To David F.

Regarding the politics, I'll say I've got mixed views on several of them. But not enough to the degree to say that Trump is the worse president ever, or to dive into an already divided and continually split culture war on him.

Regarding gun control, Trump stood against the bump stock gun adaption that turn semiautomatic guns into automatic guns. For whatever reason the NRA is for supporting that kind of mass slaughter upgrade. Trump's stance on gun control is one that many people (and politicians) have held in the US. Gun control and gun rights is political issue that has much support on both sides. I don't see a solution over all in the near future, regardless if Trump is president or not.

Just about every political issue you posted about Trump has two sides battling it out on each issue. But Trump hasn't abused any power that I am aware of to harm the citizens of the US, outside of opening his mouth and offending those that will get offended.

I'm not aware of a restriction on campaigning for president or becoming president based on a person's career choice. Heck the US even had an actor become president. Though I have no knowledge of Reagan's acting career.

Regarding the separation of religion and state. I don't think that I've seen anything to force Christian worship on the population. Instead what I do see is that religion isn't banned from being openly practiced even within the Oval Office. If Trump is a Christian, shouldn't he be allowed to practice his faith, even to have his own prayer meetings or bible studies? These could be stunts to gain certain political support from a demographic in the US. Regardless if it is or isn't, shouldn't the freedom to openly express your faith also be a right that the president has?

In my opinion if religion doesn't affect a person's behavior in all parts of their life, then they don't really believe in that religion, but instead only follow it half heartedly (when it suits them) and then play by a different set of rules in the rest of the world. The scope of separate on of church and state has gone away from just removing hypocrisy and corruption; instead has become means to silence religion in the life of anyone in a government paid office. This includes local offices, schools, and most anywhere else. Don't talk about religion, don't express religion, don't practice religion if you are in a wide variety of jobs. There is no freedom of religion under such a schem. (But as has been observed by a few others, this only applies to Christians. Seperation of church and state doesn't apply to other religions).

NNS at some time in the future we may well consider with unbiased eyes all religions
Find me another reason humanity is so divided
Look at the insanity of the extremes of Islam, no not the average
Tell me how so many Christians, notable the Catholic Church, sexualy assualted children in their care
A future world would benefit from such a review maybe inventing one God
Ot not one at all, but until that takes place we dare not ignore mens relationship with God, and what God that is

It has been a long hard fight for women to have access to safe and legal abortion in the US. Trump is funding anti-abortion clinics.

https://www.scarymommy.com/trump-fund-anti-abortion-crisis-pregnancy/

“On Friday, the Trump Administration announced it will award a $1.7 million grant to a chain of anti-abortion, crisis pregnancy centers. These centers not only oppose abortion, but they don’t offer contraceptives to pregnant patients. All of this will occur while the administration will still cut funds to Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country.”

The anti-abortion centres are Catholic sponsored.

Christianity has been definitely favored. One of the many instances is the providing of clergy to the condemned.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/kagan-in-supreme-court-says-condemned-jews-and-muslims-need-choice-of-clergy/

“In a dissent to a ruling which allowed Alabama to execute a Muslim without an imam by his side, Justice Elena Kagan said denying condemned persons their clergy of choice, whether they be Jewish or Muslim, was unconstitutional.

Of course any public official may make what religious observances he or she cares to in private life. However, the official should not use public office for such observances. The Christian prayer breakfasts that Trump hosts in the oval office are a violation of the separation.

“President Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., drawing attention for joking remarks that the audience should pray for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ratings on “The Apprentice.”

The speech was Trump’s first at the annual religious gathering, though he joked that he would like “to be here seven more times with you.”

He also pledged to repeal the Johnson Amendment, an IRS rule barring pastors from endorsing candidates from the pulpit.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” he said.”

The Johnson Amendment denies tax exemption to churches whose clergy endorse candidates from the pulpit. Other organizations may not endorse candidates and get tax exemption. I see no reason that churches should be exempt from that.

Under Trump Christianity is favoured. With separation of religion and state no religion should be favoured or suppressed. The state should be neutral.

Dear NNS,

I'm wondering how supportive you are of this?

"Congressional anger is growing over President Trump’s efforts to secure a nuclear energy deal with Saudi Arabia.

Lawmakers first became wary of the plans when the Saudis refused to accept limits preventing them from developing a nuclear weapon.

But that skepticism quickly turned to fury when it was revealed that the Trump administration gave approval for companies to share certain nuclear energy technology with the kingdom without a broader nuclear deal in place.

Lawmakers are now demanding answers."

What do you think of the country which spawned virtually all of the 911 hijackers and which exports an extreme form of Islamic Fundamentalism being enabled by Trump to walk the nuclear path? I'm interested to see how you and others spin this.

Trump is willing to forgive any one and any thing to improve his and Americas financial position
His ignoring the very real threat the Saudi Arabians are is dangerous
