On Wednesday, Jan. 25, GRAMMY® Award-winning gospel recording artist Tina Campbell published an open letter to President Donald J. Trump online.
While some thanked the “Destiny” singer and described her post as a “mature” and “biblical” response to America’s newest shift in power, others let it be known that they weren’t too thrilled about it.
The Gee Tree Creative CEO’s attempt to corrall Christians by admonishing them to move away from fear, anger and division, and toward love, unity and forgiveness for Trump, was interpreted by some as support for the president’s overall flawed behaviors and rhetoric.
In a portion of the letter expressing her personal convictions and sentiments, Campbell wrote, “I choose to believe that that same power that comes from Almighty God is at work in Mr. Donald Trump, and it will be used for the greater good of this nation and its people.”
Many Christians were wildly offended by that.
The new leader is viewed by a large segment of society as racist, xenophobic, sexually predatory, desirous of only self-gain and all things ungodly. Some of the angriest members of this group, rather than parse out the 42-year-old solo artist’s statement, viewed it as a wholesale endorsement of everything the controversial Commander-In-Chief stands for.
