Trump Signs Order For 'Faith Office' At White House, Aligns With Christian Nationalists

In his second term, Donald Trump is adopting a more conservative and religious focus, highlighted by the establishment of a 'Faith Office' at the White House, led by televangelist Paula White. Trump has created a task force to address what he calls the 'persecution' of Christians, appointing several cabinet members with ties to Christian nationalists, including Vice President JD Vance. Despite a history of ambiguous religious affiliations and controversies, Trump claims to have undergone a religious awakening following a near-death experience at a rally. He stated that this incident has strengthened his belief in God, contrasting his approach with that of his predecessor, Joe Biden. Evangelical support for Trump remains strong, continuing from the 2016 election. His relationship with religion is complex, marked by past scandals and a non-traditional church attendance record.
