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.

Luv it.
Why are all the other republican candidates such wimps?
Thanks, Don. But it seems prudent to trust in God more than a guy who wants to take care of Christians.
But keep talking about immigration. It needs to be said.
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’ve read this before. Is this true?
I beg to differ oh Donald, but I’ll take my chances with Jesus Christ . . . Who is the greatest defender of Christians ever.
Donald Trump, when the winds change you’ll be among the first to deprive Christians of their rights.
He is pushing all the right buttons. But how long will it last?
Not to detract from his message/statement, but he's been running for at least 3 weeks now and filed his financial's today!
IOW, this author's definition of recent, differs from mine.
:)
“Why are all the other republican candidates such wimps?”
Because they believe the mantra told to them by leftists, msm, and rinos. That in order to be successful and win, you have to act like a leftist. This means they really have no shot at winning because a rino is really a leftist-lite, and why vote for a leftist-lite if you can have the real thing and go all the way with a real leftist.
Well done Mr. Trump!
Leave no Sacred Cow unbarbequed!
God doesn’t seem to be doing a hell of a lot for those pre teen girls being sold in ISIS slave markets.
Just sayin’.
L
Trump is against abortion.
You’ve got anyone else that can win?
Yeah, I prefer Cruz but I am not sure he can win.
I note you have omitted the name of the author.
I'd like to ask that author how he knows nobody else is saying this.
I've been hearing and saying that same stuff for years.
So have all my friends. I call bullshit, hyperbole to make a good headline.
If they need to lie about it, screw 'em.
Can't you imagine if he were President or Vice-President how different our Country would be? No secret meetings, no ‘aiding and abetting’ our enemies, no ‘illegal immigrants’ coming into America, less welfare (heaven forbid, some people would actually have to work for once), and the military would be honored, along with the government ‘nests’ would be gone, and the economy of our Country would be better....I can't wait....
You read my mind.
Trump is more of a politician than we realize. He says all the right things on all the right queues.
It’s no wonder he’s a billionaire.
No people on this earth deserve asylum in the US as much as the Christians in the Middle East, but they seem to get no consideration from the thing in the White House. Trump is right again and the only candidate speaking out on this that I’ve heard.
Go Donald!
He’s right to talk about this. Since God has been pretty silent on this issue, why shouldn’t a man talk about it?
