Republican presidential candidate and unabashed billionaire Donald Trump is touting his Christian roots as a proud Presbyterian and has pledged to be the greatest representative of Christians in office, if he becomes president.
In an interview with CBN less than a month before he announced his run for president on June 16, Trump — who currently leads all candidates for the GOP's nomination according to recent polls — touted his faith and promised that if he becomes president, he would be the best representative of Christians in the White House that America has seen in a long time.
"First of all I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian. I'm proud of it. I'm very proud of it," Trump told CBN's David Brody. "Believe me, if I run and I win, I will be the greatest representative of the Christians that they've had in a long time."
Two Saturdays ago in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump criticized the Obama administration for helping more Muslims from Syria immigrate to the United States than Christians, and touched on the persecution of Christians again during a campaign rally speech on Tuesday....

Pride goethe before the fall.
Yes, who does Trump think he is thinking he can do something about Christian persecution in the middle east? We all know Obama has the right idea in letting Muslims into the country and letting the Christians to rot. /s
Methinks the Donald doth protest too much...
Well...that must mean he’ll get elected lol
Are you referring to predestination by any chance?
What did Jesus Christ say about the proud Pharisees?
It's not arrogance if it's true, and if Trump really does do something about what is happening to Christians both outside and in this country, he really will be the best representative we'd had in a "long time."
I think Donald is a businessman who loves America. Beyond that, not so sure.
Not too long ago in America, most, if not all, non Catholic denominations preached the gospel
America was blessed by God's men preaching salvation by grace through faith
When the questioning started and denominational PEOPLE (not the congregants, themselves, nor their ministers) started argueing ... THAT'S when a lot of fracturing happened in the cohesion of America
He was answering a direct question.
Trump has rightly pointed out that the Prez is letting Syrina Muzzies emigrate here but not Syrian Christians. Who else is getting that out there?
If he said he was proud of Christ (or the Gospel of Christ; or in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ) I might have taken note. Saying he’s proud of his denomination is, at a minimum, a very misplaced pride.
“Believe me...”
I’ve noticed he says stuff like this quite often, and in my experience, people who preface their statements with phrases like that are not to be believed or trusted.
