Trump...And The Fruit Test!

By Lafe Tolliver, Esq
Guest Column

     I know....I know...I promised last year that I would not spring a pop quiz on my dear readers due to your desire to be properly prepared and readied for such a demanding task.

    Well, I gotta change up on that promise to you due to circumstances beyond my control; and what got me out of control was Donald Trump's latest series of lies, lies and more lies about his culture wars agenda.

    Recently, The Trump, seizing up his sycophantic audience at The Value Voters Summit, stated that he was stopping the cold war on Judeo-Christian values! How's that for a mouthful of gibberish from Trump!

    If you were to ask him to even define "Judeo-Christian" values, he would probably say in all seriousness that they are an amazing rock group out of Seattle. That is how obtuse this man is about anything involving Biblical ethics and values.

    To me, it is clearly obvious that some White House staff writer cobbled together his speaking lines because Trump is woefully clueless about anything "Judeo" and certainly tone deaf on anything about, "Christian!"

     He was speaking before the arch conservative group known as Family Research Council which sponsors the annual Value Voters Summit and as he is wont to do, he sizes up his audience as a pickpocket does an approaching naive "mark" and Trump made his move.

     Regrettably, with some Christian groups who are skinny thin on orthodox Christian dogma, as long as you mouth certain words or phrases, you can literally stand on Fifth Ave., in NYC and shoot someone and nothing will happen to you!

     For Trump, he bought out his garbage can of spoiled red meat for this Christian gathering and as he so shamelessly did in Puerto Rico when he was flipping out rolls of paper towels to the people ( as if he was tossing peanuts to monkeys in a zoo), Trump gave the crowd what they had itching ears to hear.

     He babbled and groped certain words as if he was a teenager on his first date in a car with a knockout babe wearing a low-cut dress. He was shameless in trying to be the champion of Judeo-Christian rights and virtues and all of which he is so desperately lacking in!

     He is akin to a door-to-door salesman trying to sell you a vacuum cleaner that you really do not want but, nonetheless, the salesman rants and raves about it and when pressed by the beleaguered homeowner as to how the salesman likes his vacuum, the guy crumples and says, he does not own one!

    Well. Trump is no different from the wily sales guy who is making a pitch on a product or service that he is clueless about but doesn't want to let on about it lest he lose a fat commission.

    Trump's knowledge of "Judeo Christian" values would rate an appalling minus 44 on a scale of one to 10! It is like Trump is visiting the State of Georgia while believing that Georgia is located next to Lake Erie!

    That is how clueless he is on Judeo Christian values! Remember his monumental gaffe when at Liberty University, he quoted Two Corinthians as opposed to correctly saying, Second Corinthians?

    That is just a mere smidgen of how out of touch he is with anything remotely impacting upon Judeo Christian values but yet many white Christian evangelicals (many of whom voted for this Christian imposter) simply held their noses and closed their eyes and voted for him anyway. Go figure!

     Trump is devoid of any shame or personal conscience when it comes to lying, repeatedly and often; and without regret or remorse even when presented with objective truth that what he just said is wrong, Trump will double down on it!

     One truth that the Judeo Christian religion speaks about is, "By their fruits, ye shall know them." It is referring to the fruit of the Spirit and which manifestations are to be presented in some degree form or fashion for anyone who professes a personal relationship with Christ Jesus.

     This the fruit. Circle which ones Trump displays or showed during his campaign and his current time in the White House:  (1) love (2) joy (3) peace (4) patience (5) kindness (6) goodness (7) faithfulness (8) gentleness and (9) self-control.

     What! You could not circle even one! So, if you could not circle even one, do you think he has the moral shoulders to carry or champion any cause that seeks to uphold Judeo Christian values?

    So, here is your quiz! For each question, circle the fruit or character trait that reveals the true Trump as he attempts to hype his credentials as being a defender of the faith:

(1) Trump's dealings with the recent disaster in Puerto Rico:

(a) kindness (b) gentleness (c) goodness (d) dire threats to withdraw further governmental aid to an island composed of American citizens.

(2) Trump's calling out NFL ballers and their mothers as SOB's!!

(a) self-control (b) gentleness (c) peace (d) cursing men who are making a protest about police misconduct and police brutality against black and brown Americans.

(3) Trump's recent efforts to rid poor people of needed health insurance coverages:

(a) love (b) goodness (c) kindness (d) to gut social programs so the rich can get a tax break.

(4) Trump's failure to apologize to President Obama regarding the lie of the Birther issue:

(a) love (b) kindness (c) gentleness (d) try to smear and discredit someone who was and is totally a US citizen.

(5) Trump issuing executive orders and allowing the EPA to rescind regulations protecting the environment including clean air and water:

(a) goodness (b) faithfulness (c) kindness (d) harming God's creation by intentional acts that befoul the Earth.

     Well, with the above questions, you get the drift! Donald Trump is no where near even trying to imitate the values of which he is allegedly trying to defend before this "religious" body; and apparently that does not bother them in the least bit because they  greedily applauded him instead of taking a "knee" against his religious theatrics and antics.

     Based upon the scriptures, Trump is no more a Christian than Putin is the mayor of Dallas or there are icebergs floating in the Maumee River!
