Letter: Trump is epitome of corruption

I cannot see how “good fruit” can come out of corruption. Donald J. Trump is the epitome of corruption, a crime boss in political power. As I read recently, “Don’t forget: Among other indictments, Trump was convicted in a scheme to make hush-money payments to a porn star who had an affair with him while he was married to his third wife, who had just given birth to their son.”

This is not “fake” news. It, however, is the kind of information about a politician that would normally bring harsh condemnation from Christians of every ilk, especially evangelicals.

Surely, evangelicals have doubts about such allegiance. Why not make a break from this illogical and embarrassing point of view that is impossible to defend? You’re Christians! You say you love Jesus. Can you imagine, for example, any of the teachings of Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount illustrating the behavior, the attitudes, the words of Donald Trump?
