I feel that Christians are not really considering Trump's very theological driven actions.
We focus (pro or con) on individual Biblical issues, declaring him either pagan or "the most Christian."

But his theological construct has been clearly documented 1/
Norman V. Peale & the power of positive thinking has always been formative.

This is why Trump is so comfortable w/Paula White & others w/the prosperity Gospel. It is about more than prosperity itself, it is rooted in the idea that our words are powerful to the point of
almost magic, invoking reality by speaking positively.

Trump's refusal to say bad news is in part rooted in his need to always succeed, but there is a deeper consistent theological word view. You fight things (in this case, the virus) by speaking the reality you want. Church
leaders who are on guard against false theology embedded in BLM or SJW are ignoring not merely Christian Nationalism, which they feel they can defend, but ignoring that the "speak no ill" for Trump is not merely political spin, but is a theological consistency.
