I am compelled to write to you about the alarming and ongoing pattern of cheating and dishonesty that President Donald Trump has exhibited throughout his life. This pattern extends across his personal life, his business dealings, and even his so-called charitable foundation, casting deep doubts on his fitness to lead our nation. Cheating at Golf Reports from numerous golf courses indicate that Trump routinely cheats even at golf, a game often associated with honor and integrity. He has been accused of moving his ball to improve his lie, ignoring the rules, and using unfair tactics to gain an advantage, revealing a disregard for fairness even in leisure. Cheating on His Wives and Paying for Silence Trump’s history with his wives is marked by numerous well-documented instances of infidelity. During his marriage to Ivana Trump, he was known to have had affairs, including the highly publicized relationship with Marla Maples, whom he later married. His marriage to Marla Maples also involved allegations of cheating. Most notoriously, during his marriage to Melania Trump, Trump paid hush money to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, to conceal an extramarital affair during his 2016 presidential campaign. This payment was made illegally, violating campaign finance laws and exposing a pattern of deceit and cover-up. Business Fraud and Deceptive Practices Trump’s business empire has long been dogged by allegations of fraud and unethical behavior. His companies have been sued multiple times for deceptive marketing practices, non-payment of contractors, and outright fraud. The Trump University scandal, where students were defrauded of millions, is just one glaring example. Trump Foundation Scandal The Trump Foundation was shut down after investigations revealed it was used as a personal slush fund. The foundation illegally funneled money to settle legal disputes, buy portraits of Trump himself, and support political campaigns—all clear violations of charitable organization laws. Trump was ordered to pay $2 million in damages as part of the settlement. Supporting and excusing someone who has committed such fraud and deceit runs counter to the teachings of Jesus Christ. As Proverbs 11:1 says, “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.” Supporting dishonesty and fraud is not only a political failure but a moral one. This relentless pattern of cheating and dishonesty is not just about personal moral failings—it undermines the rule of law and erodes public trust in the presidency. How can we expect integrity from a leader who has repeatedly shown contempt for truth and fairness? I urge you to weigh these facts carefully and consider what they reveal about President Trump’s character and suitability to serve. Our country deserves leadership grounded in honesty and respect for the law.
