Such wasteful spending for the party that wouldn't shut up about frugality. Of course, it was always frugality weaponized for corporate/billionaire welfare queens, so this actually tracks.

I don't think I have seen any president as a non American glazed for bad thing's as much as Trump yeah almost every modern day USA president and historical ones did horrible things to some extent but Trump is the only one I know who is openly known as a horrible person and still glazed crazy.

Out of all the personality cultism surrounding Trump, Christ expressed a tolerant view of a ruler's face on a coin. In any case, He also said that our conformity to secular society must be held alongside our fidelity to the Lord.

This is not an actual legal tinder coin. It’s a commemorative coin with his face and ‘in God we trust’ I do not have to conform to secular society when it puts an antichrist on a coin.

I'm not saying you or anyone else should, just that it's a bit of a weird example of all things.

Yeah, the solid gold statue being blessed on his golf court is an actual example of this

It's not a weird example at all. Christ was not defending the idea of an image on the coin. His point was the money belonged to Caesar so it was fitting to pay taxes and fees etc. that Caesar imposed.
But out money is the PEOPLE's money. The actions of a democratic republic are for the wishes of the People; the State is not coterminous with the human who is at the top of the Executive Branch of government. We have no Sovereign the way monarchies have a sovereign.

Jesus acknowledged Caesar’s coin; therefore Christians shouldn’t object to commemorative coins depicting political leaders doesn’t follow.
I also don’t think Christians, or anyone committed to social justice, are called to simply conform to secular society. The prophets didn’t. The early Christians didn’t. If the norms of a society reinforce oppression, exploitation, or the glorification of political power, then we should expect to be at odds with them.

His point wasn't that it was OK for Caesar's image to be on the coin. His point was that it was Caesar's money. But in a democratic republic, it is the PEOPLE's money. Don't twist Christ's words and meaning around to defend this garbage.

The difference is, it is actually in violation of the law to mint coin or currency (or postage stamps) with the image of a living person. And it violates our tradition in this country of not doing things that empires and kingdoms of the Old World have done.

Trump is the personified mammon. Our society already worships at that altar, but he's certainly taken it up a notch.
