Trump Frames Election as Battle Against ‘Wicked’ System

“Donald Trump often characterizes his presidential campaign as a battle for America’s future. But speaking at a Christian broadcast media convention in Nashville on Thursday, he wrapped that depiction within a stark good-versus-evil framework, portraying his political opponents as part of a ‘wicked’ system,” the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “Christians, they can’t afford to sit on the sidelines in this fight.”

He later added, without offering evidence, that liberals were persecuting Christians because “they know that our allegiance is not to them. Our allegiance is to our country, and our allegiance is to our creator.”
