From the earliest days of his presidential ambitions, Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters have been the so-called “evangelicals”<\/em> who profess to be devout disciples of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They have packed his rallies, raised millions of dollars, and voted with the blind loyalty of a glassy-eyed cult. They provided a base of political support that benefited from the unshakeable faith that only religion can muster.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

However, there are now some rumblings of discontent in the pews. Politico is reporting<\/a><\/strong> that some in the evangelical community are becoming uncomfortable with “Trump\u2019s penchant for profanity,”<\/em> despite the fact that it has been there for decades:<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s indelicate language has frustrated religious fans who have otherwise been staunch supporters of his agenda. They agree with his social policies, praise his appointment of conservative judges and extol his commitment to Israel \u2014 often tolerating Trump\u2019s character flaws for the continued advancement of all three. But when it comes to ‘using the Lord\u2019s name in vain,’ as Hardesty put it, ‘the president\u2019s evangelical base might be far less forgiving.'”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Seriously? Naughty words are what is triggering the Trump faithful? Apparently they have no problem with Trump being on his third wife, breaching vows to God to be bound “until death do us part.”<\/em> They aren’t troubled by his serial infidelity, including dalliances with porn stars while his wife was home nursing his newborn. They look past his lies and payoffs to cover up his sinfulness. And speaking of lies, they don’t seem to be bothered that he has told more than 12,000<\/a><\/strong> of them just since his inauguration.<\/p>\n

What’s more, while fainting at the sound of obscenities, these willfully blind believers have shown no concern for the caging of children, the blatant racism, the prideful boasting, the infantile and wrathful name-calling, the love letters exchanged with murderous dictators, the flagrant disrespect for the law, the determination to befoul the planet, the obsession with terminating healthcare for millions, and the ignorance of nearly everything, including the bible.<\/p>\n

Early on Trump pretended to be a devout Christian solely for political gain. Never mind that his entire life has been a monument to lust, greed, and the rest of the seven deadly sins. When he was asked by Republican “Word Doctor”<\/em> Frank Luntz, if he had ever asked God for forgiveness, Trump replied that he didn’t need to because he has never done anything wrong. No, really! He said that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“I like to work where I don\u2019t really have to ask for it. I like to do the right thing where I don\u2019t actually have to ask for forgiveness. Does that make sense to you? You know, where you don\u2019t make such bad things that you don\u2019t have to ask for forgiveness. I mean, I\u2019m trying to lead a life where I don\u2019t have to ask God for forgiveness. [\u2026] Why do I have to repent? Why do I have to ask for forgiveness if you\u2019re not making mistakes?”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That, of course, shows that Trump not only has a perversely delusional self-image, but he also has a painfully misguided interpretation of the tenets of his own alleged Presbyterian faith, including “original sin,”<\/em> wherein all are born with sin and require God’s forgiveness for salvation.<\/p>\n

The Politico article notes that some of Trump’s most annoyingly pious “spiritual”<\/em> backers are not worried about his profane utterances. “We all wish he would be a little more careful with his language,”<\/em> said Jerry Falwell Jr, “but it\u2019s not anything that\u2019s a deal breaker, and it\u2019s not something we\u2019re going to get morally indignant about.”<\/em> And Fox News contributor Alveda King said that “she\u2019s inclined to extend grace to the president when he swears or makes inappropriate comments.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, isn’t that special? Funny that they don’t extend the same measure of “grace”<\/em> to Democrats or liberals. In fact, last week the top story on the Fox News website<\/a><\/strong> was a condemnation of Democrats for using obscenities following a heartbreaking week of mass shootings. Naturally, it ignored Trump’s rampant ravings replete with rude rhetoric reserved exclusively for personal insults.<\/p>\n

That’s the sort of hypocrisy that is to be expected from Fox News and the Trump Cult. And while there are a few voices of sanity<\/a><\/strong>, don’t expect things to change any time soon. Their eyes are so glazed over that they can’t see the depths of their delusion or of Trump’s reprehensible dishonesty and deception. These are the people who claim to be God’s messengers. And they’re the same people who insisted that Barack Obama was the anti-Christ.<\/p>\n
