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.”

      There’s no use using logic to argue someone out of a position they didn’t arrive at by logic in the first place.

      They just hand wave anything away as “this is a test of faith in this life, but it is only the eternal afterlife that matters.” There’s literally no arguing with it.
