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."

I don't know about him but I did. And it maths to about 6 percent of all American Adults. (21 percent of weekly church going Protestants).

The article is sensationalist. As usual.

I find your reasonable and informed comment insulting.
