I am not American, I'm from Norway, Europe.

I have never understood why americans voted for Trump - twice ! In my view he is a narsissistic bowl whose only purpose in life is to serve himself, himself and himself over and over again. To make such a person the most powerful man on this planet is simply ..... sorry, I have no words.

So many things to critisize him for, but let me restrict it to the tax topic of this discussion now. He has this insane idea in his head that skyhigh taxes will make America great again. But will it? Of course not. The rest of the world is laughing at America. These insane taxes will trigger a trade war that nobody - NOBODY - will benefit from. Escpecially not the vast number of humans in USA living in or near poverty.

It will only make countries enemies, people unhappy and economics unstable. And guess what? Trump even use taxes for political reasons! Trying to force other countries to dance after his pipe. And this man a lot of christians in US voted for? I have no words. No words.

What do you mean by that ?
In both elections were given two choices. I am a Christian and there was no way I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton, she is an evil witch. I don't say that as an insult but as a fact. However I wasn't going to vote for Trump either, so I sat that one out and let the wisdom of the collective mass answer the question.

In the second election the choice was Trump or Kamala Harris. There was no democracy there, she was appointed the candidate. In my opinion the most unqualified person. I have a number of friends who are black women and even they hate her. The way she slept her way to the top and used DEI to become VP and then claimed Biden was competent for four years. Just like Joe Biden said "she is a lying, dog-faced, pony soldier".

Well, in my view, almost ANYTHING would be better than Trump. Are you a christian? How can you then call Ms Clinton "an evil witch"? Is it normal for you christians to call people you don't like for "evil witches"? ( I have to ask because I am not a christian myself, I'm an agnostic)

About Harris: Biden did a big mistake. He should have withdrawn long time before. This left the Democrats in an awful position, with very narrow time limits before the election. So in my view, this was a fault of Mr Biden. Speaking of Ms Harris, I have not seen serious argument either from you or from anyone else why she could not be a competent president.

Finally: After Trump 2.0 entered the White House, how do you see the status of democracy in USA? Has it fallen, risen, or .... ?

There are a lot of things you leftists don’t understand.
For example : I can be in one of your filthiest European cities like Amsterdam in the red light district without engaging in prostitution and I can also be in America where 300 million people have guns and I don’t have a gun.
See?
That’s called being in a culture where you may disagree with their choices but you yourself don’t engage in it.
Of course if you leftists weren’t so clueless with history of another country then you become clowns where we laugh at you and we say : oh look another foreigner hating America.
:coffee:

I call her that because she is involved in the occult and has 100 questionable "suicides" of her associates. Are you a Christian? Don't you know that witchcraft and paganism is in full swing? Burning man is an annual gathering of pagans (another word for witchcraft as is new age movement), they have 70,000 people attend in the US. They use that term, Hillary Clinton is a witch and a very high ranking one at that.

The only reason I add "evil" to it is because many of them like to refer to themselves as "good witches" (Tom Brady's ex wife called herself a good witch). They use the term evil witch for those who have people killed.

You can listen to John Todd's testimony, he was saved out of the occult, he was on the council of 13. His testimony will tell you how pervasive witchcraft is in the halls of power.

Everyone knew that Biden was incompetent, it was obvious, but Kamala lied right to the end saying he was fit as a fiddle. How can you vote for someone who is such a brazen liar?

I will answer your last question in a separate post since you are an agnostic and may not be familiar with these things.

According to the prophet Joel the worldwide shutdown during the Pandemic signalled that the Day of the Lord was at hand (right next door). God gave us an opportunity to fast and pray to get ready.

According to Ecclesiastes Pattern is prophecy. In that Pattern Donald Trump is depicted by Jehu and Hillary Clinton by Jezebel.

We are about to start the last seven years of this age known as the "tribulation". It is also known as the 70th week in Daniel. A week of years always begins on Rosh Hashanah and many believe, myself included, that the evidence points to this beginning September 23, 2025. The US will not survive this time as a superpower, they are the Great Babylon and their destruction comes in one hour.

The entire world lies in the evil one, that includes Donald Trump. However, they are not one big united front, they are like criminal cartels and mafia families. They are all fighting to become king of the hill.

Seems that you have fallen deep into the trap that the conspiracy theorists have made up for you.
 
Look at how far removed Christianity has gotten from Paul's instructions:

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

We know this is true, now why is this a doctrine of devils? Because some cannot live celibate, the devils want to manipulate you if you fall to temptation. How many people wanted to serve the Lord but fell for this, and then blame God when in reality it is a doctrine of devils. The reason that pedophilia was covered up in the Catholic church was because about 25% of the priests are involved in fornication. So instead they teach the Emily Post version of the Bible, let's not call sin, sin. Let's not call doctrine of devils, doctrine of devils. Let's all be polite.

1 Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

How can it be so hard for people to understand that a lot of people, even Christians, have turned to Satan?

First of all: I don't hate America. If you claim that is my claim, I want to see your documentation.

The rest of what you write gives no meaning. You have to reformulate things.

We will all have to stand before the Lord one day to be judged for the things we have done and said. Not only so but also for the things we have not said.
