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.”

    If you read it already then surely it’s no problem to find the operative section? And Cambridge Press, (a publishing company for academic books) is selling it. They aren’t going to give a copy away for free.

    And it would be very surprising to find out 63 percent of religious people in the US see Trump as a God anointed president after having lost the election. Especially since the actual study is among weekly church going Protestants and cites 21 percent.

    Also it’s hilarious that you complain I’m asking you to do research when you’ve supposedly already read the material and then you tell me, “learn to Internet”. I suspect I was figuring out Basic in DOS before you were born.
