I have had to lock my door, draw my curtains, and hide in my bedroom, from some of my dear religious friends and family.
They are so enamored with Trump, that they idolize him. One of the things I think the Bible commands against. I will not be surprised to see the roaring lions pics, with fist raised and bloodied face, get replaced with those of him walking on water.

Idolizing anyone is a bad business. It's religiously WRONG for Christian types to do so, at a minimum. It's also dangerous, because when that "idol" gets taken out, the religiously fanatic worshipers of that idol will often do bad, untoward things in their ecstatic frenzies.
I personally think THAT is why the Bible warns against it. Not that it's bad for GOD, because after all, what would an actual God care? But that it is bad for the humans engaged in it, and everyone else around them, since it will lead them to do despicable things.
