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.

They are channeling Rodney King!
Because the GOP 'leadership' REFUSED to pay attention to him!
How many times are we going to get the football jerked away before we wise up?
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
“I beg to differ oh Donald, but I’ll take my chances with Jesus Christ . . . Who is the greatest defender of Christians ever.
Donald Trump, when the winds change you’ll be among the first to deprive Christians of their rights............”
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.
THAT is all he said-—in a long time..........and when I hear the pope saying things as he has of late, I worry even more for us...
“If that doesn’t happen, I am voting for TRUMP.”
I will never vote for that son of perdition anymore than I would for Clinton. IF he shows up at a general election because he screwed with the GOP primary, I will stay home. And millions of Evangelical conservatives like myself will as well. Folks had better wake up and stop paying attention to this guy, he is NOT good for the GOP, he is destroying any hope of consensus among the different conservative factions.
Folks should be VERY CLEAR that they may like what Trump “says”, but they won’t support the man. He is a proven con man that is only interested in Donald Trump...NOT the country or the issues.
Do you remember the last time a man ran for the presidency that argued that he was ‘born again?’ . . . today it is hard to tell whether or not he is really leaning Islamic.
Of course, I refer to Jimmah Carteh . . . and look where that got us. As soon as he was elected he started making goofy Pat Robertson type statements.
btw, he has since left the baptist church because of their ‘mistreatment’ of women.
“I will stay home. And millions of Evangelical conservatives like myself will as well.”
Did you stay home for Mitt?
Would you stay home for Jeb?
Well.. unless somebody has a speech impediment, praising them for speaking a sentence seems kind of silly.
Nope; but I sure as &#!! didn't VOTE for him!
The New Carmel, Indiana (big money) Mormon Temple is having an openhouse starting on Friday; running thru August 8th.
I'm going to go pray against it...
Well it depends on what you mean by "wise up"? See, I think Perot ran KNOWING that the GOP wouldn't "listen to him." His PURPOSE was to split the party, to enable the CLintons to gain the most votes in the resulting plurality and win the election. Perot PICKED subjects he knew the GOP couldn't, or wouldn't, budge on - that was WHY he was "running," do do just that.
Now look at Trump - he's doing EXACTLY the same thing. He's picked a subject ALL of the GOP candidates are already vested in avoiding, because that's what their money-backers demand. So they CAN'T go where Trump is going, and Trump knows it.
That's why Cruz is being so smart here - he's EMBRACING Trump's position (which he already supported anyway, btw). Cruz is therefore not letting Trump split CRUZ. And, from that position, he's no doubt asking Trump how he wants to play it - to fail helping the Clintons because Cruz beat him to the position he's taking, or to join Cruz and make it stick, and maybe be VP or have a high position in the Cruz administration.
Cruz is wicked smart. Trump is too, but Trump looks in too many gilded mirrors and likes shiny toys too much - he's a bad boy who hobnobs with ALL sides to make deals. That's WHY he's a billionaire. And it's also why I think Cruz is offering him... dare I say it, LOL... a "deal."
Very true. But many, many people also know Hillary's weak points. As that line goes in The Untouchables, though: "Everyone knows where the booze is. The question is, who's going to cross Capone?"
So far however, TPTB are utterly devoid of anything remotely related to balls. Why do you think Cankles cackles so much?
Cruz has been saying it from the beginning.
And unlike Donald Trump, Cruz didn’t support Barack Obama in 2008.
You going to vote for Jeb if he’s the nominee?
Well done!
What sentence would that be humble one?
Whichever sentence you choose to praise them for.
Was it hard to say? Difficult pronunciation?
Seems kind of goofy to cheer someone for saying what you said last Friday.
Agree.. hell yes. Worship or assign God-like status.. not so much.
I praise no man tho there are some I admire. Tom Cotton comes to mind for his loan stance against the Iran sell out. One in a hundred.
Lotsa conjecture here; got any proof of this 'conspiracy'?
