Paul McGuire: Evangelicals Can Still Support Trump Because His Sexual Sins Didnt Involve Him Rapi

On his radio program yesterday, Paul McGuire, co-author of the book “Trumpocalypse: The End-Times President, a Battle Against the Globalist Elite, and the Countdown to Armageddon,” put on a masterful display of the Religious Right’s hypocrisy when it comes to continuing to support President Trump in spite his long record of immoral behavior. After first insisting that the reports that Trump had adulterous affairs with pornographic actresses and nude models were “fake news” created to weaken evangelical support for the president, McGuire then proceeded to also insist that, even if the reports are true, evangelicals cannot afford to abandon the president because Christians are locked in a battle with Luciferian occultists for control of this country.

McGuire dismissed reports that adult film actress Stormy Daniels had passed a lie detector test about her alleged affair with Trump because “you can pay a lie detector test company [or] an individual who has a lie detector company to rig a lie detector test” and asserted that the stories of Trump’s various affairs are nothing more than “a manufactured strategy to take down Trump” because “the Russian collusion story collapsed.”

“The goal is to sever the relationship between Donald Trump and one of the most powerful groups that voted for Donald Trump,” McGuire said. “And one of the most powerful groups that voted for Donald Trump to be president is the evangelical Christian community. Obviously, we as Christians hold biblical values high, we believe in sexual purity, moral faithfulness, we’re against adultery and all the rest of that. So listen carefully here, the strategy is to bring up these events that all involve sexual sins, allegedly, because they know—the people, the strategists behind the scenes—they know that this will upset a significant percentage of evangelical Christian voters and their goal is to turn Donald Trump’s primary supporters, which have been the evangelical Christian voters, against him by bringing up these sexual, moral scandals.”

They make millions ripping off their rubes, they claim some mantle of true holiness while turning their back on literally everything Jesus was said to have taught, they have sucked the teet of power for years hoping for a moment like this and now...they've got more political clout than they could ever have hoped for 30 or 40 yrs ago and their willing to twist themselves into pretzels to support "their guy", even if he's closer to the Antichrist than Jesus Christ. They don't care, as long as they've got that power and the money is flowing.

Let me see if I understand this correctly:
1. The world is at war with Christian morals (no thieving, no lying, no adultery)
2. Christians need someone who is willing to go to battle, someone strong
3. The hitch themselves to a lying, thieving, adulterous SOB named Donald Satan tRump
4. When the scandals start rolling in, they brush them off
5. When there is no avoiding the scandals, they say that it's ok because he represents Christianity's best hope.

And they wonder why there was a "war on Christianity" in the first place?

Personally, I like the idea of calling them "Luciferian Occultists". I'm going to remember that one.

And I find it so ironic that the die hard fundamentalists attach themselves to the most boorish, unbearable, egomanical jackass they could find. When they had a guy who literally represented their values at the helm, and they totally destroyed and ignored him. They deserve that fucking asshole. They're made for each other. He represents their values.

McGuire. The Bible says that all liars will find their place in the lake of fire. Right next to hypocrites like those who support Trump.

King David had Uriah the Hittite killed because he was having an affair with Uriah's wife Bathsheba. David's adultery and murder eventually caused all kinds of turmoil in the House of David and in the Kingdom of Israel, so obviously if you take the Bible seriously as Christians say they do they should not take sexual misdeeds lightly.

Granted Trump didn't have anyone killed nor did he steal anyone's wife (as far as I know) but it is amazing how Christians have bent themselves into pretzels to make excuses for Trump. This is the same group of people who wanted to throw Bill Clinton out of office for his sexual misdeeds.

Sorry. I couldn’t process anything else after reading the subtitle of this con artist’s book. Really? Mercer, Deripaska, Koch, Walton, Prince, DeVos, mid-East royals—all Trump supporters, all global elite. This author really needs to try harder.
