Trump said he "wants immigrants from Norway." The walls built in the Old Testament were to keep out enemy armies that sought to take over the country -those walls had nothing to do with immigration. Even the Bible tells us in several places: "Do not forsake doing good to the immigrants who live amongst you, you were once immigrants...and I am the Lord thy God." So, on that alone, Trump is defying God.
You are overlooking the numerous amount of good things that have come to America through immigration. Most of the 'modern day' inventions we all benefit from were created by minorities. The group of Pilgrims that landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620 were kept alive that first winter thanks to the generosity of Native Indians who taught the Pilgrims how to ice fish, plant corn, and use virtually every part of a k**led animal to survive. Those Pilgrims were in fact IMMIGRANTS.
Of course I studied socialism and c*******m in school. You complain about those concepts. Do you take advantage of Social Security or Medicare? If so, you are benefitting from "socialist" programs. If you truly understand the bible, and how God intended that man should live, you would think God is a socialist....read the 2nd chapter in the Book of Acts about how the first church of God was began.
There has been more than enough "proof" of Trump's crimes. Go back to ordering Cohen to pay off Stormy and Karen McDougal....with campaign money...that is a crime. Installing your family members into paid positions in the WH is nepotism -not sure if that is an actual crime, but its damned unethical. And today republicans in Congress are questioning "what qualifications did H****r B***n have to get such a great job with Burisma?" Apparently, H****r has more qualifications than either Ivanka or Jared - but I don't hear one republican questioning why are they in the WH?
Taking money from the taxpayers for personal benefit is also unethical and illegal. Every time Trump has foreign dignitaries, his staff members, and Secret Service stay at one of his own properties -Trump is benefitting - illegally. Every time Trump sends out a tweet pushing for or against certain companies or individuals he is affecting the markets. What do you suppose is the possibility that Trump pushes for companies that he can benefit from? Surely he's not dumb enough to push for something that would hurt him -like say - a universal flat hotel room fee? Surely not.
I've said many times that your choice is your choice. However, it only makes good sense to consider that you may have fallen for the biggest con game in this century....apparently, millions did.

There you go again with only your supposition of what Trump meant. He only used Norway as an illustration. What the Lord our God spoke of was meant for us as individuals and not as nations. If you have retained any Godly knowledge it was said that we should abide by the Lords laws and those of man. It seems you only retain what you want to hear and retain. The good thing you mention of good things are from legal immigrants that invented many new products that have helped our country become more prosperous and giving than any other country in the world. Your quote "do not forsake immigrants who live amongst you". That was said in a much earlier time in this world when there were no laws about immigration into and out of countries. By denying admission of i*****l i*******ts without going thru the proper procedure's is the law of the land, which the Lord has said we must obey.
In the next paragraph about Social Security and Medicare, most have paid for the insurance with our own money paid over all the years we have worked. That isn't something given to us, we have paid for those with our personal sweat, toil and dedication to the jobs we had held. Socialism is something given to one without any input by those people, it isn't welfare. I worked for those benefits for fifty one years and others, in this country have worked many years to have those benefits provided to us. Socialism is where the government provides for you no matter if you work or don't work,
As for your next little piece of BS. Trump may have had Cohen pay off those two women, but it hasn't been proven he used any campaign money. If that had been so it would have been found in the campaign books that had to be kept on donations and expenditures by the campaign. Not found to be true for now.
If you have had any knowledge and tried to find out if either of Trumps relatives are paid a salary by our government you would have learned they aren't paid a cent by the government.
Next, for a fact, do you know if Trump is paid by the government for any of his staff or secret service that stays at his resorts. From what I have read, it is stated if any President receives any monies, over and above what he receives as a wage for his Presidency, for any stays on any of his properties, he has to include that in his tax reports. Since he receives no monies for being the President he has no income from the U. S..
As for Jared and Ivanka I have read they receive no pay, if that is incorrect please inform me where to find the correct information. Jared and Ivanka have proven to be a good business minded people with the individual endeavors they have done. Jared was one of the people that worked on the trade deal with Mexico and Canada. That couldn't be said for H****r B***n is he has been a dope head and has had other problems. You can't say the same things about Jared and Ivanka. Do you have any facts to point to that shows Trump uses his tweets to provide him profit. I don't believe that is the case. So once again you seem to cast aspersions upon Trump with no facts.
One last statement by me. You keep stating Trump has committed many crimes, but none of what he has been accused, has been proven to be true. We and I mean all Americans keep hearing Trump has committed crimes but with over three years none of the accusation's has been proven to have been true. The Dems have moved from one thing to another time after another when having lost on a point. They stated they wanted Trump impeached Just after he was sworn in as President and even before he had won the nomination. They have been searching for a crime, in their minds, any crime will do whether true or false. They should have had proof before they even started an investigation, but proof was only in their politically aligned agenda.
