One of Trump’s strongest bases in the 2016 elections was the Christian Evangelical.
An article posted by Christianity Today entitled “Trump Should Be Removed from Office” has been a talking point for the last few days, as Trump labeled the magazine “far-left” and said this as well:
“I guess the magazine, “Christianity Today,” is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion. How about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!” – Trump, Twitter
Just as Trump denounced the article, so did Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham, who was an evangelical that held a great deal of sway with past presidents.
“[my father] would’ve been very embarrassed that the magazine he started would call for something like this when there are no crimes committed.” – Franklin Graham
But fold after fold of Evangelicals have come out of the woodworks to state that the Christianity Today editorial is not representative of the general population, adding that the news center went out of being objective a long time ago.
But, if you would like to draw your own conclusion regarding the editorial, you can read it here.
Gratefully,
Matthew – StrictlyNews

It’s very disturbing for WORLD CHRISTIANS to receive a strange message of hate from a leader, who pretend to be a PEACE MESSENGER .As we know in every society, at times were FALSE supporters of ideological or religious propagandists, trained to provoke confusion, division and weakness.At this times a man invested with influence, was a target and used to provoke disruption in the World Christianity. Thanks GOD for prompt action of REAL CHRISTIAN LEADERS, to show the real face , goals and targets of this man used by HATERS OF AMERICA. His actions had a boomerang effects,THE CHRISTIANS ARE UNITED… Read more »
Selling your soul to the DEVIL George Soros who is a documented communist and you morons point fingers at our President TRUMP. It’s you damn democRATs that has fueled the race, hateful rhetoric and propaganda about our President TRUMP. Ya’ll should be so ashamed and embarrassed by your democRATic politician’s!!!!!!!!
No Franklin, your father would be embarrassed of you for selling your soul to the devil to gain favor with the most UN Christian like leader the U.S. has ever known. I hope it was worth it. May God have mercy on us all.
does the Christian magazine have anything to offer besides opinion?
And comparing Donald Trump to bill clinton isn’t the way to go.
How many people working at the magazine Agreed to this?
The best way to solve this, is to just make it a political speech, and not the majority of the magazines employees views.
AND THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY SHOULD SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE HE SUPPORTS CHRISTIANITY !!! A FEW MONTHS AGO NANCT PELOSI SAID PUBLICLY ON CAMERA THAT DEMOCRATS DISAVOW CHRISTIANITY !!!
I was once a subscriber to, and avid reader of Christianity Today. The magazine at that time had a reputation of representing Evangelical, conservative views. No longer. I let my subscription lapse sometime in the 1990’s because of what I felt were decidedly liberal political views expressed in the editorial section and modernist ecclesiastical views. Unfortunately, CT has become part of the problem in American Christianity, and not the healer that the Christian religion is supposed to be.. Now they have shamed us all, and they certainly do not represent me, nor many other conservative Christians. Shame on Christianity Today… Read more »
It is the media and those who hate President Trump for whatever reason, who are failing to tell the truth in the vast majority of issues. President Trump has done more good for this nation than any recent president. He may be unorthadox, but he gets the work done what America needs to have completed.
