[LOL!] Donald Trump, the evangelist of an angry crowd

Council Bluffs, Iowa, U.S., Feb 1 (EFE).- On a hill between a Pizza Hut and a supermarket, hundreds of people waited on the eve of the Iowa caucus for the arrival of business magnate and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a man whose supporters feel is the only candidate speaking a language of political change that they understand.
Trump, the leader of the Republican polls in Iowa, which opens the race to the White House in 2016, has attracted on Sunday thousands of people - the majority Caucasian - to Council Bluffs, a town bordering on Nebraska, the frozen tundra of the remote American Midwest.
The spectacle starts hours before the New York billionaire sets foot in the muddy Council Bluffs, with the arrival of people selling souvenirs including t-shirts, badges with the slogan "Girls like Donald" or "Trump will fuck the Islamic State", and even action figures of the businessman-turned-politician.
"To tell you the truth, I have come here to see the spectacle. To me, Trump is a stupid fool who wants to be a president for fame," murmurs Ben Truman, who has travelled from neighboring Omaha, Nebraska, with his son but says he will vote for the Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders.
The queue continues to grow two hours before the event. A man dressed as a cowboy plays the guitar next to an evangelist pastor while the Secret Service combs the entrances of the Gerald K. school for threats and someone shouts "Hey Hillbilly!" out the window of a passing truck.
Barbara Miller, a middle-aged white woman, says she has been waiting for 8.5 hours.
"Trump is the only person who speaks directly to the fear and anger of the people," said the Iowa resident, as others in the group praised the value of a businessman self-funding his campaign without relying on donations.
"We need a businessman in the White House. [forget the bankruptcies] We are sick of the government stripping us of everything we work for, [so i'm for a guy who has done it to many people, makes sense] just to give free medical care to those who come here to live on charity," said Mika Harding, whose business collapsed and now sells Trump caps and badges.
"It is pretty profitable," said Harding, who is accustomed to following the Trump "circus" and chats animatedly with Secret Service members, remembering the "best" Trump event as one in Florida when he flew over the 15,000-strong crowd in a helicopter.
"Trump is the chosen one. The evangelists of Iowa are with him in greater numbers than before they met him," says Julian Raven, a UK-born "evangelical minister" now living in Marbella (Spain), where he found Christ after a "hectic" life.
Now he is an American citizen and has sold everything to follow Trump with a truck painted with a mural of Trump as the messiah for a broken nation.
Trump has also claimed to be a good person ("I'm a great guy") while disparaging the wickedness of his closest opponent, Senator Ted Cruz ("not trustworthy").
Meanwhile the media is "dishonest" ("Here they are in a corner") and "incompetent leaders" must take the blame for the emerging threat of the Islamic State (IS).
In recent times, the evangelist votes have been the majority - essential for victory in the primary elections in Iowa - and today they have brought Trump to campaign at the Christian university.
Jerry Falwell, the evangelical leader and president of Liberty University, introduced Trump to the Council Bluffs.
Now the Republican favorite, according to the latest survey by Des Moines Register on Monday, Trump recently passed through a church in western Iowa, where one of three radios broadcast sermons and the evangelists are of great importance.
If he manages to impress religious conservatives in this rural area dotted with snow-covered farms, he will possibly win his first primary elections race and edge closer to the presidential nomination.
However, the evangelists were more abundant in the ubiquitous family restaurant Pizza Ranch in Council Bluffs than among the frustrated crowd that follows Trump for the show or because they truly believe in what he says.
