We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Evangelical figures who previously supported Donald Trump are backing off now that he’s announced his third bid for the presidency.

“Donald Trump can’t save America,” Mike Evans told The Washington Post. “He can’t even save himself.”

Evans was part of a group of evangelicals who met with Trump at the White House, and at one point gave him an award.

Now, he says he’s done with Trump.

“He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us,” Evans told the newspaper. “I cannot do that anymore.”

Yeah, now they're the victims. Whatever. You hopped in bed with the Devil. He used you hard and you loved it. Now you want to cry about your burns. Pfft.
 
How laughable. Trump didn't make them abandon their morals and integrity. They did so willingly.
 
I mean, who didn't know Trump was full of it when he said the Bible was his favorite book & all of that BS? It was one of the most obvious put-ons of all time. It's like he was saying, Hey! Head's up! I'm about to pander to you in a very insincere way!"

What idiots. What fools. Maybe it's time to stay out of politics, religious people.

There a reason why evangelical leaders keep losing their followers.
 
Almost enough to make me reconsider my feelings about Trump��
 
In public, Donald Trump presents himself as someone who honors and celebrates military service, but in private, it appears to be a very different story. Earlier this month, Jeffrey Goldberg wrote a stunning piece in The Atlantic about the Republican president denigrating those who wear the uniform, dismissing fallen heroes as "losers" and "suckers."

Similarly, Trump also presents himself in public as a hero to people of faith, most notably Christian conservatives who are at the heart of his political base. It's against this backdrop that The Atlantic has a new piece today from McKay Coppins, reporting that the president is quick behind closed doors to mock and show contempt for theistic allies.

In speeches and interviews, Trump routinely lavishes praise on conservative Christians, casting himself as their champion.... But in private, many of Trump's comments about religion are marked by cynicism and contempt, according to people who have worked for him. Former aides told me they've heard Trump ridicule conservative religious leaders, dismiss various faith groups with cartoonish stereotypes, and deride certain rites and doctrines held sacred by many of the Americans who constitute his base.

Coppins added that the president has felt a certain kinship with prosperity preachers -- who often tell their followers to make donations they can't afford, confident that they'll receive divine rewards in exchange -- "often evincing a game-recognizes-game appreciation for their hustle."

In other words, Trump saw these preachers as con artists, and if the reporting is correct, he recognized their skills as familiar because of his own expertise in the area.

It's seldom that people recognize a scam in the making until after they've fallen for it. These fake Xtians are no different.
 
Hasidic rabbi assails Trumpism rampant among the Orthodox
Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum of the Satmar sect spoke a day after the victory of Kathy Hochul in competitive New York governor’s race

“Trumpism became entangled in the Jewish camp,” Rabbi Aaron Teitlebaum, the grand rebbe of one the Satmar Hasidic sects, said in a speech Wednesday at his yeshiva in Kiryas Joel, north of New York City. “This Trumpism twisted the minds of so many yiden. It brainwashed people – and that’s so painful,” he said, using the Yiddish word for Jews.

And he warned of Trumpism as a threat to Jews
