I think this snip says it all:

Initially, back in 2016, Mohler, along with the executive director of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, Dr Russell Moore, made news by being two of the most prominent Evangelicals to state their opposition to Trump's candidacy for President. Moore stuck to his convictions, unable to reconcile his Christian convictions with even an inkling of support for such a corrupt, worldly individual whose lifestyle defies every principle of Christian faith. Mohler, typical of past behavior he has exhibited, stuck his finger up to see which way the wind was blowing, realized that if he continued to be publicly opposed to Trump it could cost him his job, and switched his position, embracing Trump and becoming one of his most prolific supporters.
