"Has Trump led you to Jesus yet?"
Indeed, all authoritarian despots are ‘fixated’ on religion. It’s merely a useful tool to keep the masses in line.
Quote:President Trump’s Fixation On Heaven Is Good For America
Having a president who is humble before God (and openly so) not only expands his political reach but also his moral reach.
It is not inherently strange that Trump is thinking in these terms. What’s more odd is that his predecessors evidently kept religion as far from their decision-making as they did.
Trump’s unapologetic acknowledgment of heaven—which is the ultimate goal every person should strive for—is only out of the ordinary in that it is not something his predecessors seemed focused on. Having a president who makes decisions with one eye on the world and the other on heaven is positive because it leads to decisions rooted in morality rather than earthly desires. Ironically, and only possible through God’s infinite abilities, when decisions are made with the main intention of pleasing God, earthly circumstances also improve (Proverbs 14:34).
Trump’s heavenly intentions are further affirmed by actions that exemplify a sincere approach to governing aimed at saving and improving lives. He has ended eight wars or conflicts since taking office and remains committed to ending another with the conclusion of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Democrats, on the other hand, do not even pretend to hold Christian beliefs, given how contradictory their policies are to those values. When Democrats do invoke God or Christianity, they most often do so by blasphemously misconstruing Christian teachings to benefit their own agendas.
Americans have historically proven to be easily influenced. This is why President Trump and other high-ranking administration officials —such as devout Catholics Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio—must continue to lead in their unwavering acknowledgment of the afterlife and glorification of Christ, as doing so will inspire Americans to turn their eyes to God and have a profoundly positive impact on the nation.
David succumbed to lust (and subsequently murder), Moses had a horrible temper, and Paul persecuted Christians. God used imperfect figures throughout history to lead people to victory while bringing others closer to Him. Trump’s reputation as a brash New York billionaire was not the blueprint most Christians identified with. What they could relate to, however, was a man who, while confident in his own abilities and proud of his accomplishments, becomes submissive, humble, and contemplative when it comes to Christ and his own salvation.
Of all President Trump’s accomplishments, if he—alongside other strong Christian leaders such as the late Charlie Kirk, who undoubtedly had a massive impact on this increase—can continue to lead people to Jesus Christ, regardless of how unorthodox his methods in this regard may be, that will be his greatest accomplishment of all.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
