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.”
Replying to myself because it’s a bit late for this edit. But here’s the money quote from the poll author.
21 percent of about 30 percent of American Adults believed this before the 2020 election. Somebody better than me with math can correct me but I’m pretty sure that’s 6 percent of Americans?
