[Navigate through the Politics / Republicans? / Donald Trump menu tree above for numerous additional, topically-organized pages dealing with Donald Trump.  Most of the information shared on those pages is now outdated, with the exception of the  Economics  , the  His Religion , and the  DJT & LGBT(QRSTUVWXYZ)  pages (which are relatively current) —  but all those articles were timely and accurate when they were originally published here.  Many principled, careful thinkers (i.e. conservatives) were rightly critical — both  before  and  after  the 2016 election — of Donald Trump’s many long-established and confirmed moral failings.  Donald Trump, though, was (and still is) a modern enigma (see, for many examples, the  Christians & Donald Trump  page), having entered the presidency in early 2017 with zero experience in domestic politics and/or international affairs — which problems were clearly evident during his first year and a half or so in office — but leaving office with the most successful economy in decades, the most conservative Supreme Court in almost a century (despite its many anti-Christ-ian decisions), and the most pro-life presidential record on record.  As revealed on the  Economics  , the  His Religion ,  and the  DJT & LGBT(QRSTUVWXYZ)  pages, though, Donald Trump’s failures were also prevalent throughout his presidency and were  typical  of the Republican party in general in that they were clear examples of anti-empirical, anti-Constitutional, and Anti-Christ-ian liberalism rather than evidence-based, Constitutional, Christ-centered conservatism (many more of Trump’s failures as President — and the Republican party in general — are available for publication here on ASND if requested using the Reply option at the bottom of every ASND page).  But “The Donald” definitely did learn while on the job and several of his confidants and supporters  claimed  to have seen a dramatic evolution in his moral and spiritual constitution during his presidency, which made him — by far — the lesser of available evils in the 2020 election.

President Trump Shouldn’t Send The Military More Money Until They Stop Dumping It Down The Drain
Our defense budget is a sieve for congressional pet projects, special interest contracts, and social engineering programs. Pumping more fuel into the tank is little use if you don’t patch the holes.

Donald Trump, a life-long proponent of a paternalistic central government, campaigned on a platform that included:
* trade protectionism,
* expanded welfare (paid maternity leave),
* leaving the near-insolvent entitlement programs intact,
* universal health insurance coverage,
* $1 Trillion in infrastructure spending, and
* overt intimidation of large American corporations.

[Despite all of the above (including the hundreds of the other Trump citations on the other Trump pages accessible from the topical menus near the top of each ASND page), there are many people who are saying things like the following.]

“Hillary Clinton wrote a book about the election called What Happened.  My book God and Donald Trump answers that question.  The answer is God intervened.  Many Christians had been praying about the direction our country was going in.  It was going further and further to the left, almost socialistic in some ways.  And the moral decadence has been increasing. God raised up a man we did not expect, and maybe didn’t even like.  Maybe we didn’t even want him, but God raised up a man to help shift our country.”

Love Him or Hate Him, God is Using Donald Trump

[Nobody Important  has never met Donald Trump so I have no way of knowing — or even guessing — whether such wishful thinking is also true.  What we do know to be true is that Trump’s policies since becoming President are very different from the behaviors he exhibited for his entire adult life prior to becoming President.  This page does not chronicle those differences (i.e. his adoption of morally {i.e. biblically} supportable positions on a wide variety of issues) but ASND will provide such chronicles if requested in the Reply option below.]
