Christianity Today v. Trump

In Defying the Odds, we discuss cultural reasons for Trump's victory. His evangelical support has received much attention. But it came at a cost, both to the GOP and to American Christianity.

Trump doesn’t read the Bible, doesn’t go to church, doesn’t act or think like a Christian, and doesn’t read CT - but he has seen ET. https://t.co/ZJg4qd4dfR

I'm going to reiterate how hilariously un-self-aware this is.

Trump's response to Christianity Today's harsh moral critique is transactional: I'm giving you a good deal, so shut up about my corruption!

With Franklin Graham attacking Christianity Today, I’m re-upping this piece, demonstrating the different standards he applies to Trump. This piece earned me a petition campaign from the American Family Association condemning my “yellow journalism.” https://t.co/b9S7hc4nVr

More troubling are the ones who have walked away from Jesus because they think Trump will better protect America. This one (and this is only part of it) is extreme but not much of an outlier: 3/ pic.twitter.com/xQ4fARoLLb
