First of all, any time someone uses the word wealthy or rich to describe Trump, I know that it goes to the point that the person is jealous of his success. Secondly, I’m sure he does give to many charities, but those aren’t what I’m referring to. Just simple acts of kindness toward the average Joe that he has done over the years, which he never talks about, but others have.
You hoist yourself on your own petard. He bragged in Birmingham today about having to fill out 100+ pages of federal forms regarding his personal wealth to get on a state ballot. I agree that Trump's comments about his personal wealth have insulated him from the political fundraising hacks and permitted him to stake his positions on illegal immigration and Syrian refugees.

Being kind, even generous to strangers, is a Christian virtue. I am not challenging Trump, or even questioning him on that. Like many Freepers, I respect his self-confidence and admire, to a degree, his business success (4 bankruptcies), but his hubris in publically professing that he has not prayed for forgiveness and his propensity to put his name on so many of his buildings more than suggests a lack of humility. Hubris has been on public display in the White House for 7 years now.
All Freepers know that the U.S. is in deep trouble right now. Should Trump prevail and get the GOP nomination, I would probably vote for him in the general election. The Lord uses us all for his purposes. But I remain wary that he exhibits the persona of an imperious president like Obama.
