18, July 2019 Trump & evangelicals
Sycophancy has sunk to a new low. Rejecting the wonderful teachings of the Bible, Ralph Reed, the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s founder and chairman, has pledged his support to his new savior, “There has never been anyone who has defended us and who has fought for us, who we have loved more than Donald J. Trump.” No one!” Really? I wonder how the 22 women he has abused and the scores of business contractors he has stiffed would respond. Reed seems to be tone deaf to the weeping children snatched away from their parents at the US/Mexico border.
Who are these evangelical Christians? How can they blindly follow the anti-Christ who has violated or scorned the basic tenets of Christianity? This is the man who has mocked people of color and embraced falsehood. Senator Sanders describes Trump as a pathological liar. According to “fact checker” Trump has issued 10,796 lies in 869 days.
How is it possible that Americans who insisted that character and personal integrity were of paramount importance during Bill Clinton’s presidency turn a blind eye to the ethical and moral transgressions of Donald Trump, and also constantly defend him? How can these evangelicals who promote family values continue to support a man who has such a sordid history sexual misconduct?
Why are his supporters so eager to overlook Trump’s warm cozy relationship with Kim Jong Un, the leader of the most grotesque regime in the world who has starved his people and persecuted Christians?
Perhaps Trump has taken “love thy enemy” too literally with his affection for other brutal regimes like Russia, Saudi Arabia (architects of 9-11), Egypt, UAE. . . .
