Trump is blatantly immoral yet a large part of his supporters are Christian Evangelicals seems counterintuitive but even though there is a growing division in the ranks most continue to believe he's God's "imperfect man" doing his will. Other's either don't understand just how dangerous it is to have a sociopath in the White House and how he emboldens our enemies while causing our allies to distance themselves because they know he can't be trusted.
Now I do understand that they have gotten many Federally appointed judges ... many unqualified and who will probably be removed because of that but I can't argue they did get another SCOTUS Judge under Trump so I'm sure they feel that justifies their complete blindness when it comes to Trump's constant lies, Congressional obstruction, corruption, etc...
The question that always comes up for me is, why do the Evangelicals trust him? Trump track record for throwing people under the bus to save himself or as an act of vengeance is considerable. I wonder what makes them think if they displease him in any way they won't suffer the same fate? I'm pretty sure an enraged Trump would have no qualms taking away their tax exempt status or even making their lives miserable similar to the way people who come across our border are now subject to.
It is my personal opinion that Evangelical leadership has denied their God in favor of political power and are now worshiping at the altar of Trump. They have persuaded many of their followers to do likewise but the tide is shifting thanks mostly to the younger members of their faith. I find this very encouraging and sincerely hope this trend continues through 2020!
