OPINION PAGE:

. . .I think of Trump as, persistently,

a kind of pagan or heathen figure,

much more than he is a Christian

figure.  Not withstanding the attempts

to claim him as a kind of King David

or Emperor Constantine.  .  . The

bargain for religious conservatives

with Trump is for protection and support.

A transactional bargain.  . .Particular

steps Trump-Vance administration has

taken are anti-Christian. . .the way in

which the foreign aid programs were

reshuffled and cut off was a failure of

Christian duty. . .
