  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"Donald Trump claims he loves America, but does he really? "
-Will Saletan of the Bulwark.

Saletan highlights Trump's pattern of praising our enemies (China, Russia, N Korea) while trashing our own country. He makes the point quite effectively using video clips from recent Trump interviews and rally speeches. Trump even suggested that if he were to lose, Trump supporters would have to travel to Venezuela to speak freely.....

LOL.

Trump is a lot of things. He is a wicked man. But I cannot be convinced that he does not love America. That is absurd.
I know Trump likes suckers, so...

It's just propaganda. It's like drawing a picture of a man with a big nose and wringing his hands with a pile of money as if to demonstrate that the Jews are evil. It's like any caricature of any politician, just more sophisticated. People will say anything to demonize their political opponents.

I know several native New Yorkers who would disagree that it is propaganda. And given his actions, I agree with them.

And I am sure that these same people believe that Kamala loves America much more than Trump does.

His repeated comments suggest he does not love American democracy. Listen to his voice of admiration when he speaks of the leaders from China, N. Korea and Russia.

Most people do. I suspect you love America more than Trump, as do most or all of the American posters on this thread.

I don't believe he is capable of love of anything other than himself.
He loves the power he had as president, but that is different from loving America.

He got shot in the head for this country. I'd say that should count for something.

No he didn’t. He got shot in the head because somebody took a crack at him. He wasn’t out there deliberately risking his life.

It's a pretty dumb question, IMO.
Why else would anyone subject himself to the continual flood of crap he has endured over the past nine years? He has lost millions, been betrayed, and even shot. Is he doing this for fun?
One of the proofs we use for the gospel is the lives and deaths of the disciples who died rather than deny it. Why would they endure persecution and even death if they knew the resurrection was a lie? They would not.

Money, power, prestige. Why does anybody subject themselves to it?


He has lost millions,


No, he hasn’t. His Truth Social stock alone is worth over $2 billion, which he only has because he was president. When the odds of him being reelected were much higher, his stock was worth 3x that.

been betrayed, and even shot. Is he doing this for fun?

No, he’s doing it for ego.

That’s a ridiculous proof - even by your own logic, all it “proves” is that they believed something, not that it was actually true.

That’s not accounting for DJT stock.
