It's a bit more entrenched than that. Mormons theology is elitist, racist, sexist, and hierarchical. The entire religion is built upon fear and a superiority complex.

Under the leadership of Benson, a staunch John Birch society member, and others like him the cult converted from a theocratic communist organization to an extreme rightwing corrupt corporate behemoth.

Today the Mormon church is one of the wealthiest organizations on the planet. They have a massive ownership of agricultural land, real estate, mega-corporations, and over a hundred billion in stocks and bonds. Billions of dollars of tax free money donated from members has that effect over 50 years. They give almost nothing of their take to humanitarian causes.

Mormons voted against Trump because Romney (long time Mormon elite family) was running. From 1951-1988 Marion Romney (a relation of Mitch) was part of the elite church leadership. It was not because they were against Trump.
