The verse refers to money, but in light of today’s debate about the unaccountable devotion many Christian leaders have for President Trump it is not a stretch to apply it to their relationship with him."

I think I have been quite strict in my critique of Trump. But if you ask me "do you disapprove or approve of his job in office" that is a very different question.

1. It has nothing to do with Mueller who has not brought a single charge against him.

2. It has nothing to do with Stormy Daniels who has not alleged a single incident while Trump has been president. Nothing to do with Cohen.

These polls are easy to manipulate and it is quite obvious that the "fake news" is attempting to discredit christians. Not only do they insinuate that approval for Trump's job equates to approval for his behavior prior to being president. They also slide over the fact that these polls identified "white evangelicals" obviously different from red, black, brown and yellow evangelicals. Yet they don't mention that this only refers to about 6% of those who identify as evangelical.

The real poll is the Roy Moore election -- clearly Trump's base which is supposed to be quite strong there did not respond to him. The real poll will be in November.
