Trump admits he has no need to ask for forgiveness. What Christian do you know, that believes that? Can one honestly be a Christian and never ask for forgiveness or see the need to?
That in and of itself, gives me great pause about Trump. But there are many things about the man, his lack of character, his bravado, his brash personality, as a person, he does not seem like a good person, IMO.
But speaking to his politics, I don’t believe he’s a Conservative. Not by the standards I hold. He never speaks of the Constitution, the Constitutional process, or even about the limits that the federal government should be operating on. Everything Trump proposes, required MORE government, BIGGER over reach and MORE involvement into our lives. And what’s worse, is he has no problem using EO’s. He has already come out and said Obama’s actually opened the door and he (Trump) will do what HE thinks needs to be done with them. And his latest statements about punishing those who speak “negatively”, will need to be sued for libel, and have their money taken away. Who does that? He’s completely ignoring the 1st amendment and our God given right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom from the govt establishing a religion or prohibiting us from practicing ours, freedom to assemble peacefully and freedom to petition the government for a redress of grievances. He wants to usurp that, and as leader of the govt, decide what is negative and what is not, and then punish accordingly.
If people don’t know their history, they can accept Trump by his rhetoric and catchy slogans. If people don’t understand that Trump is telling us what he plans, just like Obama did, and if people don’t listen, wake up and really think hard about the kind of man that will take charge of this country, it’ll either be a HUGE mistake and America will be lost, or it’ll be the best thing we can do, to turn America around.
For me, there’s only one choice, because I solidly believe in the Constitution and the Bible. Those are the ONLY solutions to fix what is wrong with our country. And there is no Making America Great again, without understanding what made it GOOD to begin with. We have to get back to THAT, first. And there’s only ONE MAN who has a proven consistent record of upholding and fighting (many times alone) for the Constitution and who also appreciates Biblical values as a core for what this nation was founded on (and needs to get back to). That man is Ted Cruz.
Why does Cruz never mentions this? How come Jeb never mentioned that Ted Cruz worked for his brother? Moreover, Cruz and his dirty tricks is not very Christian that he claims to be.
As for Trump's relationship with God. That's between Donald Trump and God.
Yes Trump is not perfect, but I strongly disagree with what you said. Case in point Common Core. Trump wants to take education out of the bureaucrats in Washington DC, and make it locally. You know, the way it was when we were #1 in the world in education vs. today at #30 and falling. How is that growing government by making it locally? Trump wants to secure the border. Every POTUS did that up until Obama. That's the #1 duty of the government and they are not doing that. It's absolutely horrible that's not taking place. Yet you call that growing the government??? Trump wants to end the rigged trade deals where WE PAY TARIFFS TO CHINA, and they do not. Oh and that is what Cruz's wife helped arrange.
You are the first “conservative” to get upset about opening up the MSM to libel lawsuits for lying to the public. LOL! Hey it's bearing false witness since you say you are Christian. For the record I'm doubtful although I'm not going to argue with you. Anyhow, free political speech from going to jail or prison. At a work place you just can't say what you want and expect NOT to get fired from the business on the grounds of free speech. Free Speech is political speak that protects people from going to jail or prison by the Feds or any other type of government. However, you are liable if you are caught lying or misrepresenting someone. Certainly in the public domain. The MSM is notorious for always lying about people they do not like. It's why they lost so much credibility.
So where did Trump say he wanted to grow the bureaucracy? What securing the border? I'm okay with that. The military I'm okay with that.
