Trump versus the 10 Commandments

Last edited Mon Apr 23, 2018, 10:50 AM - Edit history (2)

This is especially for religious hypocrites who support donald trump, while ignoring his religious hypocrisy:

The Ten Commandments .. a set of rules or laws, God gave to the people of Israel
1 I am the Lord thy God, thou shall not have any gods before me.
2 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything.


prologue: Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness if I am not making mistakes?" Trump
.. July {2015}, Trump said that he has never asked God for forgiveness but that he does take communion, which he described as " -- and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness,
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-forgiveness-god-224068

Uh, repentance is supposed to precede the little cracker, not be a simultaneous 'gift from god'.

False God: 2007, Donald Trump bought a six-foot-tall portrait of himself at a fundraiser auction, and paid with $20,000 from his namesake charity, the Donald J. Trump Foundation. artist Michael Israel the "speed painter" who painted the portrait of Trump painted the piece in just five or six frenetic minutes
he spent $10,000 to buy another portrait of himself in 2014. In that case, Trump paid $10,000 for the portrait. It was later found hanging on the wall of a sports bar at Trump's Doral golf resort.

Who plasters their name in bold gold letters atop his owned or rented buildings?: beneath an oversized gold "TRUMP" sign at 40 Wall Street... it's "now known as the Trump Building. included leaving Trump's name on the buildings.

The Trump Foundation a scheme for siphoning off donations (inter alia) to pay for portraits of himself. The Trump University bilked hundreds of thousands of dollars from hopeful & dopeful 'students'.

“..I have been on their cover 14 or 15 times. I think we have the all-time record in the history of Time magazine

I suppose he might pray for a better sunday golf game before playing 18 holes.

4 You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. {any doubting thomases?}
5 Honor your father and your mother. {sure, if they bequeath you a $million}
6 You shall not murder. But I guess talking about it ok, shooting someone on 5th avenue.

7 You shall not commit adultery. {sex between a married person and someone who is not their spouse}

Trump brazenly took his mistress, Marla Maples, on a family vacation in Aspen along with his wife, Ivana, .. a quote from Maples —“Best sex I ever had!” referring to Donald—while he was still married to Ivana. .. When Trump was dating his one-time mistress, Marla Maples, he famously posed as his own spokesman, “John Miller,” {said} he’d never marry Maples, and that he had “3 other girlfriends” at the time.
“Stormy Daniels” in the adult film industry, and said she had a sexual encounter with Trump at a celebrity golf tournament.. one year after Trump married Melania.
Nineteen women have come forward to accuse Trump of sexual harassment. The public allegations range from the 1980s to 2013, Many of those incidents reportedly happened while Trump was married.

8 You shall not covet your neighbor's house, wife, or property

More for Shore, but >> Access Hollywood Bus tape: In the video, Trump tells Billy Bush about a failed attempt to seduce Nancy O'Dell, who was Bush's co-host at the time of the recording
Trump: I did try and f*** her. She was married.

9 You shall not steal.

At least 60 lawsuits, along with hundreds of liens, judgments, and other government filings reviewed by the USA TODAY NETWORK, document people who have accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work.
Trump’s companies have also been cited for 24 violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act since 2005 for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage,... more than 200 mechanic’s liens — filed by contractors and employees against Trump, his companies or his properties claiming they were owed money for their work — since the 1980s

10 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. Would take a hundred OPs to list half.

trump: And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that {world trade center} building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering." Politifact rated pants on fire

trump: Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my ‘wires tapped’ in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism! https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23/opinion/trumps-lies.html

Trump hasn’t apologized or backtracked on his statements. Instead, when challenged, he offers flimsy explanations and suggests he shouldn’t be held accountable

religious hypocrite alert: Evangelical leader Tony Perkins in an interview said Trump got a "mulligan" on past behavior

narcissist trump won't lower himself to ask for forgiveness, but sure will accept it from 'the' evangelicals: Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness if I am not making mistakes?
Patriotism - the last refuse of a scoundrel.
Forgiveness - the last refuse of a religious scoundrel.

Lying is all right as long as it serves a higher purpose
Yes, we know all about that business about not bearing false witness in the Ten Commandments, but that was a very long time ago. Can’t we get beyond that? Truth and truthiness are overrated. After all, did it really matter that the “birther” nonsense was hokum? Not at all. It enraged those godless liberals and launched our brother in Christ Donald Trump toward the presidency.

And all those websites fact-checking our president, claiming that he told more than 2,000 lies his first year in office? Big deal. He’s also pro-life, and he’s trying to root out transgender folks in the military, so cut the guy some slack. Besides, that same website that tracks lying concluded that Barack Obama told 28 lies during his two terms in office. So there. (Democrats are such hypocrites!)

It’s no problem to be married more than, well, twice
Let’s be clear here. We’re not talking about polygamy (sorry, Mitt), only serial marriages. This revision has been a long time in the making. Yes, Jesus said: “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.” Through the 1970s, we evangelicals ostracized anyone who was divorced, let alone divorced and remarried. But then we decided to ditch a family man (and fellow evangelical) in favor of a divorced and remarried Hollywood actor in 1980. Once that barrier was breached, we concluded that, hey, if two marriages are okay, why not three?

White lives matter (much more than others)
Our political movement began in the late 1970s in opposition to desegregation (although our sleight of hand to persuade everyone we organized to outlaw abortion was nothing short of, well, miraculous). On racial matters we’re also indebted to our colleague Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, who did business with David Duke, longtime leader of the Ku Klux Klan, way back in 1996.

Immigrants are scum
We grant that Jesus said something about welcoming the stranger and feeding the hungry. And Leviticus says: “The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself.” But our careful study of scriptural texts has led us to conclude that the almighty had Norwegians in mind, not Mexicans or Salvadorans.

Vulgarity is a sign of strength and resolve
The president’s scatological comments about Haiti and African nations provided a welcome relief to the rhetoric of those coddling the so-called Dreamers. As Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, noted, Brother Trump was “right on target”.

It’s all right for adults to date children
We’re not yet prepared to embrace pedophilia, but we see nothing wrong with a 30-something attorney trolling the local shopping mall for teenage dates. After all, didn’t Jesus say, “suffer the little children to come unto me”? Roy Moore was simply being Christ-like. Besides, he opposes abortion, and he asked their mothers for permission.
