Look at all the famous Christian preachers who keep on publicly singing his praises! Those Christian leaders have millions and millions of Christian followers who consider Trump to be a great moral leader. Why shouldn't he believe them?

"For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them." - Jesus

It's entirely possible they genuinely believe Trump is God's choice and is performing God's will. There really isn't any way to know for sure, is there?

Matthew 25:31-46, New American Bible translation

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne,

32 and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
...

41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

43 A stranger and you gave me no welcome, naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’

44 Then they will answer and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’

45 He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you, what you did not do for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’

46 And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

How do you determine which passage is more important? Flip a coin?
