“Yes, I support President Trump's interest in helping out Christians everywhere, but let's be fair to a government who is working to try to protect Christians and doesn't have the resources. Right. This is clearly, I'll just say it out loud. It's an effort to draw the attention of faithful Christians in the United States away from long standing persecution that we have studiously ignored in Ukraine and in other parts of the world.
