Steve Strang Says Christians Who Don't Approve Of Trump Need To Get Over It, Because, Jesus

Charisma magazine’s Steve Strang appeared on TheDove TV’s “Focus Today” program yesterday to promote his recent book, “God and Donald Trump,” and he had some advice for Christians who just cannot bring themselves to support President Trump because of his un-Christian behavior: “Get over it.”

“What would you say to believers that are still struggling with Donald Trump because of his tweets, his bite-backs on people, some of his conduct, some of his language?” asked host Perry Atkinson. “What do you say?”

“I would tell them, ‘Get over it,'” Strang responded. “I mean, what leader is perfect?”

“Donald Trump is not perfect, he doesn’t pretend to be perfect, but what is he doing that is so terrible?” Strang continued. “I think that what happens is that people get a political mindset, they look at things from a certain political point of view—Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative—and then everything they see is through that filter. Our filter as Christians needs to be the word of God, it’s got to be Christian principles, those kinds of things. And on those kinds of things, nobody could be stronger than Donald Trump.”

Really, Steve? Jesus would approve of getting spanked by a porn star with a Forbes Magazine?

These are the same people who raked Bill Clinton over the coals for his "affair", but Trump not only has an affair, literally cheats on his wife with a porn star, and these assholes are like "it's all good!".

In their fantasies they are him, fornicating, telling anyone they dislike to eff off, and amassing wealth.

Freedom of religion, that is, freedom to discriminate, freedom to break laws without tax and financial consequences, they would bow before him and excuse every broken commandment. Just like what they've done with DOTUS.
