What would happen if Donald Trump sat down with the Creator of the universe in a SoHo bistro?
The following statements attributed to Mr. Trump are not fabricated. The man truly uttered them. Those attributed to God are likewise genuine.
With whom do you agree?
Lattes are poured and chairs, scooted.
The discussion begins.
Trump: “I am a really smart guy. I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very, very, very intelligent. I know what sells, and I know what people want.”
God: “[I] oppose the proud, but give grace to the humble. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (James 4:6 and Luke 14:11).
Trump: “Nothing wrong with ego. Show me someone without an ego, and I’ll show you a loser. Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest – and you all know it!”
God: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches. When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom. But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil” (Jeremiah 9:23, Proverbs 11:2, James 4:16).
Trump: “If you don’t tell people about your success, they probably won’t know about it.”
“Part of the beauty of me is that I am very rich. I’m really rich. Cash is king, and that’s one of the beauties of the casino business. And while I can’t honestly say I need an 80-foot living room, I do get a kick out of having one.”
God: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” (1 Timothy 6:10).
Trump: “Fighting for the last penny is a very good philosophy to have. I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it. The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day. Who the f–k knows? I mean, really, who knows how much the Japs will pay for Manhattan property these days?”
God: “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God” (Matthew 19:24).
The conversation moves on to Mr. Trump’s boasting of his many adulterous affairs.
God: “Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?” (Proverbs 5:20)
Trump: “Nice t-ts, no brains. A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10. Oftentimes when I was sleeping with one of the top women in the world, I would say to myself, thinking about me as a boy from Queens, ‘Can you believe what I am getting?'”
God: “Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:7).
Trump: “[Women:] You have to treat ’em like s—t.”
“When a man leaves a woman, especially when it was perceived that he has left for a piece of a– – a good one! – there are 50 percent of the population who will love the woman who was left.”
“If I get my name in the paper, if people pay attention, that’s what matters. You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of a–.”
“It’s all in the hunt, and once you get it, it loses some of its energy. I think competitive, successful men feel that way about women. Don’t you agree? Really, don’t you agree?”
God: “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for [I] will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous” (Hebrews 13:4).
The discussion shifts to Mr. Trump’s lifelong and, until of late, Democratic Party affiliation, Obamacare and his opposition to a ban on even partial-birth abortion.
God: “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward” (Psalm 127:3).
Trump: “No, I am pro-choice in every respect. Very pro-choice. I just believe in choice.”
“I identify more as a Democrat. It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Hillary’s a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. I think Hillary is going to take it, and I think Hillary is very, very capable. Hillary’s always surrounded herself with very good people. I think Hillary would do a good job.”
“[Obama] is a strong guy who really knows what he wants, and this is what we need. What he has done is amazing.”
“I’m a liberal on health care. I like universal health care. As far as single payer, it works in Canada. It works incredibly well in Scotland.”
God: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for [I] love a cheerful giver. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat” (2 Corinthians 9:7; Ephesians 4:28 and 2 Thessalonians 3:10).
The meeting closes with a brief exchange on repentance and forgiveness.
Trump: “For many years I’ve said that if someone screws you, screw them back. When somebody hurts you, just go after them as viciously and as violently as you can.”
God: “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 5:44, Matthew 6:15).
Trump: “I don’t like to have to ask for forgiveness. Why do I have to repent or ask for forgiveness, if I am not making mistakes?”
God: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Trump: “I’m going to make America great again.”
God: “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people. Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly” (Proverbs 16:18, 14:34 and 16:22).
And so, God, Mr. Trump and their respective followers part ways, agreeing, for now at least, to disagree. (Note: Trump quotes cited and consolidated here, here and here.)
You anwser “ AuntB” with:
“All the quotes/scripture are real. Which part of the real do you disagree with? Pretty sad if you can’t handle real quotes.”
EXACTLY.
So far, not ONE trumper has refuted these direct quotes of the don’s.
This pattern of denial is, at it’s core, disturbing - and dishonest. Certainly not how people should choose a president - most particularly when our very Constitution, Freedoms hand by a thread.
I’m convinced Hillary and Trump are proof God is judging America. Now.
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
You obviously hit a raw nerve amongst the Cult.
Good job. I believe it says a lot about the blind that will not see.
This is just a taste of what we will see in the GE.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
God has/does amazing things through sinners.
Stop. It has nothing to do with the quotes. The whole thing is sleezy!

I am glad you recognize townhall as just blah, blah, blah.
"Don't look now, but while our best conservative is running a political campaign, Trump is leading a rebellion. Not as a liberal or a conservative politician, but as a successful red-blooded, can-do American capitalist.", Jim Robinson
Thank you very much, and they are indeed direct quoted by Trump, but as you said the trumpeters are in denial, and cannot face the truth
God declined to have coffee with Cruz or Rubio because they’ve broken a few too many Commandments.
God told Cruz not to steal votes from Carson.
God told Rubio not to be an adulterer.
God told them both about pride.
God told them both about lying.
God told them both about coveting.
Yeah, this silliness can play both ways. Or would you rather have stories about the Devil coming up and playing with Rubio in the foam pool?
And especially not in a SoHo bistro. Total projection of his own limited worldview by a hipster butt monkey.
He does indeed
Agree
Indeed.
You say:
“And I switched from Cruz to Trump not because I find him to be more Christian-acting than Cruz.
If you take just all that Trump has said and done over the last five years or so, and consider his statements such as that he doesn’t believe he’s ever done anything that needs God’s forgiveness, it’s clear he’s been liberal and humanist minded.
Now, he’s either having some change of heart, or for reasons unknown, he is willing to be a voice for evangelical Christians/conservatives.”
WHAT?
So he’s switched his rhetoric in the past few years, with the goal of becoming President - and you’re willing to bet our Country that he’s changed his spots?
But the most confusing of what you say is: “...for reasons unknown, he is willing to be a voice for evangelical Christians/conservatives.”
He is ‘WILLING to be a voice for...” How magnanimous of him!
My tag line: A Christian is as a Christian does - “By their works...” (I’m not ‘speaking for God’ - just quoting the Bible)
Wouldn’t it behoove us us, when choosing a president - most particularly at this perilous time - to look at their ‘works” - HONESTLY?
Most of you won’t even look at Trumps past and his life style , his flip flops - wherever he feels the winds can be take advantage of , no matter where they blow from -
Let alone take at look at what Cruz has done - particularity in defending the Constitution - for example, for our gun rights and for our vets - He doesn’t hold his finger in the wind to make a decision, he looks to the Constitution, and holds to it, no matter the odds.
You people claim to want a Conservative? Yet ignore that Cruz has a 100% lifetime rating from the ACU, a 97% rating from Conservative Review and a 100% rating from Heritage Action.
His rating with the NRA is A+
Cruz won the CPAC (CONSERVATIVE Political Action - lest some forget) straw poll with 40% to Trumps 15%
I pray, for the sake of our Country, that some of the Trumpers will at least LOOK at facts, however uncomfortable they are. And judge the man they pick by his life-long - proven record rather than by their latest soundbite.
Time to be honest with ourselves, folks.
But it is ok for you to judge this as Dumb and Judgmental?
Listen the only living things that don't judge are usually found in the plant kingdom.
Without judgement there would be no Republican or Democratic party.
How are we to judge? Rightfully. Even the verse quoted so often by those ignorant of the Bible in context (Judge Not) is about judging rightly. It says to remove the speck from you own eye to start judging rightfully again. It is about how a hypocrite needs to clean up his act and start judging as the Lord intended him to do.
Agree we need judgement. We just don’t need to assume we know what God’s judgement is.
