35. But I can't understand why they're doing what they're doing, because that is not what God would intend.

Amy, the next time you vote, take some time to know what the candidates actually stand for.
Trump has spent his whole adult life demonstrating a total disregard for "Christian values". The only thing he will actively, completely support is himself.
But he's very good at playing suckers like you; people who want so badly to have someone work for them in government that they fail to actually look behind the campaign hype. He plays on people's fears and prejudices, getting you all riled up over issues that either don't actually exist, or are being greatly distorted. His promises are designed to blind you to his actual agenda.
And, that agenda is to be a dictator instead of a leader, so he can achieve his dream of complete power, total control, and, of course, nearly unlimited personal wealth.

First lesson to learn when dealing with Trump is to understand that he doesn't care about anyone other than himself.
