Trump IS a Christian in the same way I am a Christian. We were raised to believe a certain thing and generally get our values from Christianity, but we aren't very good Christians in terms of going to church, following all the rules, and having strong beliefs on the subject.
Here is the difference between Trump and Obama.
There is a serious war and refugee crisis going on in the middle east. Lots of people are dying. There are millions of refugees. It's a bad situation and every Christian and Muslim should be concerned.
While this is going on there are Christians being systematically raped and slaughtered, but not over the political power struggles. It's specifically because they are Christian. It's a purge in the same way the Jews were purged in Europe.
So what should the priority be?
That's not so easy. Maybe this is my own
Christian bias showing, but I think most rational people would say there are plenty of very rich Muslim countries in the region that could and should be helping with all the refugees. They might also be worried that if we let thousands of unvetted Muslims into the US we would be taking on some incremental security risks because our involvement in the region makes us a target for many people there that hate us. So if we were going to take in anyone and do our fair share to help, we should probably start by trying to identify the Christians. There's no one there to help them. They are being systematically purged. The security risks would be lower.
Obama focused virtually all his energy on bringing Muslim refugees here.
Trump immediately said the Christians should be the priority.
IMO, Trump's view does not necessarily make him a Christian. IMO, it makes him either rational or biased towards Christians because he identifies with them.
IMO, Obama's actions indicate he's either irrational, has a bias towards the Muslims, or both.
