The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump's standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

Their theology is as bad as their choice of political candidate. I cannot think of any other politician that embodies the "Seven Deadly Sins" in public/private life moreso than Mr. Trump. I honestly do not get how the same "conservatives" used to crow about character being of the highest importance for an officeholder/candidate during the 90s, can get on this godawful bandwagon. I still am a Christian and live my life rather "conservatively", but if this is what Christianity and Conservatism has become, it is no wonder the next generation is saying "Count me out...".
