In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, President Donald Trump says persecuted Christians will be given priority when it comes to applying for refugee status in the United States. We are going to help them, President Trump tells CBN News. Theyve been horribly treated. Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough to get into the United States? If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair.
The Brody File conducted the interview Friday morning in the Blue Room at The White House. More newsworthy clips are coming soon. The entire interview can be seen this Sunday at 11pm on Freeform (cable TV, formerly ABC Family Channel) during our special CBN News show. This is just the third interview President Trump has done from The White House and it will be the only interview that will air in its entirety this weekend.

DAVID BRODY: Persecuted Christians, weve talked about this, the refugees overseas. The refugee program, or the refugee changes youre looking to make. As it relates to persecuted Christians, do you see them as kind of a priority here?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Yes.
DAVID BRODY: You do?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Theyve been horribly treated. Do you know if you were a Christian in Syria it was impossible, at least very tough to get into the United States? If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians. And I thought it was very, very unfair. So we are going to help them.
Another great move by President Trump.
YES!
So much winning! More please! There’s a lot more needed to make up for the last 30 years.
AMEN!
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!
It’s so right for him to do this, and so awesome.
I believe we’ll see an even bigger collective meltdown of the left over this. I think they hate Christians almost more than anything else.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Glad someone noticed.
Trump can take the next 93 days off and his first 100 would still be graded an A+.
Can a Christian Albertan man claim refugee status?
They’re busy in Ottawa today trying to pass a law to make it illegal to even critize Islam.
Won’t be much longer now before I’ll be forced to run around with a broadsword.
Intercepting Obama’s $220mil last second terrorism pass to the Palestinians was also terrific
It should’ve been policy from day 1, if you’re going to bring in ANYBODY from over there...you’d damn well better make sure their values align with the host countries. Obama outright despises Christianity & Judaism and he flat out saw this as an opportunity to fundamentally change the nation and flood it with Muslims
Are Canadian Universities also filled with Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel nuts?
THIS is what I have been longing to hear. Helping the persecuted Christians. Long overdue.
I'll take a contrarian position on this:
Send them somewhere else.
We don't need any more foreigners, student Visas, H1Bs, immigrants, asylum seekers, migrant workers, or refugees - even if they are "Christian."
There are PLENTY of other places on planet Earth for these people.
We don't know a thing about these "Christians." Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama are all "Christians" too. The "Christian" label doesn't change my mind about letting ANY MORE FOREIGNERS into this nation.
Re-settle them somewhere else. I'm tired of America doing international good deeds and ending up being suckered and screwed.
Oh Ya, even worse than there.
Most true Albertans and Saskatchewan folk are real decent, but we’re being overrun.
I went to US last September for three weeks, then turned into three months because of a lack of skilled trades, and it’s pretty much the same.
I ran a job in Nashville and had the locals pretty scared, they called me the American Canadian, because they said I was more American than they were heh.
It was pretty good. I was supposed to move down for good, but outfit wanted me as employee, and I couldn’t run my truck and I prefer working for myself.
Here’s hoping Trump annexes Alberta haha.
BOTH of my Parishes I’m sure will be happy to welcome and to aid any Orthodox Christian refugees!! We’ve done it before and can do it again!!!!!
But the UN will not help get these people out alive. Lord have mercy!!!!
God Bless President Trump!
What I didn’t know until last year was that Donald Trump had been quietly supporting persecuted Christians for some time, particularly Pastor Saeed Abedini, the Iranian-American pastor imprisoned in Iran for 4 awful years. Trump had met Abedini’s family during that time, given them $10,000 for support, and helped Pastor Abedini after his release.
This story has a miraculous side to it. The following is excerpted from a CBN interview with Pastor Abedini last November.
Christian Pastor Saeed Abedini says he is backing presidential candidate Donald Trump after a vision he had four years ago in an Iranian prison.
“I saw a young man with blue eyes, blond hair. I was sitting with him in a room,” Abedini said in an interview with the Huffington Post. “Someone told me, ‘He’s going to be the next president of the United States and you’re going to be friends with him.”
Abedini said that he did not recognize the man in the vision, and when the original candidates for the race were announced, none of them matched his vision, so he thought the vision was referring to a future election.
He told the Huffington Post that he found the “blue-eyed, blonde man” in a Facebook post and he started to shake.
The picture was of a much younger Donald Trump.
“Oh my gosh, this is the one that I saw in the dream!” he told the Huffington Post.
“I believe that this was a vision from God,” said Abedini.
He believes his vision was of Trump when God decided he was supposed to be President.
This is great news.
