It's become quite clear: being a Republican may not necessarily make you a racist, or homophobic, or a religious moron, or a backward-ass hick... but one thing is for certain. You cannot defend Trump and present him positively in any way without lying your ass off. Defending Trump requires dishonesty.
As soon as someone defends Trump, I know they're a damned liar.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
