What I believe is that the only sound path forward is given by the Bible, to pray for those in authority. The idea that Trump was worse than the Roman Caesars at the time the NT was written is another absurdity.

The purpose for this prayer is that we can live a quiet and peaceable life.

There is no suggestion that being Christians, or moral, or tactful, are prerequisites for us to pray for them.

Over Thanksgiving my brother made a very astute point, all of the complaints against Trump are merely preaching to the choir, none of those complaints affect his supporters, they know that and either don't care or agree with Trump. Therefore, all you are doing is highlighting the divide.

Instead, if you would focus on the things that he does that are anathema to his base, then you might actually be effective at motivating a groundswell of indignation towards him. Point out the one thing he does that they hate and you will see them rise up and throw him out.

Simply remind people that Trump rides his golf cart onto the green.
