Religions are delusions, and basing your political views on religion, means your political views are based on delusions.
But as a Christian to support Trump is crazy. There is no doubt that Jesus would oppose Trump strongly, for his inhumane denial to help the poor and the sick. For instance being against raising minimum wage, and against healthcare for all.
Also Trump is a pathological liar and adulterer, and extremely ego centered and focused on money. All traits that are directly contrary to values the Bible mention are most significant to God.

Nothing screams I love Jesus like wanting to deport people. These morons know nothing about being decent humans.

If there was any chance in hell of me being converted, it most assuredly is not in any path inclusive of trump... Willingly or otherwise....

It's like opposite day. Because of their love of christian tolerance they want to elect a president who preaches intolerance.

Their love of Jesus leads them to bring about the end of days because that means Jesus will be coming around the mountain.

Washington, D.C.

Thank fuck, I was worried there'd be even more of those weirdos out here in the PNW

Woman who was raised Christian and wants people to be accepting of other religions vs someone who never lived as a Christian a single day of their life talking about making America "Christian again".

They don't think trump is Christian.

They think he can push Christianity as a state religion and force everyone to convert so they can win the religion war through forced authoritarianism.

And they're right. He will do that.
