Trump as America’s Post‑Christian President

A single interview clip — where Trump says he cannot forgive some enemies — can be read as evidence that a major U.S. leader has publicly abandoned a central Christian moral practice (forgiveness). If true, that refusal signals a shift in how political legitimacy is justified: from shared religious-moral vocabulary to personal honor and grievance. — If a leading politician publicly rejects core religious virtues, it changes how faith communities, civic culture, and rival parties negotiate moral authority and political accountability.
