It's really difficult to realize, much less articulate, just how much toxic damage Trump has wrought in the hearts and minds of the people on the political and religious right. Of course, they themselves are unable to recognize it, but devotion and loyalty to Trump have cost them their moral conscience, their mental capacity to reason and, yes, the forfeiture of their humanity. The unconscionable conduct, egregious crimes and attacks on civility committed by Trump on a daily (even hourly) basis that conservatives are willing to excuse and even laud stagger the imagination.

This is especially true for people calling themselves Christians.

Donald Trump has made a mockery of the office of president. He treats the Oval Office like a lavatory. His brain registers zero respect or reverence for the office. He degrades and humiliates the office day in and day out. There has never been a man in the White House who publicly profanes the name of God and insults the conscience of America's polite society with more vulgarity and profanity than Donald J. Trump (and those around him).

If a Democrat president behaved this way, Christians would howl their displeasure. But when Trump does it, they sit passive and compliant—even turn around and try to tell us how great Christians the Trumps are. To hear them talk, Abraham, Moses, Peter and Paul are carnal degenerates compared to the spirituality of the Trumps.

Evangelicals point to the two attempted assassinations on Donald Trump as proof that Trump has some sort of divine anointing. They have forgotten that Adolf Hitler had at least forty assassination attempts on his life.

When Trump survived the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania, Trump said that God saved his life. Yes, indeed. God did just that. God has saved the life of each person reading this column—probably more than once. Every breath, every heartbeat is a gift of God.

But now, in typical emperor-speak, the Trumps have changed "God saved Trump" to "Trump saved God."
