What Legacy Does Trump Leave?

[Jaebius]

Trump establishes a new task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias and then establishes a White House faith office led by the woman who is his most trusted religious advisor:
"Trump also announced the creation of a White House faith office led by Paula White-Cain, a longtime pastor in the independent charismatic world. An early supporter of Trump’s 2016 presidency bid, she led Trump’s Faith and Opportunity Initiative in 2019, advising faith-based organizations on ways to partner with the federal government. At Thursday’s prayer breakfast, she praised Trump as “the greatest champion” any president has been “of religion, of faith and of God.” "She’s the religious adviser “that he appears to trust the most,” said Matthew Taylor."

We'll see what their recommendations are.

Their recommendations will be interesting to be sure. As you probably know, White-Cain's faced significant criticism in the past.

She's associated with what's called the "health and wealth gospel," which teaches that faith must lead to material wealth and personal well-being. Orthodox Christian leaders have, of course, labeled this belief as heretical.

Add to that, she's made some pretty controversial statements, such as suggesting that Trump's opponents operate in sorcery and witchcraft.

And she has used her position as Trump's spiritual advisor to promote and sell her religious products, which is pretty inappropriate for someone in that role

I dream of a United States where one day, a Christian might rise to the highest office in the land...for the 48th time in a row.

This is like the NBA saying they're gonna stop discriminating against tall people.

LOL, you just committed the fallacy of weak analogy.
First. thare are 5 positions in basketball. The point guard position calls for speed, quickness, agility, and good passing skills.
So the best point guards are almost always a lot shorter than the front line.
The proper analogy is the claim that the NBA discriminates against players who use steroids. Yes, steroids can enhance physical performance, but they are iilegal for obvious long-term health reasons.
Similarly, trans athletes are stronger than women and have a biology that gives them an unfair advantage. That's why most female athletes oppose Trans athletes competing in women's sports and it's why the NCAA implemented Trump's ban when they might have resisted.
Trans athletes are welcome to compete in men's sports, if they have the talent.

Well their behaviour speaks volumes. The president's in particular.

Name one way he demonstrates the teachings of Jesus.

Those individual acts of generosity don’t make up for the damage and disadvantage he’s creating. Those individual acts - for a “really successful businessman” - while they could be genuine, are probably more for show. As a rich man, and as POTUS he can do both. He can make and/ or continue policies that support marginalized people in his duty to the people as president, and he can show personal generosity toward a few individuals. If he could do that, he would get more respect where it’s due.

Your bigotry is breath-taking: the examples of compassion offered were quiet and came to light from the testimonies of the beneficiaries-- and prior to his running for office.

 

[Northwind]

They're VERY quiet acts of kindness.

How about his well documented narcissism, greed, predatory behaviour, sexual assaults, infidelity.........

Your bigotry is breath-taking:...

Bigotry against... a wealthy white man?

the examples of compassion offered were quiet and came to light from the testimonies of the beneficiaries-- and prior to his running for office.

Which you must know begs the question - what have his quiet acts of compassion been after his running for office?

 

[Redbaron]

I've seen that same list a number of times. Are those the only three nice things he's ever done?

These anti-Trump posts are an eloquent example of how wokers embrace cancel culture--an example of why American voters who elected Trump loathe the woke mindset of ascribing unworthy motives to those they despise. Here are more testimonies to Trump's kindness:

In 2007, Wesley Autrey, a construction worker and Navy veteran from New York City, found himself at a subway train platform with his two young daughters. It was there that he witnessed a terrifying incident: a 20-year-old film student suddenly suffered a seizure and fell onto the subway tracks...

I believe we are all a workin progress and I prefer Paul's wonderful priority in focusing on positive aspects of another's character:

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things (Philippians 4:8).

Which of these acts of Trump do you feel speak to his being kind:
• His pardoning the January 6th rioters
• His rolling back transgender protections
• His sudden withdrawal from international agreements

Which of these acts of Trump do you feel speak to his being kind:
• His pardoning the January 6th rioters

The guilty members of the Biden ccrime family were all pardoned by their godfather.
And many of the rioters acted from qa sincere belief that the e lection was rigged.

• His rolling back transgender protections

Trump did this for the higher priority of protecting justice for women.

• His sudden withdrawal from international agreements

He withdrew from international agreements that were harmful to US interests.
Given his reasoning, all 3 actions can be viewed as kind applications of his sincere principles, right or wrong.
Your whataboutism is a ploy to shun your Christian duty not to judge other people's motives and to focus on the positive aspects of their character.
And you will say just about anything to avoid crediting hIs many kind and gernerous acts. J don't assassinate another man's character simply because I disagree with some of his positions; I look for evidence of kindness and generosity in his character as well.

Trump did this for the higher priority of protecting justice for women.

There is no evidence that he cares about the well-being of women.

Oh really. See Matthew 7:16-20. We're absolutely supposed to judge people's actions and know who people are based on those actions

Judge their actions, NOT their motives. You are not God.

We shall known them, Jesus says, by what they do. You certainly seem fine with you yourself judging motives
