And this attitude is the cause of countless deaths in Africa due to the Aids epidemic.

If you teach people that sex is bad, at least also tell them to at least use contraceptives when having sex.
Even with contraceptions, Africa is problematic. Though I don't know how you will convince them to avoid reproduction

Not an argument. "Go get up and do something about it" like what?

Whatever it takes to slow or stop the genocide you allege is taking place. Abortions cannot take place if the clinic has no electricity, running water or is otherwise disabled.

It's weird right? When terrorists on the other side of the planet threaten us then it's no problem to use violent means to stop them but when the "terrorists" are in your own country and are killing countless on a daily basis then "you can't do anything".

Is being a Christian a requirement for being United States president?

No. But a person ought to be what they claim to be. False claiming shouldn't be a vote-getting tactic because then people might think our politicians lie. Wouldn't want that. ^_^

"As Politico reports, this head-slapper came from "Trumped!" a 1991 memoir published by John R. O'Donnell, the former president of Trump Hotel & Casino.

“I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it,” O'Donnell wrote of that notorious conversation. “The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.”

According to O'Donnell, Trump went on to argue that "Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”

As Politico further notes, Trump told Playboy in 1999 that "[t]he stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a f—-g loser. A f—-g loser. I brought the guy in to work for me; it turns out he didn’t know that much about what he was doing. I think I met the guy two or three times total. And this guy goes off and writes a book about me, like he knows me!”

Break down for me the part that's "evil" as in monstrous and wickedly mass-murder-y or the equivalent (blood-thirsty), including any "body counts" of human beings dying or being killed in cold blood. Does this include his standing for and defending the "least of these"? Is that evil?

Thank you.

Lack of access to contraception is the biggest contributor to abortions carried out, illicit or otherwise. Organizations like Planned Parenthood provide would-be mothers access to contraception. Trump is against such organizations — in fact, he’s rallied on the idea of shutting it down completely. Therefore, a vote for Trump is a vote for more abortions. It’s not necessarily because he’s evil or monstrous. He’s just an idiot, or at least thinks you are. Don’t prove him right. Don’t vote for him.

No, it includes his opposition against and attacks against the least of these. And yeah, that's evil.

the least of these
I was referring to the "least of these" as those unable to speak out for, or defend themselves, and the shedding of their innocent blood.

To shed the blood of the "least of these" is "evil" (wickedness). It is akin to being "blood-thirsty". Evil denotes an antipathy and/or aversion to "life".

(You posted that Trump is "evil". I have been asking you to elaborate on what evil you are referring to, thus my posts.)

However, it is a gross distortion of the facts to imply that President Trump is opposed to taxpayers financing a private concern such as Planned Parenthood for the reason mentioned in this ^ post.

And I was speaking of the "least of these" which Jesus spoke of, namely the hungry, the thirsty, the immigrant, the naked, the sick, and those in prison. For whatever is done to them is done to Him.

To despise our fellow man, created in the image of God, is evil. And I have provided the evidence you asked for when you asked if there was anything to show that Donald Trump is evil. Now what you do with that information is up to you.

"And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
" - James 2:6-18

"For there is no truth in their mouth;
their inmost self is destruction;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongue.
" - Psalm 5:9
