Trump to rally Evangelical support for his 2020 campaign after US kills top Iranian generalLess than a day after the U.S. announced that it killed Iranian top military leader Gen. Qasem Soleimani in a surprise airstrike in Baghdad, Trump is set to attend the previously scheduled launch of his 2020 campaign's 'Evangelicals for Trump' coalition. Because nothing says Christlike like killing people. Who would Jesus bomb? DeutscheBank is the real story you need to report. Evangelicals want Armageddon to fulfill the their nutjob apocalypse fantasy. Trump is trying to distract from his impeachment and win back evangelical voters for 2020.
