A number of things fascinating here.
1. The very first thing Graham brings up as evidence of Trump’s success as president is the economy. Not pro life judges. Not religious liberty. The economy. Which is telling. https://twitter.com/jasonscampbell/status/1197651976596709377
3. Historically, wealth often does not lead to the growth of the church but a greater opportunity to make an idol of mammon. It doesn’t have to be that way, but any wise Christian leader should be *cautioning* people when their country is prospering. It’s dangerous.
4. I’ve heard a lot about how Christian Trump critics are just part of the evangelical elite who think they know better than everyone else etc etc. But the truth is, a lot (most?) evangelical leaders (the elite) are heavily sold on Trump. And this is a case in point.
—and the ones who *are* critical generally have been strongly pressured to keep quiet by donors, congregations, elders, etc.
5. I think a lot of Christians are grossly underestimating the damage being done right now. In some cases the damage is a deep loss of trust in elders. For others it’s an *embrace* of adversarial, pragmatic, amoral politics. Both are dangerous.
(among many, many other forms of damage caused by this administration)
