Is he going to force everyone to read the Bible? He can’t name the Books of the Bible, make a reference to a Bible verse let alone quote one, or hold it the right way up. How is Christian ideology going to be imposed on the illiterate adulterer?
I hardly ever read the nonsense he’s spewing lately. Trump is famous for saying stupid shit, but now he’s purposely saying even crazier shit just to deflect from the growing support for the 14thA.
That’s super unconstitutional. But, just like the Bible, he’s also never read the Constitution.
Trump has mastered all seven sins so now he is expanding his knowledge.
Crazy gets let off the chain in this election cycle..best brace ourselves!!
Hold the line & Vote!!
He’s just using American christians to become a dictator, and a large portion of them have been tricked into believing him. It is scary shit.
I bet Trump can’t spell promise without help. I bet double he has broken more promises than he has kept. I bet triple his supporters are working with only one firing synapse.
What Trump is and stands for is the *exact opposite* of Jesus. So polar opposite that some might even say he was an anti-christ.
“Christian” ideology is just a means to control groups of people.
Is raw dogging porn stars while your wife is heavily pregnant inline with Christian ideology ???
Remember for a whole 8 years, Fox News kept fear mongering its audience by implying Obama would enact Sharia law? Well this seems to be a case of Sharia Law.
Hey look, it’s the Sharia law the GOP has been accusing the left of wanting to impose!
What a surprise!
In case of paywall:
“By Sarah Posner, MSNBC ColumnistIn recent campaign stops and on social media, Donald Trump has reprised lies aimed at inciting his Christian-right base against Joe Biden. These tirades, centered on the false charge that the Biden administration is persecuting Christians, aren’t just Trump’s typically dubious claims. Much like Trump’s lies about a stolen election, they are designed to immerse his loyalists in a grievance-laden alternative reality in which Trump alone can rescue them from an evil government threatening their freedom.
In a Dec. 19 speech in Iowa, for example, Trump pledged, “As soon as I get back in the Oval Office, I’ll also immediately end the war on Christians. I don’t know if you feel it. You have a war. There’s a war.” Speaking just after the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified him from appearing on the state’s GOP primary ballot, Trump tied this “war” to his own legal woes. “Under crooked Joe Biden, Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted and government has been weaponized against religion like never before. And also presidents like never before,” he added. “I always say Al Capone was treated better than I was treated.”
Trump has promoted the theme of Christian persecution in the past, but is elevating it again as these legal issues mount. His clear purpose is to deflect attention from his own criminal liabilities by insinuating that the same Biden administration he falsely claims is unfairly targeting him for prosecution is similarly persecuting religious Americans.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s ardent supporters see his and their “wars” as tied together. When he was indicted in a Manhattan court on charges that he illegally covered up hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, his backers compared this supposed persecution to that of Jesus Christ. In a Truth Social video two days after his Iowa speech, Trump made this persecution pact complete. He contended that under Biden, “Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted like nothing this nation has ever seen before.” Trump has also echoed wild and debunked claims from congressional Republicans about anti-Catholic bias by the Biden administration and the FBI in particular.
Ramping up his authoritarian rhetoric, Trump pledged in the Iowa speech to institutionalize an authoritarian crackdown of the same sort he falsely accuses the Biden administration of implementing. “Upon taking office, I will create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias to be led by a fully reformed Department of Justice that’s fair and equitable,” he promised. “Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment and persecution against Christians in America.”
In another speech, in Reno, Nevada, he pledged to go after colleges and universities for running afoul of his “religious freedom” edicts. “If colleges and universities discriminate against conservatives, Christians, Jews, anybody,” he said, “we are going to take away their tax advantages, grants and endowment.”
Lies about the persecution of Christians are very familiar to Trump’s base. During Barack Obama’s presidency, the Christian right and its GOP allies in Congress accused his administration of targeting Catholics with policies promoting access to birth control. After the Obama administration issued a regulation under the Affordable Care Act requiring employer-sponsored health care plans to cover contraception, Christian-right lawyers successfully took the administration to court, arguing that these requirements violated the religious rights of evangelical and Catholic companies and organizations run by religious opponents of abortion and birth control. When the Supreme Court enshrined marriage equality as the law of the land in 2015, Christian-right activists ginned up fears of widespread persecution of Christians, including raising the specter of an Internal Revenue Service that would strip the tax exemptions of nonprofits, including universities, that oppose LGBTQ rights. Needless to say, that never happened.
When Trump took office in 2017, he immediately moved to feed the Christian right’s persecution complex. A draft executive order circulated in the early days of his presidency proposed sweeping expansions of religious exemptions for right-wing Christians that would have legalized discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy status and abortion history in a staggering variety of contexts. Although Trump scrapped the executive order after an outcry, he signed a different order requiring then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to craft a policy protecting the religious and conscience rights of Christians, binding the Justice Department and all other federal agencies. The ACLU denounced Sessions’ subsequent memo as “a dangerously broad interpretation of religious freedom laws that will open the door to discrimination against LGBT people, women, and religious minorities.”
Although the Christian right has fearmongered that a Democratic administration would strip educational institutions of tax exemptions for anti-LGBTQ stances, they are welcoming Trump’s task force idea. “It would be good for a federal task force to investigate these concerns in a systematic way and ensure that religious freedom is being protected for all Americans,” said Arielle Del Turco of the Family Research Council’s Center for Religious Liberty.
One needs to look no further than Trump’s efforts during his first term, combined with his 2024 pledges to govern like a dictator, to see the authoritarian steps he is taking when it comes to “protecting” his base’s religious freedom. He is leaving little doubt that he will do whatever it takes to retain the loyalty of the base that has stood by him through an insurrection, two impeachments and now multiple criminal indictments. He is saying loudly and clearly that as part of his broader disparagement of the rule of law, he would shred everyone else’s rights in the name of his loyalists’ “freedom.”’
The joke is Biden actually goes to church every Sunday. Trump probably hasn’t been to a church since a prominent funeral.
What a fucking joke
I wonder why left leaning Biden Haters want this in their lives? Single issue over Gaza is gonna put our lgbtq friends in camps and it’s because you’re misinformed and selfish like a MAGA. Vote Biden or you might actually be crucified at this point. These guys are crazy
Evanhellical Christains had no trouble going to church on Sundays while supporting segregation 7 days a week from the 1860s into the 1960s, so their embrace of a racist POS is no surprise.
Project 2025
“First they came for…..”, jeez it looks like everybody.
LoL, just some normal, small-government, don’t tread on me things!
I hate this timeline so much
The First Amendment is quite clear about the separation of church and state.
Yes, the near supermajority of Americans are being persecuted.
🙄
I really wish the press would ask him which branch of Christianity is approved, and which ones will be banned. I’ll make popcorn
He’s not even a fucking Christian and these people kiss his ass like he’s Jesus
tRump forgot about freedom of religion. That part of the reason the pilgrims came over was to avoid religious persecution.
But I guess we just need to get over that.
If this new authoritarian Christian government enforces the Ten Commandments, Trump had better beware. His current legal problems may turn out to be the least of his problems…
Trump will say anything, promise, anything. His cult has already forgotten they did not build the wall. He never released tax returns. He never follows through on anything. He just lies like an open sewer.
