Bachmann, who was one of Trump's evangelical advisers during his 2016 campaign, is far from the first prominent evangelical leader to speak of Trump in such terms. Let's start with this: It's very hard to quantify what Bachmann meant in describing Trump as "highly biblical." In fact, when evangelicals call Trump biblical, they are often talking about his policies on issues like Israel and abortion, rather than personal morality. The way Trump speaks about core tenets of Christianity is also, um, not exactly a convincing testament to his faith. And even if Trump does have a private faith that he never talks about, the idea of him as "highly biblical' seems like a massive stretch.
