"It’s one reason why Pete Hegseth’s accidental delivery of the gospel according to Quentin Tarantino, mistakenly quoting Pulp Fiction rather than Ezekiel, registered so widely: it laid bare that the Christianity of Trump and his circle is, like the decor at Mar-a-Lago, gaudy and fake."

"It makes perfect sense that it is the pope who has emerged as the anti-Trump, because Trump represents the polar opposite of Christianity. He has little regard for the poor, but reveres the rich. When he speaks of faith, he means self-belief – confidence in his own greatness."

"Mr. Trump didn't just happen to America. He was elected, twice – the second time after attempting a coup.
