The Trump Prophecy, or how a Godlywood film points to a dis-united America

Résumé

The present case study is first going to show that The Trump Prophecy, which calls for unity through prayer and celebrates Donald Trump as the only true saviour for America (consequently approving his divisive presidency at the time of its release), is a Godlywood film featuring American conservative Christian values that have in fact increasingly contributed to polarize and divide America at the time of Trump. The article will then show that Trump, the film’s production, its second part and the conditions of its release reflect the on-going division between the conservative evangelical Christians, who contributed to the 2016 election of Donald Trump (and to that of other conservative presidents before him), and a more mainstream and lay part of the United States which did not fail to point out and make fun of the strangeness of the film. Finally, the present case study will highlight that the theme of the film, its production, its second part and the conditions of its release also caused controversy within the evangelical community itself, as some evangelical Christians did not agree with the film’s stance, thus pointing to an even more dis-united America.
