Pardon the Interruption
I've spent the last six years scratching my head, trying to figure out why some evangelical Christians are following a man who’s about as far from a model of piety as you can get. Some evangelicals have gone so far as to defend the former president, even claiming he’s God’s chosen one, like King David. Sure, King David had his flaws—maybe even a few that resemble Trump's—but let's not forget that Jesus warned us about false prophets in his Sermon on the Mount. And didn't Jesus toss out the moneychangers who were making a profit in the Temple? Yet, conservative Christians seem to turn a blind eye to Trump's shortcomings because they see him as a champion of their causes.
While scrolling through X, I stumbled upon groups like Evangelicals For Harris, Vote Common Good, and The New Evangelicals. These folks aren’t buying the idea that Trump is God’s chosen one, nor are they making excuses for his many flaws. Instead, they’re shining a light on the real Trump—the convicted felon, grifter, and con artist that he is. Let's be clear: He’s no King David. Not even close. He’s just Donald J. Trump, with a rap sheet longer than a Pharisee’s prayer shawl.
