WASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - About half of evangelical Christians - a core component of President Donald Trump's political base - believe his administration's approach to the Iran war and immigration enforcement is not in line with their understanding of Christianity, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Overall, Trump's approval rating among evangelicals stood at 52% in the latest poll, down from 61% in August but well above his 35% approval rating among all U.S. adults.
Evangelical Christian Sandy Miller, 63, said she wouldn't vote for him again if she had the opportunity. She lives in Worthington, Indiana, a small town of roughly 1,400, and takes care of a 24-year-old daughter whose home-healthcare Medicaid benefits were cut under Trump.
But more than her financial situation, she said her faith influences who she votes for. She said that Trump is probably a Christian but doesn't show it.

Zero sympathy...you "welfare cheat and welfare cheating daughter". That's what people of working age who collect benefits are. Your maga mango Mussolini said so.

(25,196 posts)Hey, Sandy! Kindly point out 5 things Trump has done that demonstrates he's a Christian.
Frankly, I'd settle for 2 or 3 but I know you won't find even one thing in Trump's life that is "Christian."
I've reluctantly heard all about Trump since the 1970s. He is the embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins and I don't doubt that he's invented two or three more.
Sandy, please wake up and see reality. Trump is not a Christian.

He would love that kind of subservience, except for the standing part, because he's lazy and has to do everything sitting down.

(3,399 posts)Not very Christian-like to me. How can anyone see or hear anything about that man and think he's in any way even remotely Christian? Is it because they don't want to see? Or they willfully believe whatever whoever tells them? Or they're just plain flat out ignorant?
It boggles my little mind.
And of course, they don't care about whatever damage or hurt DJT does to anyone else; it's only when it affects them personally do they turn against him.
