Many progressive commentators in the US and other parts of the world are expressing bafflement that evangelicals support Mr. Trump so much considering his history of lying, possible adultery, consorting with ladies of loose morals, etc..
They question how can these people support such a person and still call themselves good Christians.
They miss the point. Evangelicals are obsessed with making abortion illegal in the US. For the life of me I cannot understand the obsession but it is there. Mr. Trump is using his powers to advance that cause, including appointing two Supreme Court justices who are specifically against abortion. For them he is doing God's work and so they will support him.
That is all anybody needs to understand with regard to Mr. Trump and evangelicals.
