DAILY TRIFECTA (or Unholy Trinity, as the case may be): God's Instrument
But it's not a cult
TITLE: Republican voters say Trump is more religious and more a ‘person of faith’ than Biden, Pence or Romney

EXCERPT: More Republican voters believe Donald Trump is a “person of faith” and “religious” than think the same of Joe Biden, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney or any of the current contenders for the Republican presidential nomination.
November polling by HarrisX for the Deseret News also found 43% of Republican voters believe Trump has a strong moral compass, 49% believe he is “honest and trustworthy” and 50% believe he “makes ethical decisions.”
According to Republican voters, Trump far outpaces Biden — a devout Catholic — and Romney — a devout Mormon — and Pence — an outspoken evangelical — on matters of faith and religion.
The measures of faith and morality are nearly exactly reversed when Trump is assessed by Democrats and Biden is assessed by Republicans.
Despite his indictment on 91 counts in four separate cases, and despite being impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives twice, and despite his well-documented penchant for lying, Trump is seen by his Republican base as the epitome of virtue.
In one nuance of the polling, Republicans are less likely to say Trump is “religious” than to say he is a man of faith. But on both counts, Republicans give Trump higher marks than Biden.

EXCERPT: Many evangelical voters believe that God is calling Trump to lead the nation. But at one time or another, Trump has disregarded most of the decalogue, often willfully. Here is a brief rundown.
1. “You shall have no other gods before me”
Critics argue that Trump’s ego-driven behavior, coupled with his apparent disregard for the Constitution, means he thinks of himself as god-like. Anti-Trump forces consider him a pseudo-messianic figure who operates above accepted norms of moral and legal behavior. On Capitol Hill, he has been called “Orange Jesus.” Unlike most humans, Trump is consistently never wrong, makes a point of never asking forgiveness, and can never lose.
2. “You shall not make for yourself an idol”
Millions of Americans believe that Trump has fostered an idol-like cult of personality — a force to be worshipped. This is not completely an exaggeration — remember the gold Trump idol at CPAC? Initially, Trump built an empire based on his name brand. Now, he sells Trump digital trading cards and has morphed into a superhero idol.
3. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain”
Trump is known to use foul language and has at times crossed the line into blasphemy. Also reported is when Trump denigrated evangelical pastors for praying over him and called them “hustlers.”
4. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy”
Trump worships on the golf course.
5. “Honor your father and mother”
Trump has at least somewhat dishonored his father, Fred, whose hundreds of millions paid for him to become a “self-made” billionaire.
6. “You shall not murder”
Mike Pence was not hanged, so Trump gets a pass.
7. “You shall not commit adultery”
Trump’s numerous extramarital affairs are well documented, often through his own bragging. Two of his alleged affairs are still the subject of litigation. He was also found liable in civil court for sexual assault in May 2023.
8. “You shall not steal”
Trump tried but failed to steal the 2020 election. He will have his day in court for that one.
9. “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”
According to the Washington Post’s fact checkers, Trump made 30,573 false or misleading statements during his presidency. Even if the number is somewhat inflated by bogus fact-checks, the number of legitimate falsehoods he has told — including the lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him — is large even for a politician.
10. “You shall not covet”
Trump covets power and authority. He will stop at nothing to get it and keep it. He attempted to overturn the 2020 election when his power was about to be legally terminated. Then, upon leaving office, Trump took hundreds of sensitive documents that belonged to the government.
After holding Trump accountable against the Ten Commandments, evangelical voters must justify and rationalize the gap between God’s law and Trump’s mission to “make America great again.”
At Trump rallies, you often see evangelical supporters wearing hats or t-shirts proclaiming, “Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.” On Election Day, these most passionate, devout voters will be in national prayer circles asking God to deliver.
