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.

Trump for Christians!
This is hugh and series.
I am wondering why candidates don’t indicate who they would have as their running mates right up front. A desirable ticket would be much easier to support.
It would be lovely if Trump and Cruz decided to do this. That would be one tough ticket at this point.
Here's a better question - why isn't a guy who supported Hillary being a wimp?
Is he, perhaps, having an effect on the Republican vote split? Check.
Will that reduce the overall number of available votes for other Republican candidates? Check.
Figure out how the rest of those votes play out, and you'll know, one way or the other, why Trump is being so brave.
(Hint: He's a billionaire, with a "b." He doesn't live in your world, and he doesn't live in the world of millionaires, either. Remember that when you're trying to figure out his motivation.)
What's my opinion? Given that Cruz is saying all the right things and WAS the rising star on the Republican side, call me "skeptical as hell."
Beware another Perot - it's how the Clintons got elected last time:
From a webpage that REALLY doesn't want you to read it, LOL: http://www.zerofiltered.com/donald-trumps-gop-hillary-wins/
I hate guys who want us to put GOV before GOD.
Where does Dono stand on baby genocide?
Common Core?
Gay Mafia and their lawsuit happy targeting of Christians?
Islam?
He seems to be swinging a whole lot harder than the rest of the RINOs though.
Correct
He seems to be making a stand against it more than most.
“But it seems prudent to trust in God more than a guy who wants to take care of Christians.”
Your comment reminds me of the helicopter joke...
The goal of health care reform should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. "Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork."
From Trump's 2000 campaign literature. Apparently, this is still true - he does not like Obamacare, but believes that universal hc would be the way to go.
It’s about time the Republicans had a candidate like Trump with a strong voice that cuts through a crowd like a knife. Trump is one of the strongest personalities to come along in years. Contrasted with Trump, Hillary looks and sounds like a groveling loser. So Trump’s campaign is brilliant!
To me he clearly said “if I am the Republican candidate (if I run) and if I win”................
Trump would make a brilliant VP with that mouth defending the President and his policies.However, President? , not sooo much.
Reagan used to be a democrat.
“I beg to differ oh Donald, but I’ll take my chances with Jesus Christ . . . Who is the greatest defender of Christians ever.”
Have you ever read the Old Testament?
They want access to party cash. Trump doesn’t care. He knows where he can get cash if he needs it.
Frankly, he’s getting the coverage for free, so there’s nothing for him to buy. As for a ground game and a national organization - done.
This is why Rove is afraid of him, as are the rest of the absolute quislings running on the left (used to be the right, but hey).
Cruz is the only exception. If he had his own cash, he’d be as dangerous. He’s starting to roll that up now.
Bush is already done. He’s toast.
Trump has said many times that he opposes Common Core.
And your questions about gay marriage and abortion is actually one question:
What sort of judges would Trump appoint to the SCOTUS. I haven’t heard him address that yet.
