Well, at least we can say you are consistent, I give you that......
If you make it to heaven and see Trump, I think you will still doubt him.
If you meet king David there, would you give him a piece of your mind about his failings?

Please let me know when you see an absolutely broken repentant  Donald Trump  like the Bible tells me of David. Strange comparison except for the present extreme contrast I suppose between the Donald and David.

Psalm 51

New King James Version

A Prayer of Repentance

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

 Have mercy upon me, O God,
According to Your lovingkindness;
According to the multitude of Your tender mercies,
Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
And cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight—
That You may be found just [a]when You speak,
And blameless when You judge.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear joy and gladness,
That the bones You have broken may rejoice.
Hide Your face from my sins,
And blot out all my iniquities.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
1Do not cast me away from Your presence,
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted to You.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
The God of my salvation,
And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
O Lord, open my lips,
And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;
Build the walls of Jerusalem.
Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,
With burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar."

You always ask for a source.  How about yours?

Your are a complete joke to ask for that, but I'll do it for the benefit of others here I actually respect.

Psalm 51

Psalm 51, my often go to chapter to clean up my heart to share scripture.

Don't know if the public will ever see a humbled Donald. He would maybe consider that a weakness not to reveal. Don't know. There are few people I know that allow their brokenness to be made public. I'm usually in my shop with the Lord considering my ways when the spirit moves upon heart and humbles me.

I was not comparing Trump with David.  My point, that even a man after God's own heart can fall into the deft of sin, not perfect, humbled and repent. David's sin was a part of scripture, maybe one of the most known sin. Made known for a reason, our benefit to learn from it. There but by the grace of God go I.

None of of us are perfect yet. We screw up regularly. If I knew you, like you know you, I wouldn't listen to anything you had to say. But, if you knew me, like I know me, you wouldn't listen to me.

Trump is president. cool He lives in a glass house. I do not like his arrogant personality. But I try not to allow this to not support our president. Think! We could have had Biden and Harris.                        God is Merciful...

Thanks, Neighbor.          (lets pray for our president)

And... As spouse and I were discussing, over our morning time and coffee, considering and giving thanks regarding the many blessings we enjoy as our daily provision there is also  the challenge of Job 2:10 b ..."Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?"

What, having Harris as POTUS? LOL Maybe God isn't finished scolding America yet. She could be back!

What I often think of is Paul's messages and his sojourns at a time of rule under Rome, and under the Law. He was secure in his understanding of the hope certain found in the faith of Jesus. That security will get me through even  the era of Trumpites.

And...  Maybe it will be nice for USA taxpayers to pay for the development of a Barron designed Gaza public golf course and upscale residential retreat for the world's  richest individuals at Gaza; just a thought. I have wondered where he might start his projects since dad has announced his setting him up to start developing golf courses and upscale living places around them. That would be a good one for sure eh?

Well need to go tend some of my own empire, pick some weeds anyway. Maybe find some dandy lions for a salad. May God bless.

Oh, I know.  Asking that you follow the standards you insist others follow was so mean of me!

As I expected, the term ethnic cleansing was not to be found.  Ethnic cleansing typically involves killing the people relocated, and the term sends that tone.  Instead Trump said when the proposed work was completed in Gaza, the Palestines could return.  That was a little detail you didn't include either, but which appears in your own cited Liberal media source, here:

"Trump said the U.S. would redevelop the territory after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere and turn the territory into a place where the “world’s people” — including Palestinians — would live."  -- AP 

If President Trump did repair the place, and let the people return, would that be the Christian thing to do?

It's such a nice neighborhood now.  Would you prefer to keep it this way, as a terrorist hot zone, with little kids playing in the bombs and unexploded ordinance?

Good ol' Got Questions has a nice summary  on the subject; even praying for  evil leaders:  https://www.gotquestions.org/pray-for-leaders.html

p.s. Tis a tad bit hard to incorporate into those prayers a companion instruction, that of being a cheerful giver- to IRS anyway. LOL

Hi, The idea of imminent domain always  claims to be looking to the greater good and highest use of a land and it's improvements. POTUS himself has been very precise in stating He ould take it as a long term ownership project, making it into the Riviera of the region. He did not say he would be allowing poor people back in! The intent is to keep those poor lesser beings off the beach property.

Note; POTUS was just month ago stating he has set up a family business enterprise for or with his Son Baron  to head. Baron will develop golf courses and high end housing and community improvements  at these projects.

The idea that a rich person can  do more with a property than a poor person is true, but taking away the poor person's lands is just like a taking their  one little lamb, it is not something God finds holy.

Time to get past the evangelical Christian's idolizations of POTUS and see that  as God had Nathan the prophet state of David, "You are the (that) man!"

One helps the poor,  not take away  the  very little they have and berate them for their poverty; BUT as POTUS has said so often he only likes winners he doesn't like losers.

I do think even elected Republicans will very soon find they can't stomach this and there will be a rebellion, perhaps even an impeachment process that will be successful. 

I fear the first casualty will be  the one person I do support  RFK Jr. I pray  he will pass  the full senate vote, but POTUS is sure making it iffy with his antics.

God bless America, may it's peoples be a blessing back to God.
