During prayers at an Easter lunch event, White-Cain a senior adviser to the White House Faith Office who is also a minister said Trump is the "greatest champion of faith ever seen in a president". His attempted assassination that almost cost his life; false accusations resulting in his arrest due to betrayal is comparing him to Jesus and His crucifixion.

Billy Graham's son Franklin who was there said "you raised him up for such a time as this. Father we pray you will give him victory".

This comes after Pope Leo said "God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have hands full of blood".

I’ve increasingly wondered if the USA is too big to govern. In many ways, the cultures of the south and north reflect belief systems seen pre civil war

It is still a relatively young country too. Maybe they just haven't managed to grow up yet- certainly Trump seems to embody this tendency.

Both very interesting and pertinent points.

I remember one of my first managers in the 1970s describing something as a monolithic polyglot. It's a description which has always stayed with me. This now applies to more to computers but he meant one country or organisation all speaking with different voices.
