American Evangelical Christians

Maybe rather than "political Christian" one could speak of a "social Christian" - someone who enjoys the social aspect of church-going and espouses the community action and caring aspect, rather than buying into the creed, virgin birth, resurrection etc.

Yes, that's a good term
It could also include those with a social conscience who go to church and then join church groups to help others but do not have a fervent belief.

He did brandish a bible in front of a church once, but that as so widely ridiculed, he did not repeat the mistake.

Didn't he hold it upside down?
Which could mean that he's never actually read it.

I'd be amazed if Trump had ever read the Bible. The only book he is said to have read is "The Art of The Deal", where he was credited as the author.

It was actually written by Tony Schwartz who has called writing the book his "greatest regret in life, without question," and both he and the book's publisher, Howard Kaminsky, said that Trump had played no role in the actual writing of the book.

I have often wondered whether Trump actually CAN read.

Reckon he might have read Mein Kampf

I think it has been suggested that his reading skills are limited www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/01/americas-first-post-text-president/549794/

The cause may be that he is dyslexic, but this link and several others certainly suggest that his reading age is probably in single figures.

All that I have seen and read of Trump suggests that not only his reading skills but also his ability to interpret and act on what he hears verbally and what he experiences in real life are limited. I am not qualified to interpret the causes of that, but the consequences as the President of a world power are alarming.

It is not the fact that his reading skills might be limited that worries me in that article; but the fact that no-one around him felt able to spill the beans that this was impinging on his ability to do his job.

A detailed analysis of Trump's speech patterns (when not reading a speech written by a speechwriter) has found that he has the vocabulary of an eight year old.

So it's not dyslexia, his reading age matches his vocabulary age and, presumably, his mental age.
