"10 Donald Trump Quotes That Should Horrify His Evangelical Supporters: This is how far Trump and his supporters have departed from the Gospel."
Note the date of this meme: 2016!
Obviously with Trump continuing to garner around 81% of the White Evangelical vote, they aren't horrified by this DT quote. Why not? Whatever happened to their mantra during the Clinton presidency that "Character Matters"?

Trump v. Jesus / the Bible
On Arrogance:
Live in harmony with one another;
do not be arrogant….
do not claim to be wiser than you are. - Romans 12:16
Understand that in the last days distressing times will come
because people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, trying to look
all godly like, but denying the power of good.
They’ll be proud, ungrateful boasters, arrogant,
swollen with conceit, treacherous, reckless, ungodly
—inhuman even—implacable, abusive brutes
who slander others and hate what’s good.
AVOID THEM!
- 2 Timothy 3:1-7
The wicked freely strut about
when citizens exalt what is base.
- Psalm 12:5, 8
The rich may be clever in their own eyes,
but perceptive poor folk can see right through them.
- Proverbs 28:11
Whoever doesn’t agree with
the sound teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ
[like the Beatitudes] is conceited, understanding nothing,
and has a morbid craving for controversy and disputes….
From these come envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
and wrangling among those who are depraved in mind,
and denying the true reality of things,
and imagining that if they just act as if they were ‘godly,’
they’ll end up being ‘blessed’ with wealth.
- 1 Timothy 6:3-10 [paraphrase]
Psalm 10:
Yahweh, You seem so removed from the evil playing out.
Don’t You care, God?
Why play hide and seek when we need You most?
The proud persecute the poor and needy.
Pour out on them the evil they plot against others!
They brag about their endless greed,
And promote other greedy people.
They think they’re beyond justice’s reach, even from You!
They think nothing can bring them down, not even You!
They spout out curses, lies and threats.
Only chaos ensues from their schemes.
They pounce on the poor and plunder the disadvantaged.
Yahweh, break their power and strong armed tactics.
You understand the hopes of the humble.
Answer the cries of the oppressed; comfort them with justice.
May they no longer be troubled and terrified by the proud.
- Psalm 10 [paraphrase]
