ColumnistI pray for President Trump at least once a week. Franklin Graham’s declaration last week for a “special day of prayer for the President, Donald J. Trump” on Sunday had a very different theological flavor. “President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family and the presidency,” Graham said.
