The real irony of Evangelical support for Trump is that part of it comes from the belief that Trump is somehow protecting the Church or Christianity from persecution.

The truth is that no external persecution has ever weakened the Church. Persecution tends to make it stronger.
What does weaken the Church comes from moral rot and compromise.
In the days of Acts, the government of Rome actually imprisoned and killed Christians. And in spite of that evil, the church grew!

Today, in America, we want somebody to protect us from secular folks not saying “Merry Christmas.”

I don’t think this is what God has in mind.

@charliekirk11 During the first 112 years of the Republican Party’s history, the party was viewed favorably by many blacks who could vote.

Then 1964 happened. And the GOP Presidential nomination was won by a good man (Goldwater) who took a bad position (against the Civil Rights Act).
@charliekirk11 Goldwater was not a racist. He was an ultra-libertarian and didn’t think the government could force private businesses to serve black customers. But for southern segregationists, that was close enough.
@charliekirk11 Black support for the GOP fell from 32% in the 1960 election to 6% in the 1964 election. And in the 54 years since, it has never significantly risen.

Some of those former Democrats who had segregationist views found a new home in the GOP. And then the Southern Strategy happened.

What many of my brothers and sisters in Christ who categorize themselves as “White Evangelical Christians” do not understand about what we’ve gained and lost in the current political environment.

Let’s start out with the gains. And then the losses.
Gained:
- A couple of Justices on the Supreme Court who, we THINK, might one day vote to overturn the dreaded Roe v Wade decision.

- Tax Breaks. Which may or may not benefit us individually, depending on where we live and how much we make.
- Job Gains. While not the greatest number of jobs created during the first 20 months of a Presidential Term (it actually ranks 4th out of the past 7 Presidential terms over the past 30 years), jobs are being created. Good.

I will not call Trump a white supremacist. Instead, I'd like to offer him advice on how to not be accused of it.
#TrumpsAWhiteSupremacist
1) When talking about an event between two groups in which one group is these guys, don't suggest there were good people on both sides.
2) When asked to denounce the support of David Duke, say "yes." Instead of pretending to not know about him (which you do) three times.

2). A meme was flown across Twitter over the past few months, coming to my attention again yesterday. I saved it so I could do this little investigation!
3.) According to this meme:
A. U.S. Immigration passed laws in accordance with the passing of the McCarran Walters Act of 1952., Revised & Re-Affirmed in 1965.

Heaven Obscured
Kneecapped, I’m kneecapped,
Here looking out,
Where few really see me,
Worshipping their doubts.

Just like you all, I have a father and mother,
I’ve been to school, been educated,
Played games with my sisters and brothers,
Yet here in church I feel denigrated!
You stand around with smiles on your frowns,
Grasping the Spirit, claiming God is all around,
The sermon well focused, all about our saviour,
And how you all do so well, loving your neighbour!

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
