Trump in 2016:

She shouldn't be allowed to run.
If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis.
In that situation we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.
It would grind the government to a halt.

There's a lot of biblical-themed Trump pictures in your post history. Didn't that dude cheat on his third wife with a porn star? What would Jesus say about that?

The last few years have really reinforced my feeling that a lot of so-called Christians don't actually read the Bible, but just assume it backs up all of their other backwards beliefs.

You have that feeling because you haven't actually read the Bible. The historical books of the Old Testament, Joshua through Nehemiah, are full of stories of God using wicked and evil men to accomplish good things. For example, King Jehu, who reigned in the 9th century BCE, is an example of God using a wicked man for a good end. Anointed by a prophet sent by Elisha, Jehu was tasked with eradicating the idolatrous house of Ahab. He killed King Joram, Queen Jezebel, and all of Ahab's descendants, fulfilling Elijah's prophecy and eliminating Baal worship in Israel by deceiving and slaughtering Baal's prophets. Despite his zeal, Jehu continued in idolatry by maintaining the worship of golden calves, illustrating how God used his ruthless actions to achieve reform despite Jehu's own moral failings.

Genocide is a good deed now? How curious.
