Trump
- John Dingell: After the longtime congressman died, Trump joked that perhaps Dingell was not “looking down” from heaven but “looking up.” (CBS News)
- John McCain: Trump mocked McCain’s POW history, saying, “I like people that weren’t captured.”
- Liz Cheney: Trump said she should stand there with “nine barrels shooting at her” while criticizing her support for war. (Reuters)
- Serge Kovaleski: Trump publicly mimicked a disabled reporter during a rally, then denied mocking his disability and demanded an apology from the newspaper. (TIME)
- Political opponents: Trump said he would “root out” people he described as communists, Marxists and “vermin.” (Investing.com)
- Haiti and African countries: During an immigration discussion, Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” and questioned why the United States should accept immigrants from them. (Fortune)
- Immigrants generally: Trump has said immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” language directly contrary to the Gospel emphasis on welcoming the stranger.
- Colin Powell: After Powell died in 2021, Trump issued a statement attacking him as someone who had made “big mistakes” and complained that the media was treating him beautifully in death rather than simply offering condolences.
- The Khan family: After Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan was killed in Iraq, criticized Trump; Trump attacked the parents publicly and suggested Ghazala Khan may not have been permitted to speak.
- Revenge against enemies: Trump has repeatedly used the language of “retribution” toward political enemies and has talked about prosecuting or punishing people he believes wronged him. That contrasts directly with Jesus’ teachings about forgiveness and loving one’s enemies.
- Wealth and the poor: Trump regularly presents wealth as a measure of success and has supported policies reducing or restricting assistance for poorer Americans while favoring substantial tax reductions. That stands in obvious tension with Jesus’ repeated warnings about riches and commands to care for the poor.
Those 11 give you distinct Gospel contrasts: mercy, compassion, humility, treatment of the disabled, treatment of the dead, treatment of enemies, welcoming strangers, treatment of grieving families, forgiveness, and attitudes toward wealth and poverty.
