Robert Jeffress is only one of many "pastors" who've gained power for themselves by supporting Trump and his unchristian policies. But he's a good case study.

After I made a video criticizing Kristi Noem's gross and vile antics at a prison in El Salvador, a listener asked this question:
“Can someone please tell me what is ‘wrong’ with the video she did? I honestly would like to know. Standing up for the law? That's not ‘Christian?’"
Here's my answer.

Kristi Noem made a propaganda video from an El Salvador prison where Venezuelan migrants have been sent by Donald Trump, without due process. Most are probably gang members, but some appear not to be. As a Christian, I have some serious issues with all of this.
