It boggles the mind that any Christian can support Donald Trump. Literally everything Trump does runs directly counter to Christ’s explicit teachings. But, for hardcore evangelicals, it seems praising a blasphemous, self-centered idolator is acceptable so long as he cracks down on women, the LGBTQ community, ethnic minorities, and supports Israel.
Now, with the Middle East in flames after the U.S. and Israel’s bombing of Iran and their subsequent retaliation, that rhetoric has cranked up a notch. Trump has just been upgraded from a noble leader to a genuine spiritual figure with the personal endorsement of Christ himself.
