The cult leaders are evangelical pastors. They'll find a new guy because it's profitable. They will herd their sheep to a new wolf.
The exploitative business types will follow for the same reasons. They only worship profit and trump literally gives them your tax money, cuts their taxes, and curates the courts to their interests.
No, it's Trump. They, Robin Bullock, Kat Kurr, all of them make prophecies about Trump. The whole fucking theology centers on Trump. He's become the lynch pin to their everything. One pastor in particular, Shane Vaugn, claims that "Trump is a messiah."
They have hitched it all to Trump. Without him, it all falls apart. They will try to pivot because they won't just give up their influence, but his second defeated will hurt their credibility. It will sow doubt. And when he eventually kicks the bucket, will, I wager most Christians only have it in themselves to wait on just one messiah to come back.
