So many have wondered about their motivation

It seems completely contidictratory to the generally prerecognized precept of the Christian Church. In his first election and again in his last, there remained a constant ninch that Trump could count on. Christians. But not all Christians. There are many Chrinstans who also wonder about his demographic that calls itself Christian. I hear themsay, who are these brothern that can justify supporting him after the lives, the stolen money, sex with countless women who he casts off and often makes fun of? Who mocks the cripled and makes derogatory statements about wounded veterans?

These days he is selling bibles autographed — $59.99 gets you a Trump bible. Proceeds go to pay his legal fees related to the many indictments that are a result of behaviors of a man unbecoming of Presidential Material.

Not all are happy: One such Paster, Reverand Benjamin Cremer says:

“It is a bankrupt Christianity that sees a demagogue co-opting our faith and even our holy scriptures for the sake of his own pursuit of power and praise him for it rather than insist that we refuse to allow our sacred faith and scriptures to become a mouthpiece for an empire,” said Rev. Benjamin Cremer on X.
