Trump is pushing a “prosperity religion” scam.
Give up all your money now to the cause and I (God/Prophet) promise you lots of money in the future. If you aren’t rewarded with money, it’s your own fault for lack of faith.
I think the prosperity doctrine is just plain, “If you truly believe, you will prosper materially”. I don’t really think that describes Trump’s thing very well. For him it’s just that people expect quid pro quo, and he doesn’t do that. That’s just a natural human thing. When you do something for someone, there is a little bit of an expectation they return the favor. People who don’t expect anything in return are unusual.
