The editorial is right (from the excerpts I've seen, I haven't read it), Trump is ruining the Christian brand.

In her book, The March of Folly, Barbara Tuchman spends an entire section explaining how the corruption, venality, and naked greed of the Popes in Medieval Europe led directly to the Protestant Reformation.

As an outsider, I know there are good Christians out there, but the more visible, more vocal ones are destroying the credibility of all. The bullshit prayer vigils in the Oval Office with Trump are ridiculous in the extreme. Rational people don't buy a minute of it. The thought that Trump is in any sense a "good Christian" is ludicrous.
