7. Trump is proving himself to be anti-Christian.

Wed Jan 22, 2025, 09:10 AM

Jan 22

I think he actually hates real Christians. The ones who follow the teachings of Jesus. Trump is the descendent of the Philistines who called for Jesus to be murdered in the name of protecting The People.

First, he didn't even try to pretend when he didn't even hover his hand over The Bible when he took his Oath of Office. His hand, wrist, and arm were hanging down by his side. Hey Donald! Did Satan tell you to do that?

Then he scowled at Rev Mariann Budde during her entreaties from The Pulpit. After the church service, he insulted her. Didn't say he didn't agree with everything. He denounced her and her brand of Christianity and the social justice that goes with it.

And overnight, Trump didn't hold back on his animosity and hatred towards Rev Budde. He hates her courage and integrity. If he could send some newly-released Proud Boys to visit her, he would.

Not only does this reveal Trump's false character as the "Defender of the Faith," but it also shows the religious hypocrisy of the power-hungry evangelical Christians. Namely Franklin Graham.
