2. Trump and Christianity do not coincide in any way

I was raised as a Christian and actively studied the Bible and participated in my congregations. Ten years ago, the hypocrisy, lack of intellectual rigor and the silliness of religion became too much for me to continue in the faith. Now, as an atheist, I haven't looked back.

I make these points to say that I know what I'm talking about. Trump does not represent anything that the carpenter from Nazareth taught and preached. In fact, Trump is the antithesis of Christianity. Trump not only violates the Ten Commandments on a regular basis, he violates Jesus' Golden Rule every single day!

Could someone please explain to me why Christians support Trump?

By the way, I like your game, TidalWave46. That was a good play on your part and I especially like that you didn't overplay your point. Well done and happy New Year.
