The Archbishop of Canterbury says he doesn't understand why so many Christians in the U.S. support President Donald Trump. Justin Welby told ITV's Preston on Sunday program that he "really genuinely" can't comprehend why fundamentalists have provided such a strong base for Trump.

That is rich coming from the religious head of the Church of England. His Protestant predecessors had no problems allying with Henry VIII.

I am quite baffled how a supposed Christian institution has prelates who do not even believe in the Nicene Creed and/or embrace sinful relationships.

The Archbishop of Canterbury says he doesn't understand why so many Christians in the U.S. support President Donald Trump.I don't understand how any Christian can consider the Archbishop of Canterbury anything other than a Leftist shill.

Maybe he only watches CNN and MSNBC. Needs to broaden his news sources.

And they promote two males sodomizing each other now and pretend it can be “marriage” (a “union” LOL) in the eyes of God. They accepted toxins for women’s bodies to prevent God’s will and forced objectification of women with their artificial contraception. Such dehumanization in a so-called “Christian” church is appalling.
Of course, you are right. The only reason the Anglican Church exists is because Henry VIII wanted to be a polygamist and murder his many wives....not very Christian at all. He also stole all the Catholic lands and had priests and nuns killed and forced into hiding.

I’m baffled as to why the Archbishop of Canterbury is such a colossal a**hole and feels a need to comment with stupid remarks on American elections and politics.
This fool will probably end up beheaded by muzzies one day.

My observation is that the archbishop of cant has been baffled most of his life. Don’t expect him to achieve clarity soon.

I am amazed how many British are “experts” on American politics and policies yet would jump at a chance to live here.

Yeah, why would Christians back Trump when they could have had Hillary and her Leftist wreck and ball crew?

I’m guessing there are a lot more Christians backing Trump than backing the Archbishop of Canterbury. But I’m not puzzled by it at all.
