Trump fights against political correctness. That's the greatest threat Christianity has faced since Marxism, not surprising since it comes straight from Marxism.
If we don't stand up against PC the Bible will be banned as hate literature in our lifetime. Make no mistake, when they get people fired for making a comment alluding to the historic Christian view of marriage and homosexuality they are gearing up for a full scale war to ban the Bible.
Trump is the first significant public figure to push back against PC since the Moral Majority collapsed.

Prominent pastors don’t speak out about pretty much anything these days. When the “gay marriage” U.S. Supreme Court ruling was announced last summer, I took a look at the Twitter accounts of quite a few of them, including Rick Warren and Charles Stanley. They ignored it completely. Warren must have gotten a heads up what the decision would be, or didn’t want to risk being anywhere near the U.S., because he just happened to be halfway across the world at the time, in the Philippines I believe, and if I recall correctly, he tweeted something the day before about doing baptisms there, but that was his only tweet for a number of days. And almost all of them are silent and do nothing about religious freedom issues as well. Instead they work on churning out Christianized psychobabble and self-help in their megachurches and in their cottage industry of books, calendars, Bibles, home decor, etc. Max Lucado did take time out from all that to condemn Trump’s presidency. As he said, it was such a dire situation that it was only one of a few times in decades that he’d ever felt compelled to take a public stand on anything. Apparently he’s otherwise been content with how the world is going.
But Christians, too, are overall too distracted with the quite probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of things that can - and are meant to - distract people these days, from the new Star Wars movie last year to the season opener of Game of Thrones, to name just two.
And I have been glad for anyone who speaks out for Christianity and against everything in political correctness which is against it. But Trump has flip-flopped on abortion, and has himself declared his approval of men using the women’s restroom, and women using the men’s.
It doesn’t seem likely that anyone with broad enough appeal, and the connections, to get elected to most public offices these days will be committed to Christian beliefs. But again it is hardly only the fault of politicians or the elites because Christians are being consumed by the world’s distractions.
