"Trump's Influence on Christian Holidays: From Good Friday to Easter Sunrise"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump has been infusing elements of Christianity into his political movement, ending his rallies with a churchlike ritual that evokes an evangelical altar call. He demands and receives new levels of devotion from Republicans, portraying his prosecutions as persecutions and warning his followers that they could be targeted next. This effort to transform the Republican Party into a kind of "Church of Trump" has helped him maintain leadership despite political failures and legal challenges, positioning him for another White House run.
