One of the most perplexing subplots of Donald Trump’s Soap Opera Presidency is the devotion he is shown by Christian evangelicals for a pathological lying, serial adulterer and sexual predator, who is greedy, lazy, prideful, gluttonous, profane, vengeful, and stuffs all of those faults into a wrapper of infantile egocentrism.<\/p>\n

The religious right has long demonstrated that they are way too eagerly willing to abandon their principles in exchange for some rewarding political bone to chew on. But even so, Trump seemed like too long a stretch for people who allegedly aspire to higher morals. That turned out not to true. The evangelical community found ways to ignore Trump’s failings and embrace him as one of their own, despite his life of public irreligiosity.<\/p>\n

However, there may now be a small crack opening up in the spiritual dam. The popular evangelical magazine, Christianity Today, (founded by Billy Graham) just published an opinion piece calling for Trump to impeached<\/a><\/strong> and removed from office. They did not mince words either. Addressing the recent impeachment of Trump, CT’s editor in chief Mark Galli wrote that…<\/p>\n

“…the facts in this instance are unambiguous: The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president\u2019s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Galli went on to enumerate some of Trump’s more egregious sins, such as his association with “people who are now convicted criminals,”<\/em> as well as his “immoral actions in business and his relationship with women.”<\/em> Galli described Trump as “a near perfect example of a human being who is morally lost and confused,”<\/em> with a “grossly immoral character.”<\/em> And Galli implored his readers to…<\/p>\n

“Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr. Trump\u2019s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don\u2019t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come?”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, Trump didn’t wait long to condemn the magazine in stark, personal, and as always for Trump, dishonest terms:<\/p>\n

….have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President. No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it\u2019s not even close. You\u2019ll not get anything from those Dems on stage. I won\u2019t be reading ET again!<\/p>\n
