I have no problem with Trump saying the things that need to be said. I have commended him for that here, many times. And yes, Jesus used harsh words against the Pharisees whose teachings were condemning people for whom He would die.

I don’t think He ever said that we should punch those who disagree with us in the face though. Or ridicule the Pharisees for looking like a horse.

I’m sorry we all can’t be as perfect as Jesus. And Trump’s words were words of reaction, not incitement. he said them after a protester had already used violence against peaceful Trump supporters, some of them children. First and foremost, Trump is a parent and I took it as his parental instincts kicking in. I know, I have been in that same situation and sadly we are not equipped to be the picture of perfection you are shoving down our throats. Yes we try, but I don’t read anywhere in the bible that God expects absolute perfection.
