Thats for sure.
Having watched Trump for the last couple of weeks I have to agree with President Obama. The man is not fit to be president. Are these just the first stumbling steps of a man who knows only a little about politics? Time will tell. He doesn't seem to know the meaning of diplomacy. Getting angry at the Aussie PM and hanging up on him??? Firing rhetorical missiles at Iran. Completely mismanaging the entire refugee file. A wall with Mexico?
I have to agree with Martin Luther. He said he would prefer to see a wise Turk. (heathen) rather than a foolish christian
I'm not saying for eg Iran may need to be dwelt with more strongly or the entire refugee issue needs a good look at. I am saying he doesn't seem to understand what diplomacy means. He's like a bull in a china shop. (to coin a phrase)
The other side to this of course as Gary pointed out is that the left has gone completely unhinged. Totally left all reason behind.
Saw a video last night (which I wish I hadn't watched) of a protest at Berkeley.Reporter interviewing a female trump supporter. She said she was in favor of peaceful protest by both camps. As she was turning away an anti-trump type stepped up and sprayed her with mace. There's the left these days just completely unhinged.
As far as refugees and immigration is concerned . . . I think there needs to be a careful look at what is going on. My opinion from a "christian" perspective or at least this christians perspective is that there needs to be far more compassion. Especially towards refugees. God said through the prophets in several places in the OT that Israel was to be compassionate toward refugees because they were refugees from Egypt. I just think as christians the starting pace for us should be compassion. Something that seems sadly lacking out there.
I'm in the middle of moving house and all my references are packed or I would dig up the refugee references.
When I look at America right now all I see is mass confusion in the gov't. Regardless of what side someone is on all this from both sides can't be good for the country. Let alone the rest of the world.
