Responding to Francis Schaeffer’s criticism of Trump

To the editor:

As a Christian, if my choices for president were Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I would vote for Donald Trump any day [“Son of Francis Schaeffer calls out Trump’s evangelical enablers on Twitter”]. He may have a foul mouth, but at least he has some moral base that Mrs. Clinton has not shown. We have watched her from the 1990s and each time she comes up short. Mr. Trump has gotten more done in this past year than most of his predecessors and brought this nation back to becoming great again.

I pray for him every day and I have seen a turnaround in him spiritually. Are you praying for him as you are told to do in the biblical book of Timothy? I notice that you are a Democrat. Not surprising. Weren’t you raised in Switzerland?

Myra Millard, Houston
