I have followed controverises about Donald Trump since he announced his intent to run for the White House in 2015. Along the way I wrote different Religion Watch columns about Trump and just released my book God’s Man in the White House: Donald Trump in Modern Christian Prophecy (CastleQuay, 2020). I continue to study about him and the political, ethical and spiritual battles connected to his presidency.
I thought I would share with readers some resources to use if you want to be current on the most significant writings. For internet sleuthing, I turn almost everyday to Real Clear Politics, a website that provides some of the most signficant writings from all perspectives. Reading through the list will teach you that there must be two different people named Donald Trump who occupy the Oval Office. Despite the brain pain in reading conflicting stories and views, it is one way to have a better measure of what is true or false or part of each.
In my new book I have a list of resources that can serve as your summer reading possibilities. I also list important internet sources. One academic note: I should have added Michael Brown’ s book to my list in the book but missed it, so it is added below.
