Did Trump do the right thing when he lied about the coronavirus?

I'm sure there are those that are die hard Trump supporters but not every Christian is conservative and not every conservative Christian voted for/supports Trump. If I had to guess, I'd say the majority of conservative Christians tolerate Trump.

I'd say that the majority of evangelicals actively support him, forming the core of his "base."  Fractions have steadily peeled off that base over the last two years though--Black evangelicals, some women and the "integrity" lobby (see The Spiritual Danger of Donald Trump: 30 Evangelical Christians on Justice, Truth, and Moral Integrity). He has lost a lot of the Catholic vote, for whom "all lives matter," not just the unborn, but he still gets around 80% unquestioned support from Evangelicals.
