For example, the Bible is stuffed with stories about men who did much worse things than Trump has ever dreamed of doing, whom God put into positions of great power, and showered with His favor and His blessings. That makes it pretty hard to convince Christians that God would never pick someone as awful as Trump to be President, doesn't it?
