Notes

1 For this reason, many evangelicals believe that Trump “is a miracle sent straight from heaven to bring the nation back to the Lord.” Some even compare him to the Persian king Cyrus (600–530 bce), who according to legend facilitated the Jews’ return from exile and restoration of the temple at Jerusalem. In like manner, Trump would “restore the crumbling walls that separate us from cultural collapse” (Stewart 2018).
