We're talking about Trump, not any other president. Secondly, when do two (or more) wrongs make a right? To justify Trump on that basis is simply not a Christian teaching no matter how hard you may try.Ok, lets go there, if we must. JFK, whored around in the White house, ditto for Clinton, Warren G. Harding dragged White House Maids into the White House closets, FDR had his mistress/secretary in the White House office, and in the White House when Eleanor was away.
I tend to strongly feel that morals count, and if you don't, then why do you have "Christian" by your avatar?If I voted for a President based upon a candidates morality, I probably wouldn't vote.
And extension of the Obama recovery whereas no quarter of the Trump economy has matched the growth of two of the quarters under Obama.A booming economy, unemployment at itś lowest in 30 years, black unemployment the lowest it has been in 60 years, Hispanic unemployment the lowest it has been in history.
On top of that, Trump has run up the deficit to almost $1 trillion already and is cutting programs that help the poor and the elderly. Seems to me if one truly believes in Jesus that they would not be supportive of that.
Trump doesn't as he has proposed things that would be in violation of the Constitution if implemented. He's an autocrat acting like previous autocrats that we've seen.I believe in the law.
Because of federal law, they couldn't put children in jail with their parents, but they did look for relatives and then others to help with the kids until the parent's legal fate was determined.Now, as to ¨children in cages¨. Trump didn´t initiate this policy, Obama did.
Trump's administration, otoh, threw thousands into these cages and are now building what in essence are basically internment camps-- "tent cities". And it seems to me that a Christian would be looking for ways to help these refugees but Trump has not proposed anything of the sorts.
So, which is more of one's following: Trump or Jesus, because it simply cannot be both?
