Letter: Why do Christians back Trump?
In a letter to the Coeur d’Alene Press, Denise Graves of Hayden Lake writes:
It is somewhere between incredulous to betrayal for some Christians to see evangelical leaders lending their endorsements to Donald Trump for President. Perhaps they are willing to overlook his chameleon-like positions on major conservative planks. Perhaps they are practicing “forgiveness” for Trump’s moral shortcomings: three marriages and numerous extramarital affairs, and bankruptcies which left his investors (but not Trump) empty-handed, even as Trump brags that he has never asked God for forgiveness. Or perhaps these Christian leaders are just more examples of Trump’s lifelong history of crony-capitalism with both Democrats & Republicans: the quid pro quo of buying favors which he boasts as part of his great skill of “dealing making.” More here.
