Why do conservative evangelical Christians admire and worship trump? [View all]

As devout Christians, these people are no doubt familiar with the Fruits of the Spirit as laid out in Galatians 5:22-23. These are nine characteristics that are deemed necessary for the well-lived Christian life. Here they are:

"love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control"

My question for the evangelical trump lovers is, which of these do you see trump exhibiting on a regular basis in his public and private life?
