Ingersoll:

"They want all of the nations of the world to be Christian. They want to institute theocratic governments across the globe. They think the whole world should be Christian. This ties into their eschatology. They are what we call post-millennialists. They believe the kingdom of God was established at the resurrection, and it's the job of Christians to build it."

"And for them, that means to go all about the world and make everything Christian."

Ali:

"At the end, the end goal, for these different groups is control. And it's control for one group of people. And that one group is Christians and specifically white Christian men at the top."

"On Easter Sunday, I received an email 'alert' from the National Faith Advisory Board (NFAB), an organization led by the televangelist Paula White, a longtime friend of President Trump who is also the senior advisor to the White House Faith Office. The 'alert' came six hours after Trump’s Truth Social post threatening war crimes against Iran if the 'crazy bastards' did not 'Open the Fuckin’ Strait.'"

"While the NFAB email delivery might have been scheduled in advance, it nonetheless was jarring in the context of Trump’s vulgar and violent morning. 'Dear Faith Leader,' it read. 'This sacred weekend from the greatest platform in the free world and beyond, President Trump proclaimed the Gospel to all that could hear.' The email linked to a short video, establishing that the platform in question was not Truth Social, but the Oval Office."

"From there, Trump robotically read (and at some points strangely shouted) an Easter message about Christ’s resurrection. At points, he sounded like someone who was hearing about John 3:16 for the very first time. ...

As Trump flounders in the prosecution of his war on Iran, his evangelical loyalists are feverishly closing ranks, including during a Holy Week marked by Trump’s & Hegseth’s Christianity-infused bloodlust, which prompted papal rebukes."

"That is why they are intensifying their messaging that Trump is divine, that he is persecuted like Jesus was, that his war is destroying Iran and protecting Israel from Iranian savagery, all while igniting a Christian revival in America."

As Julie Roginsky explains, standing behind Trump's white Christian nationalist disciples with their rhetoric of Trump as messiah are economic elites who fund and promote this religious rhetoric for their own ends — to divide and conquer as they plunder:

"During Holy Week, when Christians mark the Passion and resurrection of their savior, White told Trump, 'Jesus taught so many lessons through his death, burial & resurrection'."

"'He showed us great leadership, great transformation requires great sacrifice. And Mr President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our lord and savior showed us.'”

"In turn, Trump did not dispute the parallels between himself and Jesus. 'On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honoring him as king,' he said. 'They call me king now. Can you believe it?'”

"Ten years on, it has become clear that 'Make America Great Again' is largely a nostalgic appeal to an earlier era; a time when America’s global dominance was exercised unapologetically, other nations were treated as expendable, and the rhetoric of overwhelming force fit comfortably alongside a domestic history built on exclusion, hierarchy, and a selective vision of whom American greatness was ever truly meant to serve."

Colleen Dully, Mia Lobel, Ben Richmond, and Mary Harris discuss the disconnect between Trump and his MAGA white Christian nationalists, and Pope Leo. As Richmond says, "The White House may be blowing the Catholic Church off, but they are not staying silent."

But as Harris notes, J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio are Catholic, and it's as though Leo's words mean nothing to them when he speaks out vs. war.
