Why we don't like Donald Trump and what that means for the church

So, I realize I’m using the Royal "We" here. Obviously, some people like Donald Trump, because he’s polling quite well. As the days go on, he keeps managing to be resilient through one political disaster after another, and it’s getting a little scary. After we stop styling our cat’s hair with his coif, the looming question remains: Could Trump actually become president?

The prophet of Charisma Magazine has decided that Trump will become the Lord's Trumpet. He will expose our nation’s perversion. (I’m not sure what the magazine assumes is perversion. Do they mean the fact that thousands of people are now have sex inside a loving covenant blessed by God and community? Are they referring to marriage equality, which could have the dastardly effect of making LGBTQ unions as boring as straight ones?)

Anyways, this prophecy aside, I think most of the dear readers here at the venerable Christian Century are probably rather horrified by the idea of Donald Trump as president.
