‘Ordained by God’: Trump’s legal problems galvanize Iowa evangelicals
Conservative/fundamentalist Christianity has nothing to do with Jesus. How could anyone look to Trump as a 'godly' man or as ANY kind of real Christian. It's insane, but that's the MAGA world...unhinged.
For Klaus, who echoed many other Iowa Republicans, the decision came down in part to Trump’s Supreme Court picks, which led to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and his alignment with some Christian leaders. But Trump’s current legal problems — 91 criminal charges across four indictments, including allegations involving paying hush money to an adult-film star and trying to overturn the 2020 election — along with his fight against what he calls the “deep state,” prompted Klaus to liken him to David in his fight against Goliath.
“That’s why we as Republicans have to come together and stand behind him,” Klaus said.
DUH! OMG, the stupidity.
“The support has gone from begrudging to enthusiastic. Many evangelicals now see Trump as their champion and defender — perhaps even savior,” said Barry Hankins, a history professor at Baylor University who is an expert in evangelicalism. “Unwittingly, in my view, many evangelicals are welcoming authoritarianism and courting blasphemy.”
