I don't know that I would call him ostensibly Christian. He occasionally pretends to be one, but he never attends regularly, never attends on the equivalent of the High Holy Days, and when he did his performative act during the riots when he was in office for his little photo op, he managed to hold the bible upside-down. What he is, is someone who knows how to suck up to people and say the right words to make them think he's on their side. As I said, performative. He's a Performative Christian. We used to talk about some people as those who'd put on their Sunday Coat, he doesn't even do that.
