Trump with Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images During a long, discouraging day of looking at the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization from various angles, I tried to ignore the fatuous things being said by politicians, though I knew that what the Court had done was to put the subject of reproductive rights in their unclean hands.
Now it’s no secret that Trump is religiously illiterate, despite the constant ministrations of conservative evangelical advisors, supporters and vice presidents. But this is perhaps the most inappropriate invocation of the divine will since the legendary prayer of a U.S. Army chaplain during the Vietnam War beseeching the Almighty for a good body count.
Today, Donald Trump delivered his end of the bargain he made with Republican elites and voters years ago. Support me despite my corruption, my gross personal failings and transgressions, and my persistent debasement of the presidency, and I’ll do your bidding on the issue closest to your hearts: abortion.
So it stands to reason that in attributing his victory to God in the Fox interview, Trump is engaging in the blasphemous identification of his will with God’s. This is not, sad to say, a new thing.
