We have an idiotic and unnecessary trade-war, a slew of abrogated treaties, a stagnant stock market, rampant attempt to politicize the Fed, and an international embarrassment with American immigration "policy". And maybe an impending war with Iran.

Yeah, progress....

“Christian” does not equate to the religious right. Quite the opposite.

SEARS?! OK. If that is your measure and you simply cannot see how the economy is booming, then you will simply have to vote for Bernie.
It's your only hope.

Many did but the vocal religious right did not.

Sears is just for starters. Go to America's small cities and you'll see how downtown isn't booming. Even the strip malls have vacancies. This wasn't going on as bad while Obama was president. People can blame the sad situation on Amazon and other online merchants, if they want. Don't forget that Trump's tariffs aren't helping matters at all.

Donald Trump is a sinner just like every other single person on the face of the earth today. Nobody's perfect. Everyone has a scandal if you dig deep enough. Trump's are highlighted. Obama's were minimized. But they both have scandals. Both of them have also done some good things. Neither one of them is good enough for heaven on their own merits.

Nobody is tricking me. I don't believe Trump is a Christian. I wouldn't ask him to babysit my kids. But the policies are what affect me and my family. Sorry, from a policy perspective, it's a no brainer to me what side is better for Christianity.
If we juxtapose the liberal media caricature of Trump with liberal exegeses of Christianity, he's definitely not a Christian.
However, MSM credibility is a shipwreck and the latter can usually be disproven by anyone with a grounding in hermeneutics.

Most people, unfortunately, don't have middle knowledge of a man's disposition, otherwise answering the question would be easy. The best they can do is to evaluate him by his actions unfiltered by partisan social engineering (and their own preconceptions).

I admit that I don't know Trump's status as a Christian or not - I'm just going on what I see (like you said). But he is exposed to situations and people where Christ is present and hopefully it has a positive effect on him - with the ultimate good being that he comes to know Christ.

Every brain cell in a liberal's body is infested by hypocrisy. I wish you liberals would get off with this crap, you're fooling no one except yourselves.

Oh yeah use Sears as an example of the economy not booming but no mention that Toys 'R Us is rising from the dead.
