Pretending that Christian enthusiasm for Donald Trump is just some kind of mass psychosis or mob mentality may allow some Christians like Mr. French to feel better about themselves and their churches.

Mr. Trump is amoral and irreligious.
The only explanation is that Mr. Trump and evangelicals have a symbiotic relationship that puts both in positions of power and influence.
