Katherine Stewart says that a "recent trifecta of religiously themed Trump controversies" "exposes the nature of the so-called religion that animates the Christian nationalist movement that has sustained Trump in power." The trifecta: his attack on the pope, his Trump-as-Jesus AI meme, and Hegseth's slip in quoting Quentin Tarantino as the bible.

"Many theologians and lay Christians argue that this kind of bloodthirsty religion isn’t recognizably Christian. … If we look at this as a numbers game, the trouble for Trump is likely on the Catholic side. Over 80 per cent of white evangelicals voted for Trump, but the evangelical vote is concentrated in deep red districts where MAGA can afford to lose a few votes." #PopeLeo #Trump #WhiteChristianNationalism #WhiteEvangelials #Catholics /5
