TFG Claims Nobody Has Done More 'for Religion Itself' Than Him

Former President Donald Trump lauded himself for the way he served religious communities in the U.S. during his time in office.

"Nobody has done more for Christianity or for evangelicals—or for religion itself—than I have, [doing] so many different things," he said during a phone interview with Devin Scillian on the show Flashpoint.

Trump referenced "getting rid of" the Johnson Amendment, legislation he described as "a very bad thing and very costly." Part of the U.S. tax code, the measure, which he weakened, bans nonprofits from supporting or opposing political candidates.




He noted that he gets more credit for what he has done for the evangelical community than what he did for the Jewish community in America, "but Israel's a very important element so nobody's done what I've done and I'm very happy to do it."

No one has done more to give religion a bad name. Fixed it for you.

That’s not him. Flashpoint is the local show he hosts on Sunday mornings.

The flashpoint with trump is on Victory(Kenneth Copeland).

That he just sat there grinning while the former guy uttered such blasphemies? Some of those folks who follow the former guy might be well advised to stop and think for a few minutes.
