Donald Trump is an unlikely role model for evangelical Christians in the U.S. A former casino owner, married three times and faced with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct over the years, Donald Trump notably proposed appointing anti-abortion judges to the Supreme Court.
When Americans went to the polls in November 2016, 77% of white evangelicals voted for Trump, according to Pew Research. For this community, which represents only 14.5% of the population but 28% of voters, the fact that the former real estate mogul is not religious does not matter. They feel like he's on their side. “If you believe that the Barbarians are at our gates, then you say to yourself: 'Maybe we need a Barbarian to protect us.' This is, in summary, the relationship of evangelicals with Donald Trump,” he believes.
