Trump's attempt to appeal to Christians may be mistake
Casual political observers may not be aware that Donald Trump has taken on a new strategy; infusing Christianity into his movement and presenting himself as a Christ-like figure.
Images of Jesus Christ, hands resting on a beatific Donald, have been common at the former presidents rallies for months. The focus has now gone mainstream.
The sentiment is explicit in the recent video God Made Trump, posted to Truth Social. It portrays the former president as a vessel of a higher power. Recent rallies suggest that Trump has been chosen by God; determined to save America. Supporting pastors amplify this message to devout followers.
By all reports, the former president has never shown any devotion to a religious faith. On the contrary, every attempt to reveal his knowledge of the Bible or principles of Christianity is evaded. These facts do not come into play when the prize, perhaps too great to ignore, is the image of Jesus Christ, his hand reaching out to anoint Trump to Make America Great Again.
