PROLOGUE
I wonder about the person who does not vote because he does not like any of the alternatives. Personally I would rather support someone and then be let down than to support no one at all. Note what the Bible says: Rev 3:16
INTRODUCTION
Not too long ago a friend asked me how I, a Christian, could support Donald Trump for president. Ideally we ought to have a president who seeks the Lord in every decision he makes. However it appears that although all our presidents in the past appear to have at least given a nod to God, not all were born again Christians.
Phil Robertson (Duck Dynasty) said he talked to Trump at the Voters Value Summit and he looks forward to the day he can baptize him. Trump says he is a Presbyterian, but although the Presbyterians used to be very Biblical, I am not sure how much Bible is taught in the Presbyterian Church today.
I asked a friend at church the other day just why he was supporting Trump and he said: “Because he would be a great leader.”
That has to be the key. He would certainly be a better leader than the man who is president at the moment. Many people support Trump because he is not connected with the government. While it appears that Clinton has never had a job in business and industry Trump has worked in industry all his life. The same goes for his children; they learned construction from the time they were children. Ask those who work for him. Ask his children. He has a great relationship with those who are close to him, both men and women.
If we were calling a man to pastor our church we would insist that he meet all the requirements set forth in the Bible for a pastor. However, we are not calling a man for pastor, but we are seeking a man to lead our country as president.
If I were seeking a surgeon to repair my heart, I would insist that he knew his field of surgery. I would not insist that he be a born again Christian. If I were seeking a mechanic for my car I would insist that he understood all that was necessary to repair my car. But in seeking a man to lead our country I would only insist that he be adequately prepared for the office of President, the most important office in the world.
Knowing that Clinton has virtually no experience outside government, and that her history is seriously checkered by her lack of integrity in her roles in our government, and also knowing that Donald Trump has done some important projects in the real world, providing jobs for literally thousands of people and who has seen those projects through to completion I have a clear conscience in supporting Donald Trump for president.
Clinton left the White House “broke” but is now worth millions. There is a limit as to the amount of money a person can give to your campaign, but you can be paid thousands of dollars for speeches you may make. Here are lists of some of those speeches: and here; and here. The total amounts to several million dollars.

- He has said that he will enforce the immigration laws, something Obama has refused to do.
- Trump has called for temporarily halting all immigration from countries from which terrorist groups have been operating until they can be vetted.
- Trump has asked for an extreme method of vetting immigrants to be sure they:
- Want to accept our values
- Can accept our Constitution
- Want our way of life
- Learn English
- Recently Trump has softened his stand but still insists the laws must be enforced.
- (It is important to point out that he is not suggesting limiting immigration based on one’s religion, but based on country of origin; countries from which terrorism is originating. There is nothing in our Constitution, however, to prevent limiting immigration of a certain religion; only no religious test to run for office. Article VI )
