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.”
Oh it’s wrong. According to the actual study you get to 30 percent in a certain part of protestantism. At “weekly church going Protestants” it’s only 21 percent. So you have to goose the numbers by asking if they hold a conservative belief before you even get the number used for headline. And saying “of Americans” is a straight up lie.
