> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > I’m quite happy to believe that Trump has some racist bents. I just don’t think the housing discrimination case presents a clear picture. And even if it did, it would be towards his father. I posted that to show that Trump is a racist from a racist family from way back. And also that the Donald was in a position back then to affect minorities’ lives in a way that your average racist did not and does not have. Trump didn’t speak up against the discriminatory practices that he and his father were performing, and he had a high position in his father’s company. He has never apologized for those practices since, not even with political motives to do so. Even if you discount the housing discrimination completely as all on Fred Trump’s responsibility, his son has, over and over, proved that he indeed holds racist views. He saw Charlottesville from both sides, so to speak. ---

> [@Odesio](#): > > What I’m getting at is you can have an unbiased presentation that is unfavorable to one or more parties. The fact that a documentary makes Trump look bad is not evidence of bias. Pretty much this. > [@Velocity](#): > > Adding to previous comment - it could feel more unbiased if one doesn’t make it about his presidency alone. Focus all about his whole life - childhood, upbringing, life in New York, real state mogul, reality TV, and then have the presidency be only the last 10% of the video, since his presidency has only been a few years of his life. Except that much of his prior life was also absolutely horrid (stiffing anyone he could sue, multiple bankruptcies, his confirmed non-consensual sexual acts, etc) and the toxic nature of his family, while perhaps somewhat sympathy generating, to only dial it all up to 11 as an adult, is not going to help. NOTE - you could probably make something as _unbiased_ as possible, but that’s a different sort of thing from _neutral_. ---

Presumably, they believe Jesus was real and died for our sins. They act the way millions of other Christians act, and nor worse than milliions of Christians have acted throughout history. I believe them when they say they’re Christians. ---

But these people are acting the same way many many Christians have alway acted. And wouldn’t the definition of “Christian” just be that they believe Jesus is real and was sent to redeem us? If the definition of “Christian” meant acting like Christ, the number of “real” Christians would be pretty small historically. These people are Christians, like it or not. ---

Semi-seriously, I fully expect a MAGA approved, 'Murikan, readers digest version of the Bible with all the troublesome “woke” bits stripped out, selling Jesus and Jehovah in all their most smite-y moments to be openly published. Bias? No, just ‘the good bits’ version as far as Christian Nationalists are concerned. ---

I clearly missed a post at first, because I really thought for awhile that you all were arguing if Trump and his family were Christians. And I learned that porcupines can climb trees! As far as a video about Trump, I almost think you’d have to wait till he dies and his influence has faded, because you’re never going to get some people to talk freely while he can sue them or send threats their way. ---

Who decides what the “will of the Father” is? I’m pretty sure the “fake” Christians all believe they are doing the will of the Father. They may not be your particular flavor of Christian, but they believe in the Divinity of Christ and call themselves Christian…they’re Christians. Sure, they’re ugly and hateful, but there’s plenty of ugly stuff in their holy book.
