Theresa Dvorocsik - 4/30

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/3/26/17164268/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-bible-christian

This article was written earlier today, March 26th, by Jane Coaston, a Senior Politics Reporter at Vox news. It aims to inform people on how even Trump's worst actions are being defended by his supporters. 
In the story of King David (the same David who defeated Goliath), he is a leader beloved by all his subjects and supposedly "chosen by God". Though he was married to several women, he committed adultery with another married woman whose husband was off at war, and she got pregnant. To protect himself, he killed the woman's husband. In consequence, David's son with the woman was killed, and he repented for his sins. And there's the difference: Trump has publicly stated that he should not have to ask forgiveness for his actions when he has done nothing wrong. How people are defending Trump's actions with this story reflects major hypocrisy and I just don't understand it. These are the people that are self-proclaimedly so devoted to God and attached to their morals that they should be doing good in the world, not defending evil. As a non-religious person, I can't speak with lots of experience on this, but in my opinion, nobody who's a true, devoted Christian and follows the principles of the Bible would defend a man who's done as many terrible things as Trump
