Evangelical support for Trump doesn’t seem very Christian | READER COMMENTARY

I’ve heard on major news outlets that the vast majority of Christian evangelicals support former President Donald Trump (“Dan Rodricks: Digging into the roots of evangelical support for Trump,” Jan. 23).

This is very confusing to me. I was always taught that an evangelical’s beliefs were strongly grounded in right above wrong, hope for the hopeless and working to help the misbegotten. It is a conundrum to find that millions of them can support a candidate who slept with a porn star while his own wife was pregnant and then paid for her silence on the matter to keep his supporters from finding out.

Doesn’t an evangelical ask a higher power to guide them any more?
