Résumé:
Considering himself as the father of Enlightenment and the savior of their ideals and religious
faith, Donald Trump has heightened the Republican chain to America’s sincere conservatives,
gaining the majority voted groups of white Evangelicals in the 2016 presidential elections.
Trump’s “America first” priestly rhetoric was passionately taken out by the Evangelicals
platform who sought an insurgent rectification to America’s cultural and plural changes,
through their “ideals base”, and the transactional Republican-Evangelical linkage. The present
research examines the nature and background of Evangelicals religio-politico activism in the
U.S. society through exploring points of conflict and agreement between them, as well as
religion’s role in affecting citizens’ political attitudes. The latter is well discussed in the
dissertation by highlighting the significant role some religious institutions play at the level of
public opinion or the governmental ones. Shedding lights on Evangelicals' political
accomplishments under Trump’s administration and investigating their role in supporting or
affecting his different immigration policies is identified in this study. In addition, this research
examines the position and response of Evangelicals to these governmental policies whether
positively or negatively determining the undercurrent motive behind their supportive stand.
