Trump Claims to Be Greatest President Ever for Evangelicals

By Justin Baragona


President Donald Trump continued to rail against evangelical Christian magazine Christianity Today on Friday for its scathing editorial calling for his removal from office due to his โ€œgross immorality and ethical incompetence.โ€ After previously claiming the โ€œfar left magazineโ€โ€”founded by Billy Grahamโ€”wanted a โ€œRadical Left nonbelieverโ€ as president, Trump ramped up his rhetoric by suggesting that he is a savior to all religions.

โ€œI guess the magazine, โ€˜Christianity Today,โ€™ is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion,โ€ the president tweeted. โ€œHow about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!โ€

Besides praising himself for keeping the communists at bay, Trump also thanked evangelical leader and loyal supporter Franklin Graham for โ€œstating that his father, the late great Billy Graham, voted for me in the 2016 Election.โ€
