President Trump launched his campaign outreach to evangelical voters Friday, telling thousands of Christian supporters at a megachurch in Florida that “God is on our side.”
“With your help, your prayers and your tireless effort to mobilize Christian communities across our land,” Mr. Trump said, “we’re going to win another monumental victory for faith and family, God and country, prayer and freedom.”
Referring to his victory in 2016 despite strong opposition from the media, the president told the faithful, “I really do believe we have God on our side. We’re going to blow away those numbers in 2020.” He urged the faithful to get their friends and neighbors to register to vote.
The president also drew cheers from the crowd at El Rey Jesus Ministry, a church in Miami featuring nearly a dozen jumbo TV screens, when he pledged to fight to restore school prayer.
“Very soon, I’ll be taking action to safeguard students’ and teachers’ First Amendment right to pray in our schools,” the president said. “We’re doing a big action [with] Attorney General Bill Barr. They [Democrats] want to take that right. We will not allow faithful Americans to be bullied by the hard left.”“
More than 80% of white evangelicals preferred Mr. Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, according to Pew Research, so retaining their support will be critical for the president’s reelection prospects.
A crack in his firewall appeared to form in recent weeks, when a prominent faith-based magazine — Christianity Today — published an op-ed slamming Mr. Trump as a “grossly immoral character.”
It said Mr. Trump abused his office by requesting investigations from Ukraine at the same time he held up military aid. The editorial slammed Mr. Trump’s behavior in business and with women.

He’s quoting Bob Dylan. Leftists have a problem with that?
We are on God’s side, the winning side.
I was in attendance at this event in south Miami last night.
It was PACKED with mostly latino Trump supporters.
Trump is right yet again.
“God is on our side.”
OMG!
Only a homosexual is allowed to say that!
I totally support our President but him saying that makes me cringe a bit.
God is not on our side. God IS a side. We should always be on Gods side.

Oh you wish
Hope Trump did not say “God is on our side”.
He should have said something like we will try to always be on God’s side. The Left even many Christian of all types will go prissy talking about tyrants who think God on their side.
