There is a difference between "politician" (manipulator) and legislator or administrator. We have the examples of Joseph and Daniel as men involved in the government of Gentile nations, yet maintaining their integrity. So yes, a good Christian can be involved in governance without compromising his Christianity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, such a blanket indictment insults those Christians that can be in politics and working for the good. Case in point, Donald J. Trump. Did you vote for him? He's not a career politician but he has assumed the highest responsibility in the field of leadership politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is refusing to take $400,000 (or whatever) he is telling the world that he is not there for himself but for the country. http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/11/13/confirmed-donald-trump-says-will-take-1-salary-president/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, it isn't , or whatever. 2001 the presidential salary increased to $400,000.00. So it is very specifically that amount. As well as a $50,000.00 expense allowance. U.S. Code › Title 3 › Chapter 2 › § 1023 U.S. Code § 102 - Compensation of the President Is it thing? Or is he trying to usurp the U.S. Code? Because he thinks he can? He can take the $400,000.00 and put it into a private project fund for when he leaves office. Imagine 1.6 million at the end of a first term and what that could do for lets say a veterans cause in 2021. The point being he should think to play by the rules if he's going to be the highest office of rule in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly because Trump does NOT play by the rules that he became the President. In fact, he is going to throw out many of the "rules" that have been destroying America. You should be grateful that he is not taking $400,000 or whatever from the public coffers to line his pockets. Instead you are raising objections. Unbelievable!

Bretibart is more credible than any of the MSM, but if you prefer the MSM, thats your prerogative. Just dont say that Breitbart is not credible because that would be more fake news.
