats are portrayed as the heathen unchurched Communist God haters.
Liberal media, my ass.

Trump is a 'Convenient-tarian'.
They follow the dictates of the "Convenientestiment', especially Kings First.

8. He has done and said many things that should alarm them.

That tape where he says he grabs women’s p*ssies, etc should have immediately disqualified him in ANYONE’S book. Then all the sacrilegious things he has done, selling Bibles, adding stuff to them, autographing them, holding a Bible upside down after attacking peaceful protestors saying he is the “Chosen One.” I’m hardly a “go to church every Sunday” type but many things he has done go right along with downright sacrilegion if not Satanism.

10. I don't think anything can be said that would change any minds.

After all, it's been pointed out by many--even by a few religious leaders--that Trump is pretty much the walking, talking embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins. Then there was the dust-up over Communion (Trump essentially blasphemed Transubstantiation, which is a tenet of not just Catholicism but several other denominations)...the lack of respect for authentic Christianity is obvious to anyone except his followers.

12. Why do they support a non Christian over a Christian?

It’s never mentioned that his opponents are church going Christians.

...is a churchgoing Christian, despite all evidence to the contrary. They certainly would never call Trump a "non-Christian". I can only conclude that this is pure tribalism. Trump's biggest fans will vote for him no matter what he does. Recall that a lot of Trump's most fervent followers were previously apolitical non-voters. My guess is that if/when Trump loses, they will crawl back under the rocks from whence they came, because there is no one else out there at the moment with Trump's brand of "negative charisma". That may indeed change, but my guess is that it won't as long as Trump is still alive.
