[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 77401213, member: 21246"] Interesting! On a visit to Madam Tussauds in London I was made aware that Trump was roughly the same height as me and later I found out he was the same weight. But I am much slimmer than him in the photos. It makes me conclude that he is all fat and I am more muscle since muscle weighs three times as much as fat and does not need to flesh out as much as Trump's belly etc. Regarding Trump's Christianity, he did appoint judges, who are also very pro-guns, that called Roe v Wade into question, but his lifestyle and his marital history do seem to conflict with the view that he is a practicing Christian. He stands up for Christian freedoms and waves Bibles at people. Only God can judge whether he is actually a Christian. His most concerning comment was when he suggested he had never asked for [URL='https://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/18/politics/trump-has-never-sought-forgiveness/index.html']forgiveness[/URL] and also his in-practice [URL='https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-secretly-mocks-his-christian-supporters/616522/']cynicism about Christians[/URL]. He seems to connect with the business side of the church quite intuitively and prosperity-gospel-type Christian leaders. The notion of churches as corporate enterprises is a very American thing but deeply disturbing from a global-historical Christian perspective. His policies favor the rich and winners and lack compassion or a real sense of justice, truth and righteousness. Trump's intelligence is somewhat of a personal obsession though he does not submit to external examination of IQ scores and asserts his superior intellect more than he proves it. His IQ is probably in the top quartal of American presidents but that is just best-guessing consensus. There is a disconnect between IQ, EQ and wisdom.
