Prefacing this... Fuck Trump. I'm not religious and not conservative (far from it on both counts). That being said, I grew up around some very religious Christians and this is not people worshiping Trump. This is people "praying over" him.
It's not uncommon for Christians to pray for somebody's safety, success, health, etc. And they'll often do so in their presence by holding a hand or both hands out with their palm(s) pointed towards the one they're praying for. I guess, kind of a way to kind of channel their prayer through them or something. Religious conservatives have enough hypocritical and unethical/immoral views and practices without misconstruing benign and normal practices as aberrant.
Christians can't admit they're doing magic.
