Then again, I say that to all trumpers.
Short and to the point.
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.

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.

And yet, thats 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.

They follow the dictates of the "Convenientestiment', especially Kings First.

(8,719 posts)That tape where he says he grabs womens p*ssies, etc should have immediately disqualified him in ANYONES 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. Im hardly a go to church every Sunday type but many things he has done go right along with downright sacrilegion if not Satanism.

(2,143 posts)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.

(2,143 posts)...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.
