Codified by Pope Gregory the 1st in 600 AD, here is a list of the seven deadly sins that we all know and love. Pride, sloth, gluttony, wrath, lust, envy and greed.Donald Trumpseems to be the embodiment of all of them.
Sloth? It is said that he starts work at 11am and finishes at 6pm uniformly. As the President of the United States, that’s pushing it. Envy? This is a man wholooks at the likes of Vladimir Putinand Kim Jong Un and wants everything they have. Lust? Five children from three marriages (that we know of) and affairs coming out by the day, you join the dots. Gluttony? How’s that McDonald’s diet treating you, Donny-boy? Wrath? I mean… have you seen the news recently? Greed? Lol.

Bruce Springsteen attacks “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous” Donald Trump regime at Manchester show
It is plainly obvious to anyone with a brain stem that Donald Trump has all the Christian convictions of Ed Gein. He covets money. He’s made a mockery of every marriage he’s ever been in. He’s a bully who takes every imagined slight as justification for violent retribution. He sees anyone who isn’t as rich as he is as beneath him, and all that is just the stuff that we can prove. The Epstein files allege that he indulged in behaviour that should, by rights, set aside a special place in hell for him.
He is everything that a Christian conservative should hate. A shady New York businessman who slathers himself in make up everyday. Who has never worked an honest day in his life? A draft dodger who spent years making snide comments about American’s beloved troops. Whose most famous picture with a bible is him literally holding it upside down. There are literal Satanists with more Christian spirit than he, and yet, who make up the majority of his voting base?
You’ve got it in one, Christian conservatives, the more evangelical the better.

So, why do Christians love Donald Trump?
It seems that every few months or so, you get a new photo of Trump in the Oval Office surrounded by pastors all pawing at him as he has with so many Miss Universe contestants. Eyes closed, and brows furrowed in prayer that Trump probably thinks is completely pointless. Evangelical preachers and high-profile Christian figures have been tripping over themselves to talk about Trump in terms that paint him as not so much a president or a political figure, but as a figure appointed by God.
In fairness, there are a few people who talk about Trump in a way that reflects how nakedly un-Christian he’d been his entire life. That he was a sinner who had been appointed by God to carry out a mission in His name, Cyrus the Great style. If that is the case, then he couldn’t have found a better candidate for a sinner, I guess. After all, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”, right? At least, that’s the argument that preacher Franklin Graham reached for when talking about Trump’s past sins.
Honestly? I don’t think it’s that deep. Trump is a man available to the highest bidder. Neither he nor anyone else in the GOP has much in the way of convictions; give them money, and they’ll do tricks for you. In America, the Church is an incredibly wealthy institution. They pay to get people in positions of power and authority within the American government, and in return, they’ll tell their captive audience to vote red whenever they can.
It’s a transaction that I’m sure the actual Jesus Christ would have been apoplectic about, but why does a conservative Christian care about what that woke, commie libtard would think?
