30 Percent of Americans Believe Trump Appointed President by God (www.rawstory.com)

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."

Never believe in a survey you haven't forged yourself.

Never do your own 10 minutes of research to discover this is the result of an in depth academic study by scholars and instead equip cognitive dissonance armor for +2 snark, - 1 INT, and the ability to off hand disregard as a forgery any information that doesn't fit your worldview!
