Trumps Temperament?

[Revmitchell]

If the election were tomorrow knowing all I know now I would not vote for Trump. I still believe he is an immoral man. That said there was one specific accusation thrown around by Obama, Hillary, other GOP candidates, and yes a number of people on this board. That accusation was that Trump does not have the temperament to be President. It was questioned whether he could deal effectively with other world leaders.

At this point I think he has well proven that to be false given that he has invited people, who have leveled some of the most difficult rhetoric at him during the campaign, to Trump tower such as Perry, Romney, etc. who after the meeting have come out and had a great report of Trump and very positive things to say, but also he has spent much time with Obama and has positive things to say about him as well.

His time in transition has been nothing but positive, uplifting, and moving forward.

It is safe to say the criticism of his temperament has been shown to be unfounded and untrue.

Ask John McCain about his temperament. Or we could just cherry pick guys like Romney sniffing around for a job or Obama who is obligated to have a one on one with his successor. These people weren't testing him in those situations. He's great when he hears what he wants to hear but then goes all scorched Earth on a guy like John McCain at the drop of a hat.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Ask about John McCain's temperament. In fact, John McCain can go jump in a lake.

That's fine and all but he doesn't need to get ridiculed about his POW tenure from a privileged rich boy simply because he didn't kiss the ring.

But...he's not even in office yet. How can you pass judgment on him?

 

[Revmitchell]

But...he's not even in office yet. How can you pass judgment on him?

Umm...the results of his recent actions are in. Much of the other criticism is about what will happen and there are not yet any results to make a determination. Not sure why this needs to be explained.

My opinion only. I still question his temperament.

I do not think that a politician can get to higher office without some level of an inflated ego. Having done the type of work that I did for many years, I only met two or three who I could say gave me the impression that they were truly humble and only wanted to serve their Country.

What concerns me still is not Trump's ego itself, it is whether his ego will let him think that he can run rough-shod over the Constitution. The impression that he wishes to be a strongman is what worrys me. Having said that, what I think will indicate his intention is how he deals with gun control and the Second Amendment. Strongmen generally do not encourage a well-armed citizenry.

That's the new outrage isn't it ? No, McCain was a bad guy way before that.

That's the new outrage isn't it ? No, McCain was a bad guy way before that.

That's just it though. It wasn't about disagreeing with a policy or position and it's not even really about McCain. His need to always fire back insulted anybody that's ever been a POW just so he could get his zinger in against McCain.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Over and done, for me. John McCain owns a lot of that. Just because he was a POW does not mean he walks on water. John McCain is a huge part of me leaving the Republicans. Trump is pretty close to bring ii me back. My bet is Trump will end up treating veterans better than the last four presidents.

 

[Revmitchell]

There should be a picture next to the word RINO in the dictionary of McCain. He is the epitome.

 

[Use of Time]

Again his isn't about John McCain and what kind of politician he is, it's about Trump's desire to get the last word resulting in blanket insulting POW's. This pertains to Trump's temperament, i.e the thread topic.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

And I am saying when it comes to temperament, McCain is a bad example to show us how bad Trump is. Ive seen some of McCain's public rants I can imagine what the two of them have said to and about each other in private would make all of what we know now pale in comparison. I don't know why he said what he did but it is clear to me we have a completely different Trump now.

 

[Use of Time]

For now we do. He's enjoying a victory lap right now though.

I still question his temperament.

All of this analysis is fun to have, but let's not forget the sovereignty of Jehovah.

I was hoping Obama would not win. If you want to talk about immorality just look at Obama's position on ripping babies from the womb and slaughtering them, Hillary's is the same. The question I had when Obama won was "why God? Why do you want Obama for us and the world?". And that is the big picture, the center of God's plan is Israel, sorry, it is not the USA. God will take care of His children in the USA, but He raises up Leaders for the most part to do His will surrounding Israel.

We do not not why God chose Trump, we can only wait and see. Go back to Bush, why did God want bush? In hindsight we can see God wanted the USA to remove Saddam from power and of course this stirred up a whole lot of trouble in the Middle East.

So why then did God chose Obama? In hindsight we see that Obama pulled out from the Middle East and let them have at it.

You want peace in the Middle East? Bible flash, it does not happen until the Antichrist appears and creates a sense of peace for a brief time before the big slaughter of all slaughters and then the True Peace steps down from heaven.

God chose Trump for the next step. Accept God's choice and let's watch and see why He chose him. Apparently Trump's temperament, whatever that may truly be, is exactly what God wanted for the next four years. What that means for the Middle East we should be excited to see, because until things get REALLY BAD over there we will not see the end of all of this death and destruction.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, which in effect is praying for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, for there is no other way it will happen. Not with any USA President, unless of course the Antichrist comes from the USA Presidency and only then would it be a false peace.

God wants all to come to repentance. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost. God wants the gospel to be preached to all nations. That is the lens through which we should look at EVERYTHING. Not Israel. Trump has done much to damage the witness of Christians. I don't see how Christians defending Trump's immorality ("God used David", "Trump is like Cyrus") promotes the gospel.

Or you could ask about the foul mouthed tantrum throwing opponent he faced in the election. She didn't need a finger on guided missiles. She just took whatever was handy and made a missile out of it.

Aides just had to duck and run.

No, that is the lens YOU choose to look at EVERYTHING. And that is certainly your right, but no need to preach it as a biblical doctrine.

Yes, Israel is the center of God's end time prophecy and the ushering in of the Antichrist and seven years later the True Christ. God may want all to come to repentance, but God will also destroy those who do not want to come, and many of those are being destroyed everyday for the sake of those who do.

Wow, just wow...

And I'll go on preaching the gospel as a Biblical doctrine.

Actually, Trump has the perfect temperament for the job, in God's eyes. The eyes of man are tempered by sin. Only God knows the true Donald Trump and He has chosen to use him as His instrument to lead this nation for the next 4 years.

End of story.
