“During an address at the National Religious Broadcasters convention, the defense secretary told attendees that President Donald Trump is fighting for their faith and returning America to its Christian foundations.” - RNS
“…of Vice President JD Vance: 52% view him unfavorably, while 38% have a favorable opinion….About half of adults (48%) have an unfavorable view of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while 44% have a favorable view….
“The disorder under which Americans are now suffering, the ramifications of which have only just begun to be realized, is what inevitably happens when an American president disregards the rule of law, insisting that he is limited only by his own sense of morality—a sense of morality that in this case does not quite seem to exist.” - The Dispatch
“Trump’s comments about Hyde have brought the greatest backlash on op-ed pages, but there is also a feeling in the pro-life movement that the administration has taken insufficient action on issue …primarily restricting access to mifepristone, a drug largely used for abortions.” - MinistryWatch

First, some context. I’m not writing as one who thinks he knows the answers to the questions I’m raising here. I don’t consider foreign policy opinions to rightly belong only to experts, but at the moment, I don’t have a high confidence view on this one.
I’m also coming from a place that is deeply suspicious of Donald Trump and everyone currently on his most favored people list. I’ve written a lot previously about why. Here, I’ll go with the shortest possible summary: I believe qualification for high office includes a basic level of good character, and President Trump falls well short of that standard.
“1. Franklin Graham: ‘We have a president who takes action’ ….2. Mike Huckabee: ‘Maduro’s fall weakens Hezbollah’s reach’….3. Michael Youssef: ‘Hopes raised for oppressed people’…. 4. John Amanchukwu: ‘Lives were saved by capturing Maduro the Monster’…. 5. Pastor Jack Graham: ‘Freedom for our Venezuelan congregation’ ” - CPost

“…conservatives also need to be able to say: It is despicable to call human beings ‘garbage.’ A cabinet secretary also shouldn’t be calling a governor an ‘idiot’ at a televised cabinet meeting. And I’d leave Kristi Noem’s comment about Tim Walz alone, if Trump hadn’t previously (Thursday, defending it on Sunday) insisted Walz is ‘retarded.’ We don’t talk about people like that.” - National Review
“About 42% of the survey participants believe the Trump administration’s policies have a positive impact on their organization or the work they do—down from 54% in January.
