Is Trump a Christian?
That cannot be a serious question.
You are right. No one can seriously claim Trump is a Christian.
Except that he is.
No, he may say that but he is a pathological liar and there is zero external evidence that supports the idea he is.
LOL
ROFL
Trump is a lot of things.
Including being a Christian.

Trump says he is a Christian.

If you want to argue that he is not a good Christian, I suppose you can do that. It would be tough to argue with that.

If you want to say, "He's not a real Christian," citing the standards that in your mind constitute somebody's being a "real Christiantm," then you can certainly do that.

But as far as I have been able to determine, individuals in this country continue to be allowed to define their beliefs as they see fit, no matter how many of us wish to insist that those persons don't cut the mustard to be one of the specific group to which they are claiming affinity. See also: Richard Nixon was a Quaker.

That said, I think he is a very poor representative of the broad group of Christians and makes them look worse.
Well that is your opinion on good or bad Christian.
The operative word is Christian.

Being Christian is not a word.   It is a way of life in which actions implement compassion, tolerance, temperance, peace and love towards others.  All Trump has is the word, and the false swagger of a greedy and venal man.  He does not follow Christ.

The operative word is "says" - he says he is a Christian.

Jimmy Carter also says he is a Christian, though he mostly doesn't talk about it much. But his visible life smacks of Christianity. The same cannot be said of Trump.

One of the saving graces for democrats in the Biden failure to pass an Alzheimer test last night was his terrible Town Hall performance was on CNN.
The network is unwatchable.

For what it is worth i forgot the word "replace" after to. Nature cannot adapt to replace depleted.resources.

Well,  it can,  but we'd be twiddling our thumbs for sixty million years while we wait for shrubbery and dead people to turn into oil.  This whole chat has two different definitions of adaptation.   The kind where you haphazardly react to one crisis after another and the other kind where you reduce crises by predicting and planning for them.  History demonstrates which type is cheaper.   But,  sure,  REdward,  go buy that Louisiana beachfront property.  The ocean knows exactly how to "adapt" to a melting Greenland ice sheet.

It is the other way around.  Humans know how to adapt to melting ice sheets.
Some day, possibly, you will understand this.

Do you mean Washington DC. Mr President?

Heh.

Do you mean Jill, sir?

If mocking the effects of aging is your thing, you had better hope karma is not.

Fair enough

But why aren't you or others representing your party here at least putting forth concern of his current capability?

He is clearly more capable than 99 percent of Americans and far more capable than anyone put forward by or supporting republicans in the last several decades.

He is capable of not humping the flag for a start. That gets ugly when rapey republicans do it.

He is capable of distinguishing the difference between poison and medicine. The republicans have a huge problem with this leading to a growing pile of dead GOP followers.

He has created the highest valued stock market indexes of all time and the policies he has already enacted have caused jobless claims to fall lower than they have been since Covid-19 was discovered.

His justice department has jailed hundreds of the creepy traitor fucktards you normally see polluting GOP primary slates and emergency psych wards.

The real question is why are republicans so afraid of good government?

One likely answer is that republicans fear that under good government, more of their heinous sex crimes will come to light. This certainly motivates all trumps, Matt Gaetz, and Gym Jordan.

Republicans fear good government because they know they can not compete on an even playing field.

Paul Weyrich called good government the Goo Goo syndrome or something like that and that is why he said Republicans do not want everyone to vote. The modern GOP stands astride the shoulders of sociopaths.

Plenty of water in America...it just needs moving from where it is to where it is not.
no 1 radio host would call it
"Watering America".
Missouri River flows into the Mississippi, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico.
Look at all that water being wasted.
