TheChristmas spirit has blown over the White House. Donald Trump way. In gusts. After insulting his share of Democrats, assured that the President ("Speaker") of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, lost her teeth, and mocked the widow of a legendary legislator of the Congress who died in February, the president of the United States attacked, Friday, December 20, the editor of 'a venerable Christian review, Christianity Today, founded in 1956 by the Protestant preacher Billy Graham.
Mark Galli, a Presbyterian intellectual who became a member of the Anglican Church in North America, had published the day before a harsh editorial calling for the president's departure from the fact of the Ukrainian affair that led to his indictment. The case came out of a telephone conversation in which Donald Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate his opponents, delaying an invitation to the White House and freezing military aid to obtain satisfaction.
After admonishing the Democrats for an excessive aggression, the pastor concluded in his editorial that the president "Tried to use his political power to force a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of his opponents", in this case former Vice President Joe Biden, whom he could face in November 2020. "It’s not just a violation of the Constitution, had judged Mark Galli, more importantly, it’s deeply immoral. "
Who believes in the scriptures must believe in Trump
It is unclear which of the two charges most exasperated Donald Trump. The fact remains that the next day he raised his troops on his Twitter account by thundering against a man of faith who he said would prefer "May your president be a disbeliever of the radical left, who would attack your religion and your weapons, rather than Donald Trump".
The part of the American religious right which concluded a pact with it that history will judge had the expected gagging. The son of Billy Graham thus affirmed, to reassure the president, that the editorial had been written by a lost, presumed member of "The leftist elite in the evangelical community", either a deviating current which "Certainly does not represent the segment of the evangelical community that believes in the Bible." The excommunication was not far away.
Because for this right, who believes in the Scriptures must believe in Donald Trump. Without prudence, without reserve, nor fear of the enormities. It was this logic that led an elected Republican from Georgia to assure, in the House of Representatives the day of the vote of the two articles of the impeachment of the president, Wednesday, that Jesus Christ facing Pontius Pilate had been entitled to "A fairer trial".
