About

How did a crass, unrepentant reality TV star and cutthroat business tycoon secure the majority of the religious conservative vote?

The 2016 election of Donald J. Trump exposed a deep divide in American politics and culture, one that pollsters and pundits didn't seem to realize was there. But Trump did, and he used it to his advantage in ways that surprised nearly everyone, even those who voted for him.

Now the New York Times bestselling author of The Faith of George W. Bush and The Faith of Barack Obama turns his pen toward the Trump phenomenon. Through meticulous research and personal interviews, Stephen Mansfield uncovers who Trump's spiritual influences have been and explains why Christian conservatives were attracted to this unlikely candidate--a man whose proclamation of faith during the presidential campaign runs counter to his immoral past--and the repercussions of that choice.
