David Critchley (Letters, 30 December) seeks to defend Donald Trump supporters from criticism by the bishop of Liverpool by saying that there is “nothing unchristian” about coming to the aid of the American working class, Americans in general, non-American Christians, and non-American non-Christians in that order. What Mr Critchley overlooks is that Trump’s policies benefit almost exclusively the American plutocracy, while taking away money from the American working class through cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and education; gerrymandering to support the Republicans; denying overseas aid to non-American Christian nations; and having blanket bans on a number of non-Christian non-American nationals.Fr Julian DunnGreat Haseley, OxfordshireDavid Critchley (Letters, 30 December) seeks to defend Donald Trump supporters from criticism by the bishop of Liverpool by saying that there is “nothing unchristian” about coming to the aid of the American working class, Americans in general, non-American Christians, and non-American non-Christians in that order.
