Description
Trump and the Puritans: How the Evangelical Religious Right Put Donald Trump in the White House by James Roberts and Martyn Whittock. The 2020 US presidential election marked a significant year for America, as it coincided with the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Pilgrims' arrival in the New World. This event is closely tied to the rise of Donald Trump, who many Christians see as their chosen leader. The United States has more Christians than any other nation, and Evangelicals make up a significant proportion of the population. The influence of 17th-century Puritans on American politics cannot be overstated. Their legacy continues to shape the country's spiritual landscape, with around 33.7 million people - nearly 80% of all Christians in the US - voting for Trump in 2016. This book explores how the long-term impact of these radical thinkers has contributed to Trump's political power and appeal. Hardcover, 303 pages.
