To me, the unwavering support of Trump from evangelical Christians is similar to the story of the temptation of Christ. When Satan took Jesus to the top of a mountain, he made the basic offer to exchange political power for his soul.
Trump's candidacy presented a similar offer to evangelicals....excuse and/or turn a blind eye to the greed, womanizing, adultery, racism, and lying, and in exchange your political wishes will be granted (conservative judges, pro-Israel policy, etc).
But it looks like a stereotypical deal with the devil....evangelicals' vocal support of Trump has cost them their moral authority to speak on many issues.
Luke 4:5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written,“‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”
