Donald Trump Made Huge Announcement To All Christians … He’s The Only One Saying This
http://conservativetribune.com/trump-made-announcement/ ^ | July 14th, 2015

Donald Trump isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said. Now the billionaire, television personality and presidential aspirant has a straightforward message for Christians.

“The Christians are being treated horribly because we have nobody to represent the Christians. Believe me, if I run and I win, I will be the greatest representative of the Christians they’ve had in a long time,” Trump said in a recent interview.

In the midst of persecution in the Middle East by Islamic extremists and persecution at home by liberals who would take away the freedoms of religion and expression, Christians need a champion. The other U.S. presidential wannabes have largely failed to address directly the state of Christianity in the world. Trump is filling that void.

In the same interview, Trump criticized the Obama administration for its anti-Christian immigration policies. He exposed Obama for allowing Muslims who live in Syria to come to the United States while blocking the Christians in Syria.

“I learned this weekend … that if you’re a Christian living in Syria you can’t come into this country. Yet, if you are a Muslim living in Syria, who are not under attack, they can come in. We have Christians being beheaded all over the world by ISIS. In Syria and in Iraq, in particular, those Christians can’t come into this country,” he said.

And with such comments, the Trump bandwagon continues to take on passengers. David Brody of CBN is encouraging evangelicals to support the business magnate.

“Trump’s ability to cut through the clutter and paint the world in ‘absolutes’ attracts quite a few evangelical voters. Remember, evangelicals hold true to their ‘biblical absolutes,’ so to see a person like Trump let it rip and tell it like it is becomes a somewhat endearing quality to some evangelicals. Trump takes hits for his boldness, and evangelicals take hits from society for their biblical boldness, too,” stated Brody (H/T Shoebat.com).

In other words, while other candidates hem and haw, afraid of saying something that might antagonize potential supporters or raise the ire of a biased media, Trump blasts ahead and lays it on the line.

He may not be the most eloquent speaker, but Trump is capturing the imagination of Americans. That has made him an early front-runner in the race to the White House.

If you are inspired by Donald Trump’s willingness to reach out to Christians, please share this article with others on Facebook and Twitter who believe Christianity has been disrespected and minimalized by Obama in particular and liberals in general.

People disagree. It’s not necessary to have discussions like that. In fact, it turns people away from your point of view.

OK, I apologize for the roughness of my comment, however, you are either ignorant of the facts of this issue or lying. There is no opinion on this issue, just the facts. Cruz has been speaking out when no-one else has long before Trump got in the race.

Falsely calling providing the truth about Trump's position "Bad Mouthing" Trump does not help Trump one bit.

As if he needed the help.

Listen I am a Cruz fan but I said from the beginning the GOPe would never allow him the nomination, Trump may be their attempt to make sure Cruz doesn't make it.

Having said that if Cruz or any of the other would pay attention to what is working we wouldn't be having this debate. You should fear Carly more than Trump, she can actually speak in complete sentences, my 2¢

True but not enough people seem to be listening to Cruz. I trust Cruz more than anyone else running. I hope Cruz is on the top of the ticket. If not, I hope he’s the VP pick.

Until then, I hope Trump keeps talking about things that need to be talked about.

And if Cruz is not the nominee, I am not sure but I think Walker would be my next choice. If not him, Trump may be next. I don’t know yet.

Oh, I didn’t realize that the presidential candidates required your Christianity litmus test. How did I miss that?

He said he would defend Christians. That’s a very straightforward statement. He no doubt has noticed that our president appears to have no interest in Christians who are being murdered by Muslims in huge numbers. He is saying he cares and has an interest. Call me crazy; I have no problem with that.

I see your point, but from the other interpretation he could not leave the safety of the roof for the boat, helicopter or whatever because he was waiting for the “perfect” answer to his predicament by God. Anyway, I love the joke....reminds me of a couple of people I knew.

The Donald knows better than any other candidate how to get his message in the Headlines. He has intimate knowledge of how the TV media works.

But above all, the best thing about The Donald is that he does NOT need a sugar daddy yanking his strings. Every other professional politician needs a sugar daddy rich donor(s).

Cruz and Trump are pretty close on most issues, but every one is talking about Trump and he has surged to 1st place in 3 weeks. His favorability among republicans took a quantum leap of 34 points in a new poll.

Trump knows Hillary’s weak points and Achilles heel better than any other candidate. Because Trump has operated more in NY state.

If Cruz had $10 Billion, he would be better candidate than Trump. But Cruz needs rich donors who can yank his chain like when he pushed for Obamatrade, quite popular with the rich donors.

Trump can buy many Perot’s, and have money left over.

Trump might be just what we’re looking for, an “American Putin”.

Keep your compulsive, Commie-loving, erotic obsession with Vladimir Putin out of this perfectly good thread please.

You are on a conservative site that puts Social Issues at the top of the list in terms of priorities.

Get back to me when Trump mans up and starts truly being Pro-Life and takes a stand on the Gay Marriage issue.

Additionally, until Trump actually learns what the Constitution is about, and that it has to be his guide in all of his policy positions, he is unfit to be POTUS.

This is the Primaries; this is where you fight for the best candidate in term of conservative policy positions.

Cruz is that candidate and Trump is not.

I'm not interested in your suppositions where Cruz is concerned about being beholden to "rich donors".

If you have the ability to read minds and hearts, please tell me what I am thinking right now??

But only Trump understands that our international trade policies are the primary cause of our economic issues and high unemployment.

No, it's much more than that.

0vomit claimed to be a Christian in order to get votes. He also claimed that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman.

Trump says a lot of good things, but I am still not a fan. I’m grateful that he is not afraid to bring up some of these topics. Perhaps his best use in the coming election is to get some of these subjects out in the open. The media have a hard time shutting him down.

What I mean by "American Putin" is someone who stands up for his country and its values, someone who decides for himself what he believes in and follows through for us. A strong leader.

I think it's a term you'll be hearing.

I'll only be hearing it from the micro-minority of retards like you who post constantly in support of Vladimir Putin, telling us all about how he "stands up for his country" even while he stands on the corpses of thousands of his own people. Keep it up scumbag.

Maybe God is using this hedonistic gadfly to do this, to save this country and to save His people around the world. Our flawed Donald Trump

That's my thinking as well my FRiend! Strange times can call for strange leaders.

I made this graphic a while back when very few were taking Trump seriously.

I was called a fool for making up such a graphic... but it plays better every day.

Re: “No people on this earth deserve asylum in the US as much as the Christians in the Middle East, but they seem to get no consideration from the thing in the White House. Trump is right again and the only candidate speaking out on this that I’ve heard”

That’s because some time in the 50’s IIRC the US turned selection of those eligible for refugee status over to the U.N.
