NASHVILLE – Former President Trump says he will defend Christianity and religious freedom if he wins the White House in November. On Thursday, he addressed the convention of national religious broadcasters where his remarks were received enthusiastically.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of NRB, as Trump noted in his speech.
“This great organization helped spread the word of God, the love of Christ, the stories of the Holy Bible and the voices of evangelical people and famous evangelists like the late great Pat Robertson, who was a great gentleman. J “I know him very well. A great evangelist. And, of course, the legendary Billy Graham. How good was Billy Graham, right? Trump said.
Abigail Robertson, CBN White House correspondent, was on hand in Nashville for the rally.
“President Trump’s speech marks the sixth time a former or sitting president has addressed the NRB,” she reported. “President Biden and Republican primary candidate Nikki Haley were also invited to speak, but declined.”
In his speech, Trump touted the accomplishments of his first administration, including its record on abortion, Israel, the Supreme Court and judges, and religious freedom.
“And I will fight even harder for Christians with four more years in the White House,” Trump said. “We have done things that no one has ever done for the Christians of this country. And I am very proud and honored. Just think of what, with God’s help, we have already accomplished over the years. our first historic mandate.”

“I will also take historic steps to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology and restore the timeless truth that God created two genders, male and female,” he said. “I will keep men out of women’s sports and sign a law banning child genital mutilation in all 50 states.”
In another announcement, he promised to create a new federal task force to combat anti-Christian bias.
“But no one will touch the cross of Christ under the Trump administration,” Trump said. “I swear to you, this will never happen. This will never happen.”
