I'm Trumped

For me, one of the more puzzling aspects of this presidential campaign is the support evangelicals are giving Donald Trump. Just what is it about Trump that makes him attractive to people who put their faith above all else? They certainly can't be supporting Trump because of his; whatever boast he makes about his personal piety is a bunch of bull.              

Perhaps the evangelicals' priorities are not what they claim. When voters cast their ballots in upcoming primaries, will they heed Franklin Graham's appeal to put God back into politics? When Graham urges Christians to remember their Christian values when voting, that doesn't sound to me like he's endorsing a vulgar candidate who insults women, Mexicans, Muslims, and the handicapped, not to mention political opponents.

If anything, Donald Trump is a secularist who would keep politics free of religious influence. When he says he wants to make America great again, he never mentions Judeo-Christian values. He makes no bones about wanting to round up and deport millions of illegals, regardless of what it does to families. When he says he will close our borders to Muslim refugees, even women and children, it's certainly not out of Christian charity.

While Trump was making billions for himself, he survived four bankruptcies that screwed creditors out of millions of dollars and put thousands of people out of work. He even once tried to force a little old lady off her property so he could build a parking lot for one of his casinos. As the president, would he put the welfare of ordinary Americans above his own?

Donald Trump worships one God, the God of money and power. He is an egomaniac in this race for his personal gratification. If he gains the White House, he is sure to rule as a godless tyrant. God help us.
