Why do so many evangelical Christians support former President Donald Trump despite his decades of documented ungodly behavior?

An in-depth report from The Economist shows that it has a simple explanation: They believe that God personally appointed him to rule the United States.

In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump “was anointed by God to become president.”

    [they believe that] God will use Trump to crush opposition to Christian nationalism and restore Christians as the nation’s rightful political rulers.

    i’ve said for years that all the so-called “hypocrisy” of the christian right supporting the decidedly unchristian donald trump vanishes when you account for one fact: he’ll let them hurt who they want to hurt.
