Jesus and The Donald: The Christian Case Against Voting Trump
American Christians are tempted to vote for Donald Trump as the perceived “lesser of two evils”, but do the teachings of Christ permit us to do this? Andrew Clark presents the devastating case against Donald Trump by juxtaposing Old and New Testament teachings with Trump’s own words to give Christian voters a clear understanding of their choice between Jesus and The Donald.

BUNK!
Today's world is full of crooked politicians etc etc. No one is going to tell me that all the "mysterious" deaths surrounding
Hillary Clinton is a good thing! Every man and woman has sinned! Now, the facts: There are public videos all over showing that Trump has stated how he feels when he was a very young man and he still stands behind those morals and beliefs! How, pull up Hillary Clinton's old videos...she STILL continues to lie and contradict herself! She will say ANYTHING in an effort to be politically correct...which has made a total mockery out of our country! Trump wants to clean out the crooks and bring back the US back to a stronghold...vote for Hillary and we go to HELL IN A HAND BASKET sooner than soon! Do not try to toss God in this...because if he didn't died on the cross for FREE WILL HE would have stopped this insanity long ago!!
Vote for Hillary and you WILL see more Muslims with their beliefs winning over Christianity morals and beliefs WHICH MADE OUR COUNTRY!!!!
The lesser of two evils, if you will, IS TRUMP!!! Pray people because Jesus is returning very soon! Do NOT be fooled!!!

This is a really interesting book. It was written in 2015, before the first Trump Presidency, by a Christian who doesn't vote as a matter of conscience - something that he discloses in the preface. As a result of the latter, he doesn't really have a dog in the race of partisan politics and can write from a dispassionate place of moral concern within a biblical framework.
The book is only 54 pages (counting footnotes) and can easily be read in a single sitting. But boy does it pack a wallop! The author is careful to support his arguments with full citations and scriptural references, and I was shocked by, after a decade (I'm writing this on September 5th, 2025) and two Trump Presidencies, how to the point, relevant, and timely it is.
Apparently, when it comes to Donald J. Trump, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Consider this citation, which, again, was written a decade ago:
"Trump also stated that he will “rebuild the military”, as if it has been cut to the bone and is a shadow of its former self:
'You know the thing I’ll be great at that people aren’t thinking? And I do very well at it. Military. I am the toughest guy. I will rebuild our military. It will be so strong, and so powerful, and so great. It will be so powerful and so great that we’ll never have to use it. Nobody’s going to mess with us, folks. Nobody.'
(Brian Adam Jones, "The Problem With Donald Trump’s Plans For The Military", Task & Purpose, September 15, 2015)
The U.S. currently spends $598 billion annually on its military, more than the next ten countries combined; that is four, seven, and fourteen times what China, Saudi Arabia, and Russia spend on their militaries, respectively.
One wonders how much more Trump believes the US would have to spend on its military to achieve this peace through strength. This is certainly not the beating of “swords into plowshares” of Isaiah 2, and it’s incredibly difficult to interpret Jesus’s words in Matthew 5 to “turn the other cheek” as “carry a stick ten times larger than any of your opponents so that they won’t mess with you”."
(Andrew Clark, "Jesus and The Donald: The Christian Case Against Voting Trump", position 464 of 837)
Please note that this review is being written on the very day that Trump signed an Executive Order rebranding the Department of Defense to the Department of War. Again, a decade later, nothing has changed, has it?
This book is a quick read, but I suspect that you, like me, will find much to love in it.
