I can confirm. For some evangelicals, "laying on of hands" was used on average members of a church who were suffering, sometimes encouraged by the pastor of the church. It's been around since well before Trump.

Pentecostal Christians practice the laying on of hands as part of prayer for divine healing (faith healing) and the anointing of the sick.

You can call it pompous or whatever, but it's definitely not a form of worshiping the person getting hands laid on.
