Trump supporters


Nov 23, 2019, 3:51 PM

Paula White, Trump's faith advisor, who is employed at the white house, now declares "To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.’

My only question is how is it possible that you can't see how bad this is for the country and particularly young americans.

a reason that evangelicals overwhelmingly support Trump in spite of his personal flaws (that they admit). It's because he supports their beliefs with policy much more than Obama or any of the current candidates ever thought about doing. Biden even got denied Communion like a month ago in Florence. I know Dems like to think they are looking out for the little guy as well as illegal aliens, but their policies have been demonstrably proven not to work. Good intentions, little or no results.




I can't argue with that. When Obama was in office the Dems proved that they are no different than Republicans in taking special interest money and legislating special interest priorities. Wall St. reckless behavior crashed the worlds economy, and no one went to jail. That still steams me.

My exposure to evangelicals, which has been long and ongoing had convinced me that they were committed to living a life 'for the Kingdom of God to come" rather than 'this world'. I could not have been more wrong. The idea that they would support such a man in return for conservative judges is both illuminating and deeply disturbing.

When a politician, from any party, supplants you're core faith, then what is left for them?
Paula White is on the payroll at the white house. That is OUR house. The idea that we actually pay the salary of supposed preacher that compares the President to God is an abomination to any true believer and even more so to none believers.

But the evangelicals will not speak up nor will the Conservatives. I am a fiscal conservative but a socially liberal Independent. I belong to no party.

Obama didn't "persecute" Christians and the only reason you feel like he did was because right wing media/pundits told you that "truth" for 8 years.

If Obama had done what Trump did in N.Syria or been as friendly to S.Arabia as Trump has been, right wing pundits would never have stopped yelling about it.



Imagine if Obama was Trump in that photo. What do you think the right wing response would be? Suddenly, when a republican* is in office, their "anti-Christian" narrative stops.


I am curious though, what issues does Trump support that you think Christians support?

Obama isn't persecuting Christians there, he's talking about how all the great things that religion gives us can get hijacked by those who do evil and then brings up valid points of historical facts where that has happened. He's not saying one faith is better than another, if anything, he's arguing for tolerance.

The only way to read anything "anti-Christian" in his statement there is if you are incapable of understanding or choose to be ignorant of historical evidence and fact.

Regarding the impeachment hearings, if you don't think there was evidence presented at the hearings then you didn't watch. Here's a good summary Cam posted to help you catch up:

You’re right he’s not, he’s supporting freedom of religion which is what this country was founded on. Trump supporters only want one religion to be tolerated. They are the most unAmerican group of people in this country and Trump is the most ungodly as it pertains to the Bible president that we’ve ever seen. At least Bill Clinton owned up and apologized for his transgressions. Trump lies about them, demeans and insults his victims, and then he gets endorsed by people like Franklin Graham. You can’t make this #### up.

The only issue he supports that is even remotely “Christian” is his stance on abortion. Which btw was totally different before he ran for the republican nomination.

Trump is the exact opposite of how the New Testament teaches that Christians should behave. I will give him credit though, he knew exactly how to gain favor with evangelicals....claimed he didn’t drink, was pro life, and promised to keep the brown people out. Lying, slandering, insulting, boasting, etc..none of that matters.....

Yes, I have felt the presence of God in my life. But if you're suggesting that God put Trump in office I would strongly disagree with that notion.

The idea that any candidate is in office through a mandate from God isn't an idea that I'm at all receptive to. It is, in my view, an abomination and a diminution of of God. Contrary to some believers I don't think that God ordained the United States any more than he chose monarchs in europe to rule by divine right.

She said she was obeying Trump to comply with her commision which came from God, in order to obey God. I am not privy to what God tells anyone else to do. God does not put your mail in my mailbox. He doesn't put her mail in your mailbox either.

If you want to ridicule her for being a Trump supporter that's your privilege being an American but you are not privileged to challenge her relationship with God.

She did not tell anyone to obey Trump so as to obey God. That thought comes from the carnal mind but you and I have the mind of Christ.

It's pure foolishness and as I said. God does not put her mail in your PO box. If she is lying or deceiving anyone it's herself. I pay her no mind but you slandered her unjustly by twisting the meaning of what she said. You did not think with your spiritual mind and it's high time you were aware of that.

If she says it's her obligation to God to obey Trump that's her burden not yours and not mine.

It's none of my business who Paula sleeps with and frankly I don't care. But she's on the public payroll and I don't think she should be. She's a prosperity preacher and in my view a charlatan like Hinn. In 2016 White brought in over $40 million dollars preaching about Jesus. The White House is the representation of America, and right now it's got a very bad reputation.

Also, I forgive all of the Trump's associates that have been indicted for and those who have pled guilty to crimes. :)

because it was Hillary, you're still not getting it. You'll have to have a candidate that appeals to mainstream America more than Trump. No doubt Hillary was not that candidate, and honestly, I don't see anybody so far who is. Most Americans are unapologetically proud to be Americans, and feel a stir in their hearts when the Star Spangled Banner is played and the flag is raised and the jets fly over, and strongly resent the idea that they should have to qaulify or explain it. They also view those who don't feel the same with a degree of suspicion and disdain. They believe America is the greatest country in the world, that our founding fathers were great, honorable men, and are not afraid to say it. When you find a candidate that fully believes and embraces all of that, you might have a shot. Until then, you will have to wait until a younger, brainwashed generation is big enough to tip the scales.

You seem like an intelligent man T3, I've read your posts. I would only suggest adding other sites or channels to you menu in addition to you're conservative media. You're being misled on a couple of points. European countries like America have dissidents, left-wing and right-wing factions. They also have fringe groups like we do. It wasn't "Germany" protesting our involvement in Serbia/Kosovo because Germany was a part of the coalition that we were a part of.

You're characterizations are pure right-wing media. The idea that only Fox News tells the truth is merely propaganda foisted by right wing media who have a financial interest as well as an ideological interest in retaining it's readers and viewers. Fox News does tell truth, they're opinion people in prime time, by all reasonable measures sometimes do not. I'm a big fan of Chris Wallace, for example and Brett Baer. Watching Fox actually helped me spot 'fluff' and 'partisan' reports on CNN and others. I think we could all use a dose of the opposition in order to ascertain real truth.

You seem like a sincere man who believes what he says. We may not agree on some points but I'm certainly willing to listen to what you have to say.

Our involvement in Serbia/Kosovo war was through Nato. Virtually every country in Europe was a member of Nato at the time, which would have included Germany. But I agree with you that immigrants have caused significant problems in Europe particularly in Germany and Belgium. I think the mistake the European's made is they put the immigrant population together in neighborhoods rather than spreading them among the population. This had the effect of having 'little syria' neighborhoods in different parts of their country. Belgium in particular allowed the immigrant populations to feel and in some cases actually be segregated from the rest of Belgium. As a result they began to develop their own agendas and grievances. That creates real problems for any host country.

It was honestly more than that.

It would take a masterful - I'm tempted to say impossibly masterful - politician to straddle the lines between conservative and liberal well enough to please both sides right now...but for 20-30 years the Democrats haven't even tried. It finally bit them bigly this past election.

The Dems have concentrated on urban areas, ignoring the rural areas while farmers took it in the teeth and the plight of ordinary country folks has gotten worse and worse...and even more unforgivably, they've done it by policy. "Flyover states" entered the political lexicon as an honest-to-God legitimate thing; don't waste your time, political advisors told their candidates, in these states or regions because there's not enough people there to bother.

And so the country folks haven't been represented...and they duly soured on the vine towards government.

Why wouldn't they? And the fact is, these overwhelmingly white, rural, working-class, non-college-educated evangelicals haven't just been ignored and exploited and bled dry by banks and corporate combines, they've increasingly been lampooned, disrespected, and stereotyped to a degree that America simply wouldn't tolerate towards any other group.

White, poor, and country is fair game for everybody else to mock. And along with that has come an intolerance and lampooning of religion in general by the so-called "urban elites".

Trump saw all that...and with that, his chance. Yeah, he's a charlatan, a showman, a con artist...but like all such types he reads his audience well, saw the seething anger and frustration, and told those people exactly what they wanted to hear.

And that's why the Democrats lost the last election...and won't make any kind of headway in rural areas until they change their ways and become actual "the party of the people" again. Their "big tent" seems to have room for everybody...except the country folks.

What you said is flawlessly accurate and dems have no consideration of it.

I agree with your analysis. It's true that the Dems have focused on the cities and suburbs. The coastal elitism is clear in Pelosi and Shumer. Even to this day, when the Dems had a chance to elect a new speaker they caved to the Pelosi camp.

Both sides have a formula to appeal to the electorate. The Dems really, really need to get new leadership or they're doomed....again. I saw an interview with Perez the Chairman of the DNC (another terrible choice) and he went on and on about growing the party by convincing American's of what the Democrats can offer them.

He betrayed what I believe is the mindset of the Dems, it's not about what the people want, but what the Dems want and how they can convince folks to sign on. That is Clinton messaging and it's bass ackwords.
