So Donald Trump is a man of faith! THE New York Times relates that certain partisan gatherings include moments of contemplation and prayer. Even Trump then enters into an interiority which suggests a privileged contact with the Most High.
However, the star of the show has just insulted everyone and his neighbor in his speech. This could be interpreted as a breach of Christian charity. But for Trump, it works.
In fact, for Trump, anything goes. He could sell air conditioners in the North Pole and tuques in the tropics. He could pose as a Buddhist, vegan or yoga teacher for votes. And a large number would believe it, it seems, without asking any further questions. They have confidence, period.
The evangelical vote is important in the election. They often vote as a bloc under the recommendation of their church leaders. Many are found in key states. They can also contribute through volunteering and donations. Trump even sells them Bibles for US$60 to finance his campaign.
The funny thing is that he is not a religious person for two cents. Before politics, he was pro-choice on abortion and didn’t wear church floors. From Stormy Daniels to Miss USA, from his language to his way of doing business, we see little mark of a pious and upright man.

The vaccine
Trump is pretending to be something he is not. Conversely, he must hide real achievements.
One of the decisions that Donald Trump made diligently was the launch of Operation Warp Speed. On May 15, 2020, the American president summoned the media to the Rose Garden of the White House for a major announcement. He has just authorized “a massive scientific, industrial and logistical adventure such as the United States has not launched since the Manhattan Project [la bombe atomique]”.
You will have understood that it was about launching a monster operation to develop a COVID vaccine in the shortest possible time. Then, to produce them massively to distribute them in the United States and elsewhere in the world.
Donald Trump had released the necessary budgets. The best researchers would be involved and money would not be an obstacle. All the experts then agreed that a vaccine offered the hope of a return to a certain normality.

Success to hide
Donald Trump was quick and decisive. A superpower like the United States mobilizing its resources in such a major operation made a difference. We had the first doses of vaccine in December! A success for which humanity can thank the United States… and its president.
The funny thing about this is that Trump never brags about it. While it should be a centerpiece of his balance sheet, he never says a word about it.
Because his electorate is now filled with conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccines. Skeptics who vote with both hands… for the vaccine hero.
