Donald Trump's Questionable Claim to Christianity

1123 Words3 Pages

Donald Trump’s hypocritical claim to be a Christian is conspicuous as he holds up Grandma’s bible and mispronounces 2 Corinthians, etc., as if to make a joke of the whole thing. When 60 minutes first interviewed with Donald Trump and his new running mate, Mike Pence, interviewer Leslie Stahl contrasted the difference between the two, saying Trump was brash and Pence was quiet and religious. Trump butted in, “Oh, I’m religious.” The proof he offered? “Well, I won the evangelicals.” Trump said.

Donald’s antichristian character is mockery of God. Unless directly asked about it, Trump never invokes the name of God. While he will occasionally close a speech with, “God bless you,” most often, he will not. I do not recall Tump ever saying the name, Jesus Christ. If a prayer or a moment of silence is observed, he never bows his head. The most classic of video clips showed TBN’s false prophets of the Health and Wealth Gospel gathered around Trump to “lay hands” on him. Trump appeared to want to crawl out of his see-through skin, perhaps yet unaware that many present would become his workers of iniquity. They were anointing the Son of Satan himself.

They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good. The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one. Do all the workers of wickedness not know, who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call upon the Lord? There they are in great dread, For God is with the righteous generation. You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted, But the Lord is his refuge. Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores His captive people, Jacob will rejoice, Israel will be

    The U.S. president is a person deemed to be the most fitting person to lead this country through thick and thin. It’s been such a successful method that it has led to 43 individual men being put in charge of running this country. However, this doesn’t mean that each one has been good or hasn’t had an issue they couldn’t resolve when in office. But no matter what, each one has left a very unique imprint on the history and evolution of this nation. However when two are compared against one another, some rather surprising similarities may be found. Even better, is what happens when two presidents are compared and they are from the same political party but separated by a large numbers of years between them. In doing this, not only do we see the difference between the two but the interesting evolution of political idea in one party.

Donald Trump and King Creon also have a tendency to think of themselves as gods, as if they are ones who can give wisdom to the lesser people below them. They also have similar views on women. For example, in Creon’s case, no woman has any power. In Trump’s case, he tends to degrade woman with his opinions.

  • Donald Trump: The Evolution Of Candidate

    410 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the political cartoon The Evolution of Candidate Donald Trump, many valuable points are brought up. The cartoon represents more a devolution than an evolution, which, in many ways, seems true. When looking at him from one point of view, Trump’s opinions seem primitive, and seem to become even more so as he “evolves”. Above the final image, a small monkey with Trump’s hair, is a black speech bubble asking, “Where is Obama’s birth certificate?” This represents the ways that Trump seemingly tries to bully the other candidates and President Obama himself. During many Candidates Debates, instead of talking about his platform, he brings up negatives of others, often that are not even true, such as that Obama wasn’t American, which forced the White House to release Obama’s birth certificate. Losing his argument, Trump continues to criticize and refuses to believe that it is, in fact, Obama’s actual birth certificate.

    Some people think that if they could only change one aspect of their lives, it would be perfect. They do not realize that anything that is changed could come with unintended consequences. “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs and “The Third Wish” by Joan Aiken both illustrate this theme. They demonstrate this by granting the main character three wishes, but with each wish that is granted, brings undesirable consequences. The main idea of this essay is to compare and contrast “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish.” Although the “The Monkey’s Paw” and “The Third Wish” are both fantasies and have similar themes, they have different main characters, wishes, and resolutions.

    That is a well- known fact. His tenacity and impeccable negotiating skills are by far what has propelled him through various business ventures thus far. Some see this as a plus dealing with foreign leaders, being a general who will stick to his guns, never wavering on his beliefs. A Pitbull in a suit so to speak, who is not going to back down. That whole “You aren’t going to run over US, our president won’t let you” type of mentality provides many of his supporter’s security. Trump holds nothing back. His filter is nonexistent. Spewing venom that most people wouldn’t dare to approach. He is relentless and cunning. Though he has no ideology whatsoever, his fearless doggedness has appealed to many with pent up frustration and anger with no particular place to put it. Except in that little voting booth.
