    The records we do have, reliable or not, show what they should be following. Certain versions of the source material even set his words in a different color for clarification. They do not follow these super basic teachings of “be kind to everyone”, “be kind to strangers to your land especially since you were once strangers”, “don’t listen to people who try to lead with fear mongering”, “help those who are less fortunate instead of following fortune”, etc

    We can debate the reliability of the sources for the teachings but that is the standard they themselves say they follow. And they do not.

      Things the character of jesus did in the bible:

      • treating non Jewish people worse than Jewish people.
      • break up families
      • encourage followers to anoint him in perfume instead of giving to the poor.

      Looks like trumps following Jesus’s actions pretty well.
