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.

Yep. And Trump could indeed be the real deal - this time.
But Hillary is out there, running for president, with no limits on what she will do to get it.
No. Limits.
You are missing the point. Of course, we trust in Jesus to take care of us, however, how does HE do it? Through people - such as Moses, David, Joshua, Peter, Paul and Mary. (I just added that last line for the Catholics on here). We are His hands, feet, and mouth on earth. Duh!!!
BTW, is Trump Christian?
“Trump is more of a politician than we realize. He says all the right things on all the right queues.”
Why is he the only one saying these things? Now, I know what you mean, but if a candidate really wants to stand up for Christians in that area, how else can he convey the desire?
Trump will decide to be the VP on someone's ticket about the same time Lebron James decides to play basketball in some European minor league.
Talk is cheap. What have been his acts?
Why would you want him to stop talking about the persecution of Christians?
Relax - Trump has never run for office before. Let him learn how to walk before expecting him to bring home an Olympic Gold Medal for the 100 meter dash.
He said in the Hannity interview that he is pro-life except for rape and incest. I watched the entire interview and he also said he was for a one-man, one-woman marriage. By the time the 2016 election rolls around, sodomy will be so ingrained into our society, that I’m not sure how it can be overcome - what are you going to do with all those who marry between now and then? Tell them they aren’t married? I think this issue will have to be kicked back to the states to resolve, as they have done with the abortion issue.
I look forward to the time when the appeal of “hugh and series” will fade forever.
I prefer Cruz. I am just not sure he’ll be able to get the attention to win. Otherwise, I believe Jeb will be the nominee.
I am against abortion. I am against homo marriage.
I am also against our national debt. I am for common-sense trade agreements. I am for a sensible immigration policy. I am for economic growth.
Yeah, I want it all but I realize I may not get all that I want.
After reading the posts on this thread I see that some are never happy.
At this moment in time Trump has the microphone and he is using it tremendously. That alone is good for all of us.
“I hate guys who want us to put GOV before GOD.”
I’ll have to ask you also, have you ever read the Old Testament?
So far GOD has not showed any interest in human affairs. Millions and Millions of people have died waiting to be saved from horrible deaths. Right nowII’ll take a MAN standing up to the evils presented to us. If God decides to stop the insanity now would be a good time.
;-(
Well, Walker has indicated he would like Rubio as a running mate. Yuck!
Yes, he pointed it out particularly in his Phoenix speech.
“Then Trump was asked about a abortion by a woman being pregnant, and not from rape or incest, and Trump answered that it depends on how far along the baby is.”
Don’t be a fool. Abortion in cases of rape and incest (almost always involving rape) is here to stay. And as for how far long the pregnancy is... BC pills and IUDs often cause abortion as well, and they are here to stay as well.
Fight battles you can win.
