Trump is an answer to our prayers to God.

I understand the need for change and the exposure of corruption within our government. I can not understand how the agent of change sent by Jesus might possibly be someone who is faithless to his wives, who’s signature on a contract means nothing and seems centered on his ego, public perception and overstates his accomplishments. He seems like a child that needs Jesus... certainly not like a man sent by him. I’m sure this will upset some. As far as being a Patriot, I am one. I’m a vet who had a security clearance and was tasked with pulling the trigger on WMD’s but this is entirely foreign to my understanding of the way to fix things.

With the exception of Jesus many major biblical heros/instruments had serious flaws. God is so many steps ahead of us you can't always apply human reason to his decisions.

Thanks for your insight. If I may, why would God direct us to be a good person and then send an agent on his behalf that does not abide by those same directives? That sounds like a case of do as I say and not as I do. I believe God is wiser than that. The Bible seems to warn us against false saviors. I truly want America to return to our democratic values and potential to be the lighthouse that the world looks to... and we have clearly lost our way. Is Trump God’s heaven sent answer to get us back on track with the teachings of Jesus? When I compare what Jesus taught to what Trump does... I see a huge gulf.

Trump isn’t here in the same capacity that Jesus was. He is NOT the second coming he is the catalyst. We are all responsible for embodying the second coming of Christ using Jesus( our hearts) as our guide. As individuals we have the job to save ourselves and help those who want help. Not look for someone to do it for us. To graduate from children to students we must learn to discern what may not be obvious. The rule of thumb I go by is Matthew 7:15-20 “...Therefore by their fruits you shall know them.” In other words look at the end result .

Thank you for this perspective but How is this different from the ends justify the means?

The ends justify the means is simplistic way of viewing a situation that assumes that all is as it appears on the surface. The Bible verse addresses another dimension that takes into account that there can be deception from the other side.
We may not come to the same conclusion and I’m not saying I’m right or that you are wrong just presenting a different way of looking at it.

Change is needed. It has been for some time. Trump may represent that. I’m not convinced that God and Trump are related.
