The former PM has shared his insights on the Republican former president, who heads towards November’s election with more support from evangelical Christians than ever before.
But Donald Trump’s status as a political outsider amid “deep disenfranchisement” with government institutions is what makes him so appealing to evangelical Christians, according to his ally Scott Morrison, Australia’s first Pentecostal prime minister.Criss-crossing America to promote his new book about faith, Morrison shared his insights of the former US president, who heads towards November’s election against incumbent Joe Biden with more support from evangelical Christians than ever before.
“There is a sense that he will stick up for people against the things that seek to hold them down, and I think that is something that resonates very strongly. The external commentary about President Trump often fails to get that.”The pair have had a good relationship since they were both in power, culminating in 2019 when Trump welcomed Morrison to the White House with a lavish state dinner, the highest diplomatic honour for an ally.
A new video is also occasionally played at his rallies portraying the presumptive Republican nominee as the messiah, featuring a narrator declaring:“God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a caretaker. So God gave us Trump.” Porn star Stormy Daniels leaves the court after taking the stand and testifying about her alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump in 2006.According to the survey released last month, more than half of white Christians also think Trump was a “great” or “good” president and don’t think he broke the law in an effort to change the outcome of the 2020 election.
