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."
Does he though? He dramatically inflates the value of his properties and downplays his debts, preferring to declare bankruptcy than paying them. That doesn't sound like he has a lot of money, that sounds like he has a lot of assets and debts, and it isn't clear if his assets exceed his debts.
But maybe that's what the "prosperity gospel" people are into, appearances over facts...
He isn't buying the cheap can of tuna fish.
