Pres Trump "Shame on You:" Used God's Name in Vain

Follow-up: 7-20-19, Annette -- I have received some push back about my criticism of the profanity our President used this past week in North Carolina. A few others have concluded that the President did not use the Lord's name in vain or that we should lighten up and keep it in perspective. Here's what he did say:About his friend: "if you don’t support me, you are going to be so G-ddamn poor, you are not going to believe it.'” And a second time in a reference to how [G-D] hard the nation’s armed forces might strike Iran, should it come to a military conflict. [I couldn't find the direct quote.]

Using God's name as an adverb [or adjective] [describing how poor ... or how hard the military was going to hit Iran] is blasphemy.

I am a conservative supporter of Pres T and want to make an issue of this because he's getting a little too cocky; using more and more profanity. [In No Carolina he also repeated 'bullshit.']

Apparently Pres Trump believes he answers to no one; at least that's how he's behaving. God will not be mocked ... Pres T must rein it in and be more circumspect in his language. Appearances matter. I pray that Pres T will heed the warnings and admonishments and behave better so all his comments can be quoted and recorded without embarrassment. Write here to the president:

​At North Carolina Rally Pres Trump Disappoints Many God Fearing Americans
***
7-18-19, Annette -- I am a strong supporter of President Trump and becoming more and more concerned as he 'peppers' his speeches with profanity. This last rally in North Carolina was the worst yet ... he used God's name twice, it's against God's 4th Commandment. I agree with the following reports:

President Trump chided for use of profanity God's name at NC rally: 
​7-19-19, Mr President please curb your cursing; you are doing it more and more and now in North Carolina you even used the Lord's name. [Commandment #3: Exodus 20:7]

Sen. Paul Hardesty, Democrat from Virginia commented on the "distasteful comments" President Trump made during his July 18, 2019, North Carolina rally.  Senator Hardesty, a conservative Democrat Trump supporter from coal country, sent a letter to the president pointing out that he used God's name twice: 

• The first time was in reference to a business person whom Trump didn't get along with that reluctantly agreed he is prospering under the Trump administration. Otherwise, he would've been "g-d-damn poor"
• The second time Trump used it was in reference to how hard the U.S. military would strike Iran if it comes to it.

Hardesty said: "There is no place in society -- anywhere, anyplace and at any time -- where that type of language should be used or handled. Your comments were not presidential. I know in my heart that you are better than that. Remember it's "In God We Trust" in the United States, "not curse." I remains a supporter today and urge you to reflect on your comments and never utter those words again."

Trump, largely elected by evangelical Christians, has said he will fight for religious freedom. His support has increased among evangelicals, largely because of nominating conservative judges, moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and because of his anti-abortion policies; but are very disturbed that his use of profanity is increasing.

[Note: We Christians are appalled at President Trump's increasing cockiness, profane and sacrilegious comments.--Annette]
