Trump has blamed the issue of abortion and pro-life voters for the Republican Party’s underperformance in the 2022 midterm election cycle—a theme he repeated in his April 8 social media posts.
When applied to political leaders, the language of “inevitability” and “invincibility” is profoundly dangerous. It also violates the teaching of the the Gospel that God has given us free will.
Colorado and Maine have forced the U.S. Supreme Court to make a quick decision on whether Donald J. Trump can be removed from the ballot for having encouraged an ”insurrection.”
Whatever the court decides, Mr. Trump’s brazen refusal to accept the will of the voters or constitutional limits on presidential power still needs to be confronted and rejected.
