Donald Trump: Defender of Christendom?
New American Prophet ^ | May 3, 2025 | Raymond Ibrahim

Posted on 05/03/2025 6:49:20 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

Is Donald Trump on his way to becoming the world’s chief Defender of Christianity? That’s what various media have been reporting; one Fox News headline asserts that Trump is “Vowing to ‘Defend the Christian Faith.’”

These claims trace back to a White House statement released on Palm Sunday (April 13) wherein Donald Trump spoke of Jesus Christ and Easter, or Resurrection, Sunday in terms that would edify the most faithful of Christians. A few snippets from Trump’s statement follow:

Defend the Faith.

Once, defending Christians was seen as a good thing. It will be again in the future.

He got “who”, exactly? The atheists who’ve never been in a pew in their life? The leftists who always mock Catholicism and the Holy Trinity anyway?

I’ll admit that my wife is far better Catholic than I am, but I do attend mass regularly, i.e., I’m a practicing Catholic. Indeed, we’re about to head off for my Godchild’s first communion (my niece of my wife’s youngest sister) tomorrow.

I do think God has a sense of humor, but I think this is poor taste and wish PDJT wouldn’t have posted it. My wife grumbled a bit about the joke about being Pope - I thought it was amusing, she didn’t.

But this time - and I didn’t show the Truth post to her, but someone else sent it to her - I think she’s right. It was a mistake at best, in bad taste.

I suspect 80% of my congregation voted for Trump, probably more. The only people being trolled are the faithful Catholics who voted for him.

America First is Christianity’s best friend.
Law and order is Christianity’s best friend
Justice is Christianity’s best friend.

America has had hostile parties in its Oval Office that have been America Last, as well as agents of lawlessness, disorder and just us..

All religions interested in the above should feel like they’ve got an ally in the Oval Office.

The problem is who will be Trump's successor? JD Vance may be the guy.

Then after him?

Remember we had guys like John McCain and Mitt Romney running for President.

Maybe read it at its primary source, instead of the copy and paste, clickbait version. I’m sure Mr. Ibrahim would appreciate getting his own clicks.

“America First is Christianity’s best friend.
Law and order is Christianity’s best friend
Justice is Christianity’s best friend.”

Bears repeating

Thanks for the response Cap’n. Yes, I agree, Pres. Trump is often his own worst enemy with his off-the-cuff remarks and postings. But then that’s what most of his MAGA supporters like about him. You can argue ‘til you’re blue in the face that it isn’t terribly presidential to refer to a well-known female celeb as a “fat ugly pig,” but the MAGA crowd love it.

He’s done more to defend it that any president in the recent past.

Reagan may have been the last one before him but I don’t remember much.

Depends on how long a reprieve God decides to give us.

Go look up Mohammed frieze in supreme court of the US. It has been there since the 1930s.
