In the wake of President Trump’s waffling on white supremacy, his supporters and advisers have abandoned him in droves.
After a wave of prominent CEOs defected from the president’s Manufacturing Council and Strategy & Policy Forum, Trump decided to disband both.
On Friday morning, the entire President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities resigned.
As their joint letter to Trump declared, “Ignoring your harmful
rhetoric would have made us complicit in your words and actions.” The
first letter of each paragraph spelled “resist.”
Amid
the mass exodus, one group is somehow standing by its man: evangelical
Christians. Pastors and activists on Trump’s informal faith advisory
council have stated their unwavering support
of a man whose statements and behavior consistently clash with the
convictions they claim to hold. One has to wonder what, if anything, it
will take for these evangelicals to finally dump Trump.
