wow ... how does the author address the immorality of Trumpism and conservative Catholics blind following of the former president?

I'll look into it.

I looked into the book criticizing Donald Trump, but it does not seem to address my original question. So let me try to ask it differently.
From my perspective, the book 'The Political Pope' is based on the incorrect premise that the Holy Father is running for a political office in the US. But putting that reality aside, one can do an academic exercise and ask if the Pope is truly abandoning Catholics with a particular political perspective in the US.
But as you rightly suggested, it is White Evangelicals, not Catholics, who "worship at the altar of Donald Trump." So my questions still remains: How does the author connect the leader of the Roman Catholic Church to the politics of Trump and his white evangelical followers?

I am adding this book to my reading list, thanks to your review!

I am adding The Political Pope to my reading list. Neuman Dr is an intrepid independent journalist. Great review by Adrian.

Thank you, Adrian, for the clarification.
I am an immigrant to the US born in El Salvador. I am definitely familiar with the global conflict against liberation theology. The archbishop Saint Oscar Romero was martyred for his faith.

But this leads to another question. Is it correct to call the alt-right who called for Romero's death "traditionalist Catholics?" Hitler, Mussolini and Franco were all Catholic. But is it correct to state that this conservative viewpoint is "Catholic?"
