Mark Wingfield
There are dozens of other ways to help children around the world that will do more real good than Samaritan’s Purse and that will not give a platform to a high-profile minister in whom the spirit of truth does not reside. Franklin Graham has made himself as big a liar as Donald Trump by spouting this nonsense. One big difference is that Trump doesn’t claim to speak for God.

The GOP: Merging flag and cross
Under President Trump, the U.S. is veering “toward Christian nationalism,” said Zachary B. Wolf in CNN.com. Since January, a growing number of the administration’s actions “have blurred the lines” between church and state. Trump has created a White House Faith Office, as well as Justice Department task forces charged with targeting “anti-Christian policies” and “threats to religious liberty.” His budget office has said workers can now “bring religion into the workplace,” while his IRS has said churches can endorse political candidates without sacrificing their tax-exempt status. This embrace of Christian nationalism was on stark display at Charlie Kirk’s memorial, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth evoked “the blood of Jesus” and spoke of “a spiritual war” underway, and Trump aide Stephen Miller said the administration is “on the side of God” and will defeat “the forces of wickedness.” The clear message, said Stephanie McCrummen in The Atlantic, is that the administration views its “political agenda as a cosmic battle against the forces of evil.”
