Eric Trump Claims His Dad 'Literally Saved Christianity' | HuffPost

Just like he's saving Christmas and Thanksgiving. By Josephine Harvey10/06/2020 11:37 PM ET
Eric Trump has added a new fake achievement to his dad's collection.
He claimed during a radio interview in North Dakota last week that his father, President Donald Trump, "literally saved Christianity."
"He literally saved Christianity. There's a full-out war on faith in this country by the other side," Eric Trump claimed on WZFG-AM on Friday. "I mean, the Democratic Party, the far left, has become the party of the quote-unquote atheist. They want to attack Christianity, they want to close churches, they want to ― they're totally fine keeping liquor stores open ― but they want to close churches all over the country."
Some Democrats pushed for churches ― along with schools, businesses and other nonessential spaces ― to be shuttered or opened at limited capacity while the deadly COVID-19 pandemic spread across the country.
The president, whose white evangelical Christian supporters have remained among his most loyal during his time in office, made an empty demand that places of worship be reopened in May. However, he had no power to do so, and the decision ultimately fell to governors and local officials.

Beyond the churches claim, Eric Trump cited no other examples of what exactly Christianity was being attacked by or what Trump did to save it. He claimed Democrats are out to get the religion, even though the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers identify themselves as Christians.
The claim can be tallied up beside the Trump family's other baseless self-proclaimed achievements, which include saving Christmas and Thanksgiving from the nonexistent "wars" they claim are being waged against the holidays.

And then, Christ cringed...
Man..... what a cracker!
How bizarre can they get?
It seems the trump family and followers have found that if they distort the truth and vocalize it loud, brash and often enough they can convince their followers of damn near anything at this point.
I call that a cult.
A very dangerious one.
I no longer think that Trump has these people enthralled. I think they deserve each other! Remember, when I, we, maybe, thought the Trump family could not be down with all this? And then Eric speaks up! Who else is there left to speak and burst our bubbles about clear and present delusion: Baron Trump.
Yes, I have my suspicions that the boy is like his Dad too! Of course, I can't prove it, but the saying "The apple does not fall far from the tree" Melania and Donald are branches on the same (tree).
These "evangelicals" are just like Donald Trump in spirit and in purpose! Donald has shown them what he is about and they say, "Yeah, we know." Stop looking for a 'loophole' in the clause that will cause Donald supporters to opt-out. They are propping up Donald as he props them up!
You continue to support the lie/s, and are happy to worship a false idol.... How Christian of you!
Christianity and Donald Trump deserve one another.
Hal A Lujah, a blazen liar, cheater, and thief is a child of Satan, not a son of God. I am pretty sure I am clear on this one! (Smile.)
Eric the Idiot is the one to fear, not Junior.
Not true - it's the 24/7/365 haters that we have to fear. They just never quit with their conjecture/projection/theories/conspiracy crap to ruin everyone's day.
Who are they?
How does that description disqualify Eric or Jr.? They spew hate for profit and 'conjecture/projection/theories/conspiracy crap' every chance they get, just like daddy.
I will say this, however. MSNBC and CNN (at least) said they were going to drop coverage of Donald Trump after January 20th. Yet, both networks are "bigly" talking up CPAC and the coming attraction: Donald Trump at CPAC Sunday!
Of Course, the cable networks are going to air FORMER PRESIDENT Trump's CPAC speech LIVE after all their 'hard-work' and promotion.
It's sicking and incoherent! It's Trump pimpin' the networks!
And Donald will surely point to the back of the room and bombast the cameras arrayed there and the reporters too! Same as it ever was.
When the Trumps stop saying stupid things they'll stop getting press; The Trumps want press!
It’s Eric’s wife that is the one most likely to become the next elected member of the Trump family as a US Senator from North Carolina.
she'll be doing private lap dance$ in GOP circles when hubby and his dad end up in the can.
If he means he literally saved Christians by losing the election I'd say he's right. A whole lot of Christians were following him down a rabbit hole to hell.
How does a man who has broken way more than once the Ten Commandments save Christianity?
You are going to give yourself a massive headache trying to find reason in political bullshit.
Because I was a Christian for over 5 decades, I can easily answer that question.
Many sects of Christianity teach that everyone is born a sinner and Yahweh will "save" them in His own way in His own time. This is considered a fact because of the documentation in the NT of Saul's conversion. I will include the first part of an article that explains in part the "forgiveness" doctrine and why it was necessary in the first place. This is abusive brainwashing that defies logic. This is why it is important to instill these thoughts in young minds before they develop a healthy ego and sense of self.
I think not--therefore the circle argument that the first point of the same argument confirms the last point in that argument proves nothing.
"un-save-able?" Saved from what?
Yet repentance is required for salvation and Trump has admitted that he has never asked for forgiveness.
Think of this as somewhat similar to Constantine the Great transitioning Rome to dominant Christianity religion for a win-win. Also, it has an added benefit that people like Eric can run around vocalizing how Trump "did Jesus" a solid! Preposterous! But, it can still be spoken!
Talk about a sleazy way to slap yourself on the back...
Make up a fake problem, assign Democrats as the oppressors, wait a month and claim victory in a war that never even existed.
Classic trump..
Kinda like Moby Dick saved Captain Ahab.
Interesting how close a parallel can be made.
He protected religious liberty and religious values and beliefs better than any President since Reagan.
How exactly? Like what specifically did he do aside from blow smoke up your ass?
Eric, the toothy one, has accepted the 'deity status' of the Chinese Trump Merchandise Industry as confirmation of The Family's divine destiny.
None the less, if I were a Trump I'd concentrate on acquiring good legal council in the immediate future.
Lol I love this. Wonder exactly how the supposed followers of Jesus will square this one?
The Trumps hold their sycophants in contempt. They see them as gullible followers to be used. And the sycophants are apparently clueless that they are being exploited.
It truly boggles the mind. They could watch Trump smoke an 8 ball while fondling a 12 year old and being blown by a hooker right before he goes into a church, and they would "oh, well the lord works in mysterious ways!"
I am kidding of course, Trump can barely walk down a ramp, there is no way he can do all 3 of those things at the same time.
Trump's followers vow to the Golden Trump Troll...
Oh I have seen it... such a piece of shit lol. I wouldn't I am a fan of the arts, more apathetic than anything, but holy fuck that thing is a pile.
