Donald J. Trump is the duly elected President of the
United States. “Duly elected” means that
he holds the office of President legally following an election that was
conducted according to the provisions of the United States’ Constitution.
President Trump’s opponents in both major parties should
stop trying to remove him from office by “trumping up” phony charges about the
2016 campaign. To date, after extensive
investigation, no evidence has been presented which establishes that President Trump,
or others acting on his behalf, had a quid pro quo arrangement that promised
anything in return for Russian interference that may have benefited President
Trump in the election.
Furthermore, the President’s unfortunate history of
philandering was well known prior to the election, and he was elected
anyway. Therefore, it is dishonest to
try to use law suits to entrap him into perjury with trick questions about his
past extramarital affairs. Don’t tell me
the accusers have not been “encouraged” to pursue their cases.
So, let’s please move on and get the
peoples’ business done.
I did not vote for President Trump. I wrote in for Ted Cruz. I felt that, as a Christian I could not vote
for President Trump, due to his history of misogyny and lack of moral character. I was also concerned that he would not stand
his ground on issues like the peoples’ right to keep and bear arms or the right
to life, if things got tough.
However, I support what he is doing to help Americans
have safer and more prosperous lives. I
believe that, as a Christian, I owe allegiance and cooperation to governmental
authorities as long as they do not tell me to violate God’s commandments, or
make me complicit in such violation. It
does not cause me a conflict of conscience to support the President’s policies
if I agree that they are good for the American people; even if he is a swine
with women. I am sure that liberals had
to make similar choices regarding (former) President Bill Clinton.
To be honest, I am very pleased with what President Trump
has done (as President), so far. If an
election were held tomorrow, I might vote for him. I want the things he wants for the country.
The same cannot be said for our Senators and
Congressmen. I want a Republican voting
majority in both houses of congress. I
will never vote for a Democrat; ever again.
However, in the Republican primary, I will not vote for
the incumbent Republican candidate; if a choice is offered. I am going to step down from the podium for a
moment to say plainly that I have never seen such a sorry bunch of incompetents
as the current crop of Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate. I would only vote for them if they make it to
the ballot in the 2018 general election.
When I was in the Army, they taught us: “If you can’t
respect the man, respect the rank.” I
respect what President Trump has accomplished, and I respect his
abilities. I have enough sins in my own
past to avoid passing judgement on the President. However, he has not demonstrated the kind of moral
character that earns my respect. Please pray
for the First Lady. Melania Trump has
shown a lot of class in the face of what must be overwhelming humiliation. She is a better wife than her husband
deserves.
Politically, I consider myself to be a Christian
conservative. Every American must make
up their own mind whether to support President Trump; including my fellow
Christians. I am not setting myself up
as a model for others, but I support President Trump because I agree with his
vision for America.
