Trump Pushes Christian Nationalists Into His Cult

CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan reported on how Trump is taking advantage of Christan Nationalists to support his otherwise flailing campaign. O'Sullivan started out by interviewing two older women who were both Trump supporters. And as you might have guessed, they both had dubious thought processes:

One of the most striking came from Grace Riedinger, a Trump supporter who was wearing a "Jesus Christ '24" shirt, and did not consider that to be an exaggeration.

When O'Sullivan asked her "Is [Jesus] on the ballot?" she replied, "He's not on the ballot, but Trump is so doggone close."

The other woman, Sharon Manders, claimed that Christianity was under attack but - gee, whillickers, wouldn't you know it? - she just couldn't come up with a single example of how it was being attacked.

To add the confusion of these women is that Trump has taken to false attacks, such as the brouhaha about Easter falling on Transgender Visibility Day. He even went as far as to compare himself to Jesus Chris and to God Himself. Trump has compared his criminal prosecutions to Christ being crucified.
