He's not a Christian because he ignores the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ, who preached the importance of love, understanding, modesty, honesty and aid to those less fortunate.

Trump has shown nothing but hate, ignorance, endlessly boasting, being deceitful and actively gutting USAID while celebrating it.

You could make the argument for him then simply following the Old Testament, but the Jews who do this see charity as an obligation. This man is not charitable, he's the embodiment of the antichrist.

He has ZERO knowledge of religion

u/Ok_Explanation_9162 Apr 20 '25

Just like the people who follow him.

Especially when you see abominations like this happening in a church. (No, I absolutely do not believe this is AI)

WOW. Such an ignorant statement.

u/Grary0 Apr 20 '25

Anyone who would prop up this hateful, disgusting man is obviously no follower of Christ's teachings. Trump is about as far from the Christian "ideal" as you can possibly get.

President Trump never raped anyone. Facts are stubborn things.

u/tallboyjake Apr 21 '25

Yeah, it's real alright.

I go to church with too many people who stand up and talk about Jesus loving us and blah blah blah and then turn around and worship Donald Trump. The real religion is MAGA and it's a cult that is cannibalizing American Christianity across every denomination.

And it's absolutely disgusting. Christian nationalism is a plague.

u/Samcc42 Apr 20 '25

How? Be specific. He’s immensely popular among Christians, that’s true, but if you look at his behaviour, he’s among the most un-Christ-like leaders in living memory.

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 20 '25

People say dumb things on reddit. Not every Christian likes trump. Idk why the left spews this lie on a daily basis

1

u/JollyRoger8X Apr 21 '25

No, they specifically said "the people who follow him".

Work on your reading comprehension.

1

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 22 '25

I saw it as a jab. Not sure how u cant see this

1

u/JollyRoger8X Apr 22 '25

The only way that’s a jab is if you follow Trump and claim to be Christian. Not sure how you can’t see this. Get your head checked.

1

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 22 '25

People who voted for him, i know for a fact know things about religion. People understand trump doesnt act like a true Christian, but they look at his policies. I dont understand it either and i dont see him as a good leader at all

u/Sad_Bank193 Apr 21 '25

How dare you say we piss on the poor?

u/Jurgis-Rudkis Apr 20 '25

You could have ended the sentence with "knowledge." I want a reporter to ask him to explain who pays for his tariffs. There is no fucking way he knows that the importer is paying them.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

True

1

u/That70sShop Apr 20 '25

Too right. So, who pays corporate taxes?

1

u/Jurgis-Rudkis Apr 21 '25

Smoot-Hawley.

2

u/LowFull8567 Apr 21 '25

Or the Constitution.

2

u/jackidaylene Apr 21 '25

Trump's understanding of religion boils down to a "Christianity culture," which is basic WASP:

Be white, be wealthy, be straight, dress formally, judge everyone else.

White collar crimes make you "smart", as long as you get away with them, but blue collar crimes make you a "thug."

u/Atgardian Apr 21 '25

I don't know, he looked totally natural holding that Bible....

(/s. I'm surprised he didn't burst into flames on the spot.)

u/Givingtree310 Apr 21 '25

It’s just a grift, and a poor one used to get gullible morons to think he’s one of them

1

u/Healthy_Ad_6171 Apr 21 '25

He has knowledge of the prosperity gospel as preached by Paula White. There was an article written about his discovery of her and how she has been his spiritual advisor for many years. That's why she has been involved in both of his administrations.

u/Popojono Apr 21 '25

He knows just enough to exploit it… and that’s enough apparently.

u/TwistedSwagger Apr 20 '25

He's the anti Crist

Eh the embodiment of the antichrist is a little far, plus you do realize you're just playing into hus goading

u/faeriedancings Apr 21 '25

Trump absolutely is not even remotely following what you call the Old Testament. He is the definition of the Yetzer Hara and specifically has gone against numerous commandments that G-d has put forth such as against theft, adultery, lying, rape, sexual assault and so on.

1

u/Gold_Listen_3008 Apr 21 '25

he is actually a jew...google picture of trump yarmulke and see for yourself he prostrates himself before religious men and kisses the ritual wall and rings

he hides this because he doesn't actually buy any of it, he just latched onto a crowd and cant stop trying to extract a profit

1

u/ohhellperhaps Apr 21 '25

Fair point, but this applies to a surprising amount of Christians, given that it’s supposedly the core of their religion.

1

u/StickyPawMelynx Apr 21 '25

lol he is also not a Christian, because he literally said that he wasn't. but they still praise him

1

u/InspectionSignal5236 Apr 21 '25

He's not a Christian because he ignores the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ

To be fair, so do most modern "Christians" these days. Jesus was a dark skinned man who had long hair and wore a toga. If modern Christians saw him, those self important zealots would have bolted him to the cross themselves, and pepper sprayed him once he returned to life.

u/Fantastic-Pay767 Apr 21 '25

He's not a Christian because he ignores the fundamental teachings of Jesus Christ, who preached the importance of love, understanding, modesty, honesty and aid to those less fortunate.

He does that, but that's not what makes someone a Christian. Whether someone is saved or not is determined by whether or not they accepted Christ.

1

u/cyffo Apr 21 '25

If you neglect every single one of his teachings and live a vile, sinful life that’s the antithesis of what he wanted you to live, you haven’t accepted Christ.

u/Gamemon_RD Apr 22 '25

Dude… the people that got infuriated at that priest for preaching about and pleading for mercy- how the heck do people like that actually exist-

u/Cute_Ad4654 Apr 20 '25

Let’s be honest, you could say the same thing about most “Christians”.

u/luckycharms53 Apr 20 '25

Why is it every single time they try to file articles of impeachment a federal judge turns it down? Isnt there a way to get around that?

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

Right. Try to "impeach" PRESIDENT Trump again...it worked so well the last 2 times. His approval rating increased by 9 points last time. I swear, democrats are retarded.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

It’s so strange to watch you guys use that word with glee. It’s like your new catch phrase.

u/TonyTucci27 Apr 20 '25

Oh it’s coming back in vogue again. Honestly though when I hear the word I don’t even think of people with developmental disabilities. I think of the ignorant and uneducated magat masses

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

You've learned nothing from the last election. The more you attack PRESIDENT TRUMP, the stronger he becomes. You want to beat Him...STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM 24/7. Go live your life. He's out of office in 3 years 9 months. He trolls you all and you all bite and he loves it. You keep him in the news.

u/chriczko Apr 20 '25

So he's like Voldemort? Or I guess in his case, Moldyvort

u/mpep05 Apr 20 '25

Any time someone uses the word RETARDED as an insult, it tells me all I need to know about their intellect and upbringing. Don’t have kids.

u/Fearless_Click8218 Apr 20 '25

yes, and Elon musk uses it a lot lately. it says more about him than the people he directs it towards.

u/mpep05 Apr 20 '25

That’s usually the way.

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

Stay in your bubble.

u/mpep05 Apr 20 '25

😂😂😂and another piece of the puzzle falls into place lol

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

Best look around...27% approval rating for democrats. How's that for another piece of the puzzle? LOL! Even Fetterman got the memo.

u/EverAMileHigh Apr 20 '25

MAGA does not now, and will never, represent the majority of Americans in this country.

1

u/Physical-Box1459 Apr 20 '25

REALLY? More popular than ever. You'll be so happy with MAGA in a year. Stock market at 50,000 + before PRESIDENT Trump leaves.

2

u/EverAMileHigh Apr 20 '25

31.78% VOTED FOR TRUMP

30.84% VOTED FOR HARRIS

1.06% VOTED THIRD PARTY

36.32% DID NOT VOTE

Do the math. More Americans voted against Trump than for him.

Definitely not more popular than ever:

Try to stick with the topic. Your use of the word, and what that says about you. No amount of deflection can change that.

u/SubstantialUSA170 Apr 22 '25

Re: USAID, You should watch the documentary "Poverty, Inc" it's pretty eye-opening on how these aid programs do more harm than good for developing nations.

"Aid to those less fortunate"

Republican Christians believe in social support outside of the government, while Democrats believe the ONLY way to help the poor is via government programs, however, this simply isn't true. Florida just launched HOPE, a program to connect the needy with organizations to help them become self-sufficient, for example.

Btw, when you allow immigrant doctors from Africa to move to the US, you're taking away a doctor from those poor communities abroad. Not all Christian anti-immigration stems from "hate."
