No, why would Jesus care about his olive-colored skin? However, certain people may treat him different because of it.

Default Trump supporters .... Who Would Jesus Vote For?

He'd vote for two Corinthians, no doubt.

He and The Donald agree.

I simply asked how those who are supporting trump and who are Christian reconcile their Christian values with a man like trump.

I said nothing that indicated that i thought that being Christian or not is relevant to the choosing of a president.

And my question is not about the candidates and to the degree to which they understand (as i do) the importance of separation of church and state.
With that clarification the choice is easy. Put the good of the country and it's people first like Trump does. If you want to elect someone based on personality, skin color, vote where you can do it best. Like Dancing with the Stars and the Oscars.

That must by why Pope Francis' positions are suspiciously similar to that of the Democratic platform in many respects.

Since trump's god is himself, I think the answer to that is yes. Unless he foolishly didn't bother to register to vote.

We are all (with few exceptions), to varying degrees, enslaved by the almighty dollar.
That is not a disease that afflicts only a few or only one political party although who do you think those benefitting from the huge profits of big pharma, big ag and the fossil fuel industry want as president?
Certainly not Bernie Sanders who is far, far to the left. A true humanitarian.

Why? What has skin color have to do with anything.? Only the left keeps skin color a reason to divide. If they categorized eye color I am sure many people would become bias. The left loves to pit one another against one another in regards to their differences. They keep in power that way.

I'm truly interested because i don't understand.
I'm not asking as a Christian. I'm asking as someone who is baffled by this phenomena and though i don't know how many trump supporters consider themselves to be Christian, i assume there are many who do.
It appears that trump followers actually are more concerned about perceived unfairness towards themselves in terms of immigration and the economy/jobs, than they are concerned with behavior unbecoming of a christian.

The 'christian' part of their lives is taking a back seat to those other things. Perhaps they will regret that later, or perhaps not.

Ah, a classic psychological projection!

"Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unpleasant impulses by denying their existence while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude."
