THREAD: TRUMPVANGELICALISM vs. BIBLE

Trumpvangelicals claim their political views are derived from the Bible, so in this thread - which I plan to add to daily - we will compare their views with the Bible.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: Trump will protect us Christians from persecution!

BIBLE: "Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus WILL BE persecuted" (II Timothy 3:12, emphasis added)

No politician can save you from what the Bible says is inevitable.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: We NEED someone God-friendly in the White House!

BIBLE: "The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
'Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!'

(cont)
"He who sits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them." (Psalm 2:2-4)

God isn't threatened by leaders who oppose Him. Instead, He laughs that they think they are in charge. He can make ANY leader do whatever He wants.

(cont)
"The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes." (Proverbs 21:1)

God doesn't need someone friendly towards Him in the White House in order to accomplish His purposes. Anyone - Democrat or Republican - will work just fine.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: Migrants come here and just get on welfare & mooch off us! We can't provide for all of them!

BIBLE: Leviticus 19:9-10: "When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

(cont)
"Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and THE FOREIGNER. I am the Lord your God." (emphasis added)

God commanded His people to give a portion of THEIR OWN HARD-EARNED CROPS to the foreigners living among them.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: So what if Trump is harsh to detained immigrants? They came here illegally! They deserve it!

BIBLE: (Matthew 25:31-46) How you treat criminals in prison is how you treat Jesus Himself. If you show no kindness to them, you don't know Jesus.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: God would approve of Trump

BIBLE: God promises to judge "adulterers and perjurers... those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice" (Mal 3:5)

Sounds like Trump, eh?
TRUMPVANGELICALS: Immigrants don't have American rights!

BIBLE: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated AS YOUR NATIVE-BORN. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt." (Lev 19:33-34a)
TRUMPVANGELICALS: This is OUR country! Immigrants don't belong here!

BIBLE: (Matthew 25:31-46) How you treat foreigners (Greek 'xenos,' translated 'strangers') is how you treat Jesus. If you welcome them in, you know Jesus; if you don't, you don't know Him.
TRUMPVANGELICALS: Trump's sins aren't as bad as abortion.

BIBLE: Actually, Trump's sins are just as much of an abomination to God as abortion, according to Prov. 6:17-19, where God lists the 7 sins He hates
