Trump bashing appalling

I am appalled at the negativity being hurled at our new president. He has taken on a very difficult role, and he needs all the encouragement our nation can muster. Even before he was elected, people were finding every conceivable means to drag him through the dirt.

Jesus said, “All power is given unto me both in Heaven and on Earth.” This includes political power. Hence, every political leader (including Hitler and Chairman Mao) were ordained of God. Those of you who call yourselves Christians should be on your knees asking God to give him the wisdom to do a very difficult job. It isn’t easy having your every decision autopsied by the media and everyone else.

One prime example is the temporary suspension of air traffic from a few specific Middle Eastern countries. While some have made it look like he’s throwing out the baby with the bath water, President Trump is doing what he feels best to ensure the safety of America. Pray, don’t bray.

By the way, I voted for Gary Johnson. I don’t hold any animosity that he didn’t win.
