After long claiming that evangelicals would never abandon him, former President Donald Trump is now accusing one of his most prized voting blocs of “disloyalty.” In a Monday interview with Real America’s Voice, Trump called hesitance from evangelical leaders to endorse his campaign a “sign of disloyalty.” “Nobody has ever …
