Donald Trump’s repeated violations of the Ten Commandments aren’t just personal failings they’re moral betrayals wrapped in the language of faith. While millions of Americans and Christians around the world genuinely strive to live by Christian values, Trump treats religion like a prop, using it to shield himself from criticism and court loyalty he hasn’t earned. His words contradict his deeds, and his actions undermine the very principles he claims to defend. In the end, Trump doesn’t just ignore the Commandments he tramples them in full view of the nation, daring anyone to call it out. And i fChristianity truly stands for truth, humility, and integrity, then it’s time believers stop mistaking idolatry for devotion.
