At Evangelical events people in the audience stand with their hands in the air swaying to music for long stretches of time. I think Trump has been intentionally emulating that. As with all things Trump, he first "tests the waters" to see what works on his audience and what he can get away with and then ramps up whatever the particular rhetoric and/or behavior might be.
