A lot of these Evangelicals do not even read the Bible.

And they do not supplement it with reading Dr Martin Luther King Jr and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Christians who suffered for their faith.

They go to these mega-churches where the Pastor tells them what they are to think.

To see the gap between Trump and teachings of Jesus, all they would need to do is take one of Trump's speeches and compare it to the passages in red (Jesus' words) if they have a Red Letter Bible.

Trump's speeches are filled with hatred, envy, and resentment to name a few.
