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.

Sounds like a POLITICIAN the Dems can vote for!
I’d vote for darn near ANYONE who is NOT a democratic/liberal/idiot!
Lots a conjecture it's conjecture; got any proof it's a conspiracy yourself? How can it be a conspiracy if it was done openly in front of the whole country? Where's the conjecture since Perot DID split the Republicans, DID then drop out and sabotage his own campaign, and the Clintons Did then win directly BECAUSE of that vote split?
Or do you think when hundreds of millions are spent in such a dance by major political and corporate powers it is an accident? Do you believe in fairies, too?
I am arguing against the WHYs that you capitalized.
You seem to be privy to INSIDE information that I wasn't aware of.
The caps are the facts. I presented the caps AS the facts. And my point is that nothing is hidden. If you can't, or won't, connect the dots, that's your issue, not mine.
Then you are able to LINK to these facts.
Will you?
Nope. If you can't Google Perot and read the open history of what happened, even the Wikipedia version, then what you understand is irrelevant, because you simply don't count, and spending any more time indulging your juvenile insolence is a total waste of my time.
Will these sources have the same CAUSES for the history that you have posited?
It is not my desire to waste your time; I just want to understand the WHY behind things.
You told us all here WHY; as you seem to understand it.
I merely want to know HOW you got to the WHY of the matter.
Spinach.
“Did you stay home for Mitt?”
No, but I wished I had of. Not because he was a GOPe, but because he was a Mormon cultist and I knew he shouldn’t be POTUS.
“Would you stay home for Jeb?”
Yes, he meets minimal standards. I don’t want him, but I would vote for him over Hillary.
However, I WILL NEVER support that devil Trump. He is a terrible person and dangerous. I will not support him in any way whatsoever, and I think those that do are incredible foolish and naïve.
Right now, I personally support Senator Ted Cruz. However, I don’t think he should “bad mouth” Trump, but he should not be supporting him even remotely. Ted should follow Mike Huckabee’s lead and say, “I am going to talk about my campaign and not about Trump.” I believe Walker is doing the same. It hurts me to see Ted suck up to Trump in the hope of getting his voters when he finally fades (God willing Trump will do when folks grow weary of him). Senator Cruz does not need to say anything about Trump...Senator Cruz needs to focus on HIS message: which has been really good.

Cruz is my favorite too. The problem is he’s battling the democrats and the republican party. Another problem is that he’s not getting the attention he deserves. Hopefully that will change in time.
HA!
The ONLY way to do that is to REGAIN control of the information flow in this country.
Good luck indeed!
“The following have taken much stronger stands on the social issues than Trump:
1. Ted Cruz
2. Scott Walker
3. Mike Huckabee
4. Rick Santorum”
At least 2, and I think at least one more of that list don’t matter a hill of beans as to what they say on social issues, because they’re unelectable, imo. Trump may very well have a chance. Some of you thought it would be better to have Obama in 2008/12 than having an imperfect Republican candidate...now you know, or should know that that is not correct.
