[quote=Anonymous]It’s a trade particularly with (although not exclusively) the New Apostolic Reformation. The leaders don’t care about T’s conduct because he will institute their desired agenda. In return they vote for the regime, which enriches the oligarchs. It’s entirely transactional.

* The leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation movement adhere to dominion theology. They wish to exercise their authority over every sphere of society by taking control of political and cultural institutions. Key to this is the concept of the “Seven Mountains” strategy, a mobilizing marketing scheme to get Christians to take control of the spheres of family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business and government. Trump is important for this because they see him as exemplifying how one conquers those mountains. For example, Trump is a leader in arts and entertainment. He had one of the most-watched shows, The Apprentice. When he was on Twitter, he conquered the media. In business, the Trump brand is global. So if you have him as head of the government, that will help Christians penetrate the other spheres. Their relationship with him is transactional. They need Trump. Trump needs them. They don’t mind that he’s not a moral man. That’s not important, because God chose imperfect individuals, and God’s will shall prevail.*

That’s a quote from this interview with a scholar who has studied the relationship. Here’s more of the interview:
