Typical abusive business owner who needs to repent. Some business owners are good people though which I have witnessed. But a lot of them are controlling and aggressive.

To be honest, Trump would probably have his awful traits irrespective of his job. He would still be a narcissist if he were a mechanic, engineer, or chef. The issue is his personality.
Masons corrupt everything that they touch. Donald Trump is among other things, a real estate developer in the NYC metro area, a builder and no doubt knows the hand shake.
No one in metro area construction has clean hands and all are part of the network of corruption.
When he was young, Trump found himself on the front page of the daily news, long Island press, and new York post with his spoiled rich kid antics. Nothing much has changed.
What do you think of Senator John Kennedy? I never heard of him before the hearings for this new justice nominee, but I'm impressed with what I've seen about him on line.
He's a folksy sort of southerner (which doesn't impress many well) but struck me as sharp and honest (for a politician. )
There's even video footage of an interview with him from years before his run where he was questioned about running for president and which party he would seek nomination from. He replied that he'd probably run as a republican because they were "stupid" and easily manipulated.
He has a demonstrated disdain for Puerto Ricans also, but I think he just looks down on everyone.

I don’t know much about him, so I don’t have an opinion yet. I’ve seen in on Fox News a few times but that is about it.
Ted Cruz seems like a good nominee. I know plenty about him, being a Texan myself. He is smart, well-spoken, and has good conservative principles. I admit his unctuously fanatical pro-Israel position isn’t something particularly amusing, given that Israel currently has a poor human rights track record with the way they treat their Christian minorities. Israel isn’t an exclusive Jewish-only state, and Christian Israelis frequently suffer abuse at the hands of nationalists. They get away with it because the Israeli culture is tribal.

Not every Republican is perfect, including Cruz. But he is good on everything else.

I believe it. I also heard that he mocked pro-lifers for believing his fake pro-life position (which he feigned for political purposes), calling us stupid for supporting the Bible’s teachings on life.
You're not wrong, but I worked for the Port Authority through two terrorist attacks, both the work of radical jihadists.
What the news was reluctant to post after the second attack was that Osama Bin Ladin and the Taliban were trained by our CIA as insurgents and terrorists during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.
I've read most of the Quran as an English translation and as a written work it is directly opposed to Christ and promotes the murder of infidels. Mohammed himself was a brigand who lead his followers to pillage towns forcing conversions at sword point, and having infidels beheaded.
Modern Islam has softened to focus on peace and mercy, even changing the meaning of Jihad, but their fundamentalists still want to convert the world and the radicals still lop off heads.
An ISIS group in Iraq (or maybe Syria) gathered Christian children from one town and left a pile of heads of those children who wouldn't denounce christ as a message to the locals. This was reported through the voice of the martyrs, a Christian organization that exposes atrocities committed against Christians all over the world.
I did like Ted, but recently he's been playing typical partisan politics and distorting the truth. I haven't seen a lot of honesty in politics, so I appreciate it when I hear it.
I'm old enough to remember John F. Kennedy, but the only president that seemed like a faithful Christian was Jimmy Carter, and he was an awful president.
Christianity and politics don't mix well. I found George W. Bush a sincere man in his speech, but his foreign policy just made the military industrial complex the strongest its been since the end of WWII.
The world is under the dominion of the evil one and politics is of the world.
Don't underestimate the power and influence of DOD contractors. When our wars were winding down, their profits were shrinking. Politicians with DOD industry in their districts always support arms sales and "just" wars.
Before I was discharged from the USAF, I was offered a job interview with a company called Ultrasystems. I never heard of them and wasn't looking for a job yet, but I went for the interview. They were one of many DOD contractors involved in space systems, weapons systems and similar technologies. I interviewed with a manager in their security systems division. They were interested in hiring me to install and test advanced security systems with automated armed response, that's both targeting and firing upon incursions. This was back in 1985. I was told that most of their business was in the Arab Emirates and the systems were designed to be operated by someone with a sixth grade education.
Everyone on the floor where I interviewed was in US military uniforms, mostly USAF officers and noncoms. I was also told that I'd have to transfer to the Air National Guard as a job requirement, to keep my secret clearance.
At the close of my interview, I expressed my thanks but declined. I served out of a sense of Patriotism, and knew then that our next war would be in the middle east, but never wanted to be part of the military industrial complex. I grew up in Levittown, a short drive from a huge Grummans Aerospace facility and not far from a Martin-Marietta factory. These companies prefer to hire skilled labor from the military for a number of reasons, but such companies thrive on war.
In the first month of the war in Ukraine there was over a billion dollars in weapons sales just on the Ukranian side.
When it's over there will be lucrative construction contracts to restore the infrastructure. These always go to the same groups of contractors and all have political connections.
This is how the world has worked for a hundred years if not longer.

But of the three jobs you mentioned, the engineer would most likely be a Mason (though my great uncle Munoz was a chef who built a line of "carnecerias" (butcher shops) and was a Mason (according to my father.)
In my former public job, I was familiar with a number of electronic and civil engineers. There were a lot of special handshakes exchanged at the Port Authority engineering department.
This was my point. Our CIA created these militant groups in much the same way they create Manchurian candidates via MK Ultra.
For me, I weigh someone in the balance, and Trump comes out far ahead of Biden regarding governing policies, as does the republican party come out far ahead of the democrat party.
It all depends what you want, and I dont want what the democrat party is doing to the country.
Your not going to find a perfect candidate, but you weigh them in the balance and make a choice, because not choosing means a vote for the other (badder) guy
Like Christ said, if your not with me, your against me.
And if you dont gather with him, then you scatter.
That is the wisdom from God and it is the same principle idea in politics.

Many conservatives make the "lesser of two evils" argument. They will admit that Trump has his problems and defects of character, but having the Democrats in power would be far worse. I don't necessarily disagree with this idea, but I'm from Texas, a solidly red state. No matter who I vote for, my state will go Republican in national elections. So for me, being from TX, I don't feel the need to make this decision of voting for the lesser of two evils; I'm not from a swing-state.

An ever bigger problem is that so many of his supporters staunchly defend him because of his personality.
The Rep party does not represent Christ or speak for Christ any more than Dems do. Rom. 1:20-32 describes the modern Rep party just as much as it does the modern Dem party, so you are not using any biblical metric when you say the Rep party is "far ahead" of the Dem party. You are using your own standards, which are completely irrelevant. Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom is not of this world, which means there isn't a single political party in this world that is truly representing His interests, no matter how many religious people they can con into supporting them.
Since the Democratic party is the party of Satan (their agenda being to steal, kill, and destroy) while the Republican party is the party of cowards, there is a huge difference right there. The issue is not as to who represents Christ but who represents Satan and his demons. There's no "Democratic party" any more. It is the Communist/Fascist/Anarchist/Racist/Demonic party of America with one main objective -- Destroy America and Americans.
BTW Trump is not defended because of his personality (which is only abrasive to Leftists and Communists because he calls them out) but because he had a solid platform to "Make America Great Again". Evidently many do not even know what was in his platform and what he accomplished, because the sick and lying mainstream media made sure that nothing positive about Trump would ever make the headlines. So you need to do your due diligence, especially after seeing what Joe Biden has done to destroy America.
So the Democrats want a BLACK WOMAN in the Supreme Court who cannot define what a woman is. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The understanding relevance is here specifically in v2
1 Timothy 2
New King James Version
Pray for All Men
1 Therefore I [a]exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
Christian people need to support politicians who allow for the more peaceful life and QUIET in godliness and reverence that Christians desire.
Something the democratic progressive socialists DO NOT promote and are actually antagonistic against Christian morals.
the Republican party policies do promote more godly living. This cannot be denied, democrats truly evil policies are designed against this peaceful and godly lifestyle policies for America's Christians.
No one is saying Republicans party is pure Christianity. But their policies align more closely with allowing for our godly living in a very evil world system of governance.
