Trump is asked, "how has your faith grown since you decided in 2015 to run for president?"

[stevil]

You can't talk about what you don't have.

Trump is like a certain kind of nominal Episcopalian or Presbyterian that uses the Church to wrap themselves in respectability, but inwardly they do not even pretend to follow Christ.

Well, actually, Trump is an atheist. Through and through. Religious faith has nothing to do with his worldview. His faith hasn't grown, because he has no religious faith.
But as he says. He knows some people who are Christians. So there's that.

 

[stevil]

He doesn't appear to be anti-faith, given his words and actions, and that's about the best we have had in government recently.

LOL, he knows who his target audience is, the base that he is appealing to for votes. He is trying to please them. Like shaking people's hands and kissing babies. Nothing wrong with this of course, but let's just call it what it is.

Reminder of the question, " how has your faith grown....
I'm actually proud of him. He skirted the question because it is obvious that faith is really not in his wheelhouse. He spared us a lie. Good for him.

That was satire? I can't tell these days...

I believe this is referred to as a “backhanded compliment”.

 

[Bradskii]

I don't get it.

'Your son refuses to acknowledge that he's cheating on me'.
'I'm so proud of him that he didn't lie to you. Good for him'.

'Your son refuses to acknowledge that he's cheating on me'.

Some will see the cloud, some will focus on the silver lining.

Numerous contractors who had worked for Trump's various enterprises over the years--who did the work and were left hanging for payment--were sounding that alarm before he was elected president.

His father was a slumlord in New York, that's where Trump got his instincts for business. These kinds of folks are always shifty, but usually cloak themselves in social prestige and have their tendrils in various social connections. New York in the early 80's was also desperate for investment.

 

[Say it aint so]

Look who is in office now. And who was in before Trump. Really, you got no leg to stand on here.

Really?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump cheat on his wife with a adult movie actress while the wife at home with the newborn?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump say it's fine and dandy to refer to their daughter as a "hot piece of ____" ?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump say he grabs women by their vaginas?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump at the birth of his daughter muse about how big her breasts may be?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump refer to their daughter as "voluptuous"?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump back from Russia, tell friends they need to go because the women there have no morals?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump look at a ten year old girl, and comment he will be dating her in ten years?
Did the guy in office or the one before Trump brag about being able to walk into beauty pageant dressing rooms unannounced?

Come morals or lack there of, that is literally the guy you are defending.

In order for my tomato plant to grow, I have to actually have a tomato plant.
Unfortunately he is lying to those of faith for the sake of his political well being.

No, currently - much more importantly, as THIS current guy currently has the nuclear codes (not a former one)- there is a different list, involving increasing cognitive difficulties displayed on the national stage before our enemies, payment schemes by foreign governments to the big guy, IRS records of millions of dollars flowing in to 9 Biden members, getting way too close and touchy with other people's children, and much more of national importance.

 

[RestoreTheJoy]

Devil = accuser/slanderer. Can we at least try not to promote the spirit of the slanderer?

I'm actually refuting the slanderer here, in this post opining that Trump is pretending to have faith, and pointing out the abject hypocrisy of only noting one leader's foibles while pretending the other doesn't have worse, more dangerous ones.

Are you sure Trump didn't take the codes with him to Mar a largo? And if you have factual evidence of paying off schemes to Joe Biden, here is James Comer's phone number (202) 225-3115. He would love to hear from you.

What I laid out were facts about Trump's lack of morals. The man is a total waste of skin.

Heh, sure we can pretend they didn't change the codes when a new president took office, but I think that is a ridiculous idea to assert.

I haven't been called to testify before Congress as I am not in that circle and have no first hand evidence or records. Those who are and do have such records have testified and continue to testify. Anyone ignoring the evidence pouring out just doesn't want to know.

Obviously my nuke code comment was tongue in cheek, but if Trump could have taken them, he probably would have so he can show them off to Mar a largo quests like a pair of Shaq's sneakers. Who testified to Biden being paid off? No one has. As you acknowledge, you have no knowledge and are just "sayin stuff".

Okay, I appreciate your response in opposition to slander, apart from any assertions you have added. The point is we must base judgments on observable facts and not prejudice, bias, or speculation. Can we agree that according to Trump's words, Trump believes he made America great as President?

God's people don't try to turn people against each other. God's people don't don't lie for months about a stolen election. God's people don't do what he caused on January 6th.

More speculation about Trump "would have done". I am clearly not the one here without knowledge who is just opining random things.

By contrast, millions have come in to numerous Biden family members (9, as I recall) and the records reflect that. Even Politifact admits it, but claims "President Biden didn't know". I know when multiple members of MY family suddenly come into millions of dollars, I don't notice at all. (sarcasm).

"The available information does not prove Biden himself knew about his family members’ business deals or benefited from the payments.

The released bank records show that businesses connected to the Biden family received more than $10 million from foreign companies, both during and after President Joe Biden’s vice presidency. Republicans have been investigating the Biden family’s business dealings for evidence of wrongdoing or conflicts of interest. "

Claims about the Biden family’s foreign business, explained

I think he thinks he was a part of it, but he generally says "WE" did or will do something. Just speculation, but though he is a blowhard with his language, I don't actually believe that he believes he did anything alone.

As a President, I'm pretty sure he isn't claiming he did anything alone. That's not the issue, so the question remains unanswered: Can we agree that according to Trump's words, Trump believes he made America great as President? Did Trump believe this or not?...."I am so happy I did it because I've made America great".
