Donald Trump Was Never Our Candidate

[WWJDnow]

More and more, it appears that Joe Biden has an unassailable lead in the 2020 Presidential election, and we must bow to the will of the American people with the Christian grace and humility that we always display here at the Landover Baptist Church.

While we found President Trump's policies usually agreeable--his tax cut and his court nominees were exactly what our country needed--we have always found the man himself to be wanting.

1 Corinthians 9:25 tells us that "every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things" Christian temperance in all things does not mean consorting with (and paying off) pornstars, divorcing twice (so far), lying about your tax returns (and maybe on them), holding the Bible upside down in a photo op, or encouraging your supporters, however well-intentioned they may be, to commit acts of political violence. Donald Trump fell far short of the mark in these matters.

So yes, we voted for him, but it was a hold-your-nose kind of vote, where the choice was between a deeply flawed Donald Trump and a Joe Biden who will encourage the baby killers at abortion clinics. We all lament the fact that we didn't have a decent Christian like Sen. Rick Santorum or Sen. James Inhoff carrying our banner. We all wonder whether Joe Biden has what it takes to lead our nation through a pandemic of Bibilical proportions. But we are confident that we will make it through because we have faith and we can pray.

Finally, Donald Trump has one more attribute that we dislike. Trump is a loser, and we don't like losers. Like Jesus, we like people who win!

Wait, wait, wait, WAIT!!!!!
Are you telling me we're supposed to like Biden now???? But he didn't win properly, he cheated making all these people vote for him!

No no no no no no no. Of course not.

I think what Brother Dnow is trying to say is that now is the time to end partisan fighting. Now is the time to honor our traditions and values, to reach across the aisle and compromise. Reign in the deficit for a start. The most serious threat in the country is high taxes. Medicare needs to be curtailed. Democrats need to drop their hard left posturing and come to the table.

That's right. If the Democrat party is willing to meet us 90% of the way, I say we should walk that other 10% and work with them. If the Democrats want to keep Medicare, fine--give us prayer in schools in exchange.

Of course, that doesn't mean we should enable their radical leftist agenda, such as healthcare for everyone, mask mandates, tax increases on wealthy job creators, background checks for purchases of assault rifles, or interracial marriage. These are things Jesus would never approve.

You make good points here, Brother Dnow, but I think some professional analysis is needed before we move on. Why did Donald Trump lose??

First, let's consider Melania. Donald had a DNA test done on Barron. This hints that Melania was perhaps a "problem" for Donald and distracted him from the campaign.

Second, there is the Jewish branch, Ivanka and Jarrod. How many Christians cannot vote for a family responsible for killing Jesus.

Third, there is you Barron himself. There have been numerous news stories saying he is interested in socialism and that he prefers the gender neutral pronoun "they" to he or she. Even though he is but a teenager these are attitudes that may have turned the corner for Biden.

As a full time professional politician I think we need to ponder the things that brought our Godly President down.

Re: Donald Trump Was Never Our Candidate

Apparently, Trump's (public) spiritual advisor, Paula White, has been televised speaking in tongues.

Now, I understand that I can't fully fathom Pastor Zeke's choice to keep his association with Mr. Trump in the background, but White is merely a woman, after all. What with that deficiency, the speaking in tongues issue just highlights why we need to heed the words of the Apostle Paul.


Women are not meant to teach men or counsel them in spiritual matters. Paula White's presence in Donald Trump's circle of associates put his candidacy in the question mark category.


And you may mark my words as a True Christian™ Lady. Trump and his people should not have listened to the advice of a woman.

Is this the young lady you're talking about?

I don't understand, Sister Handmaiden. What association with Mr Trump? I don't recall that ever happening.

Indeed. Pastor Ezekiel barely knew the President, and just offered guidance on an occasional issue of importance to the Landover Baptist Church, such as tax administrative matters.

Re: Donald Trump Was Never Our Candidate

I must admit, I've sometimes questioned Landover's commitment to the Republican Party, given their occasional straying from a hardline Christian Dominionist platform. True Christian men like Pat Robertson, Pat Buchanan, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Ted Cruz have, with the exception of Reagan and GWB, have consistently failed to be granted GOP presidential nominations. The fact that the Republican Party was the second to field an NON-CHRISTIAN HEATHEN for president (Romney) should give any true conservative pause. Should we all have voted for Don Blankenship instead of Trump?

What would a True Christian presidential cabinet look like? I can't see anyone but David Duke as Secretary of State. Grover Norquist, of course, would head the Treasury Department. Who else? Bo Gritz as Secretary of Defense? Ted Nugent as Secretary of the Interior? Nobody as Secretary of Labor, because that's obviously communist and should be abolished? Pastor Ezekiel Flint as Secretary of Faith, no debate there. I'm getting lightheaded just thinking about it!

Unfortunately things like this happens when your leader is not a Catholic. A good example of an almost-perfect Catholic leader would be Charlemagne, who didn't esitated to punish 4500 Brits when they went back to worship a tree. Too bad that he also allowed Joos to stay in Europe without accepting Christ. Anyway, Trump may have done some good things for America (and a fewer ones for the rest of the West) but still, being a Presbyterian is the first step in the staircase to Hell. At least he was still able to keep his presidency more than Salvini's seat in the Italian government.

I don't believe he's ever specified exactly which denomination he pays lip service to for the cameras, but I'd put money on him "being" a Methodist, not Presbyterian.

It's easier to spell.

A couple of weeks back he very specifically failed to specify by identifying as non-denominational. He did so in a written statement, though I expect a secretary typed it out for him. He was a busy man back then.

As the Republican Party does its post-mortem, no doubt they will conclude that we need a candidate who better reflects True Christian™ family values and tax policy. Pastor Ezekiel Flint is my choice for 2024. Of course, it would be a great loss to our church, but sometimes we must make sacrifices for the greater good.

That is the kind of cabinet I could rally behind! Rudy Giuliani, of course, deserves immediate consideration for Attorney General, and Joe Arpaio would make an excellent FBI director. And might I add Dennis Lukes as Secretary of Commerce? Who else, other than Donald Trump himself, has such well-respected business acumen?

At least he was still able to keep his presidency more than Salvini's seat in the Italian government.

Salvini? Isn't that one of the priests Pope Benedict used to bugger? There are so many that I lose track.

[Dennis Lukes]

Re: Donald Trump Was Never Our Candidate

Rudy Giuliani, of course, deserves immediate consideration for Attorney General,

Sorry Brother Dnow, but that's EXACTLY the kind of RINO/deep-cover liberal that needs to be cast out. Rudy is a Catholic baby-killer and a drag queen. If you're not a man who follows the Bible, you should have no role in shaping policy. Our goal should be to throw out the Con-stitution and replace it with the KJV 1611 Holy Bible, and according to the Bible Rudy is an ABOMINATION (Deuteronomy 22:5). I had Roy Moore in mind for Attorney General.

and Joe Arpaio would make an excellent FBI director.

Or Secretary of Homeland Security. Other possibilities include Alex Jones as Press Secretary, Andrew Schlafly as Secretary of Education, Jim Bob Duggar as Secretary of Health and Human Services, G. Gordon Liddy as National Security Advisor, Rush Limbaugh as Ambassador to Thailand, Ron Paul as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, James Manning as Director of the Bureau of Negro Affairs, Charles Koch as Head of the EPA, and maybe as a gesture of Christian compassion we could throw Obama a bone as US Ambassador to Antarctica.

and might I add Dennis Lukes as Secretary of Commerce? Who else, other than Donald Trump himself, has such well-respected business acumen?

You flatter me! I'm merely the humble proprietor of Nebraska's most successful Christian-themed motel. There are so many executives on Wall Street (even once you weed out the Jews) who would know much more about abolishing regulation than I do.



This is the country that Jesus wants America to be.
