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.

He said he opposed Common Core. Other than Cruz, who else?
I prefer being woefully ignorant.
I prefer Cruz but then Walker but if they’re not going to get any traction, I will be supporting Trump.
I have no clue.
“I am wondering why candidates don’t indicate who they would have as their running mates right up front.”
Because it doubles the chance that a stupid word or deed takes you both out.
Also, Trump is BRINGING ATTENTION TO ISSUES that others haven’t been able to do. If you cannot appreciate that, you’re woefully ignorant or just plain lying to yourself.
So it could be done....it’s not against any law?
I’m thinking the benefits would outweigh the risk. Synergy.
That is a big fat lie. Calls into question the rest of this write-up.
He’s not a social conservative, and if that’s one of your requirements, don’t vote for him.
AND?
THAT makes this article rather dated.
>>But it seems prudent to trust in God more than a guy who wants to take care of Christians.
Ever hear the story of the guy on his rooftop in a flood, waiting for God to rescue him?
The story ends with God telling the guy, “but I sent you a boat and a helicopter.”
Well, a second issue he is dead 100% correct on.
Christians do not have anyone representing them.
The republicans do not fight for them. They make excuses to them. They run away from their own Christian beliefs, if they ever even held them at all. Walker just did it today.
Because they want to rule the same way the democrats do.
Nobody wins an argument trying to be unoffensive.
Being “unoffensive” means you can’t ever present an effective case for your position. Nowadays just not agreeing with a liberal offends them automatically.
This is a sad plight. I wish that this message would go BIG SCREEN and front page. WHY, if this is true haven;t we heard about this. It is the Christian population that is facing being exterminated, and the Muslim population poses a threat if brought to the USA? This should be a battle cry
Could this somehow be the result of the recent meeting between Trump and Cruz?
I can only imagine!
F all the anti-Trump clowns. Can’t grasp the big picture. I never thought I would witness such shortsightedness on this forum. Never.
1) Build the wall. (Jeb is horrible, Hillary sad)
2) Defend Christians globally. (crickets)
Two topics - just two so far - and both resonate with me like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
TRUMP!!
Yes...
What’s your point?
How many times did Samuel plead with the Hebrews that wanted a “king” to know what they were getting?
And look at what happened....
Nobody to my knowledge—at least he’s also against it.
Thanks for confirming!
