Stephen Mansfield is the author of the new book, “Choosing Donald Trump: God, Anger, Hope, and Why Christian Conservatives Supported Him.” Mansfield examines how religious leaders justified their support for Trump and whether Donald Trump is a man of faith.
“Americans should want someone who can distill their faith into a political philosophy. I don’t need the President to pray like I pray… I do want to know that this person is committed to religious liberty,” Mansfield said.
