Dr. Harris is not advocating for a Trump presidency. He was merely pointing out that Donald Trump really isn't the Christian that he claims to be.

By the way, Dr. Harris referred to Mr. Trump's referring to "Corinthians Two." I believe Mr. Trump actually said "Two Corinthians." Most readers of the Bible would say "Second Corinthians."
