By Their Fruits

Matthew 7:16-20 said:
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

What does it say about someone when every word out of their mouth is either braggadocio, a lie, or some combination of both?

What does it say about someone when they claim to be a big, strong manly man, and yet take every opportunity to take to Twitter to whine about all the ways that things are "unfair" to them?

What does it say when someone claims to be an upstanding Christian and yet can't even pronounce the names of Bible books correctly, or cages children in the name of "national security"?

What does it say when a person claims to be a great admirer of women, and yet is a thrice-divorced, genital grabbing boor?

What does it say when a person claims to be a great admirer and protector of the laws of the land - and as a matter of fact, took an oath to protect them. And yet, at every opportunity, shows nothing but contempt for the rule of law, the Constitution, and oversight?

What does it say when a person can dish it out - to women, to minorities, to the handicapped, to opponents - and yet is incredibly thin-skinned when even the tamest of criticism is aimed at them?

What does it say when, contrary to Bible verses instructing us to be kind to "aliens among us" and the poor, gives tax cuts to billionaires and separates young migrant children from their parents?

And finally, what does it say about the people who call themselves Christians and continue to support such a man?
