Another Trump Crime: Zealots in High Office

JAMES A. HAUGHT – Back in 2003, in a top-secret international phone call, President George W. Bush urged French President Jacques Chirac to join America in invading Iraq on grounds that Christian nations must thwart the Satanic forces of Gog and Magog. Chirac was baffled by such crackpottery.

Religious kooks in high office are an absurd facet of the Republican Trump administration.
