Christianity without kindness is a Trump-family tradition. ed_kilgore writes
Dad is the way. Photo: Eva Marie Uzcategui/Getty Images In this season usually characterized by widespread longing for peace, kindness, charity, and reconciliation, Donald Trump Jr. has faithfully reflected his own family tradition of disrespecting such wussy sentiments, as former George W. Bush adviser Peter Wehner reports in The Atlantic:
Junior’s rejection of one of the central teachings of Christianity is reminiscent of his father’s citation of “an eye for an eye” as his very favorite Bible adage. Indeed, it was by way of repudiating the 45th president’s motto that Jesus articulated the very teaching Trump the Younger dislikes : That “hasn’t worked” for conservatives, so it’s disposable, along with other “soft” Christian teachings like forgiveness , equality, the nobility of those suffering from poverty or disabilities, and a holy fear of self-righteousness.
