Trump vs. God! – Who's going to win that argument?!

About this episode

The episode discusses the religious claims of Trump and the implications of his actions on his support base.

For a President who CLAIMS he’s religious, there's a whooooole lot of blasphemy going on under Trump’s second term. Not only has he compared himself to Jesus, but he’s also been picking fights with the Pope. Is that losing him support, or are his supporters still following him blindly? Chris and Jarv speak with returning guest Peter Wehner, a senior fellow at the Trinity Forum, writer for The Atlantic, and former Republican speechwriter.
