3 reasons why Wayne Grudem is wrong about supporting Donald Trump (and you might be too)

2.  Grudem assumes that this fictional candidate will have the best possible positions in spite of what he’s said about those very positions.

David, once again, explains the juxtaposition between the real Trump’s positions and the ones Grudem puts forth:

If I go by Trump’s words and actions, he’ll raise taxes, implement touchback amnesty, support government-run health care, appoint pro-abortion judges, fund Planned Parenthood, order troops to commit war crimes, try to defeat ISIS with Exxon, destroy American credit, radically increase the deficit, cede NATO countries to Russia, abuse eminent domain, restrict First Amendment rights, start trade wars, retweet white nationalists, support gender-neutral bathrooms, inflame racial tensions, and traffic in absurd conspiracy theories. Trump himself has made the case that he’d be a disastrous president.

But Grudem dismisses these actual concerns, says that “The most likely result of voting for Trump is that he will govern the way he promises to do, bringing much good to the nation.”  He completely ignores the fact that Trump lies so frequently that you never know if he’s coming or going.

Instead, he just assumes that out of all of positions that he’s put forth, that surely Trump will pick the right ones when the moment comes.  (Even though — in some circumstances — he’s never espoused any “right ones.”)
