Ordained by God- Politics & Religion

 The Washington Post story on 14 January 2024 quotes a Trump supporter and reveals insight into the American evangelical mind.

Understanding American evangelical morality can be tricky because the personal sins of the widely supported candidate are aside based on his perceived victory in defeating the national sin of abortion, which no previous candidate could accomplish.



This great act trumps other issues. This righteous win cloaks the winner with robes of justice that shine more brightly than those of the contenders. The plethora of legal challenges intensifies the spotlight on the man "ordained by God."

The integration of faith and politics is summed up in a supporter's t-shirt: "Jesus in My Savior: Trump is My President." Jesus is on the cross within the red and white stripes of the American flag. Trump is on the blue field surrounded by the stars.
