Eric Trump is catching flak for claiming that humanity and the world are now “much better" because his father is back in the White House.
“You know, we’re saving Christianity. We’re saving God, we’re saving the family unit. We’re saving this nation,” he said, speaking to right-wing commentator Benny Johnson.
He continued, “I mean, you know, DEI is out the window, Benny. You know, I mean, you no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell, all of this is dead.”
As The Huffington Post reports, critics like X user Mike Inacay are saying his “saving God” comments are “maybe the most insane and offensive thing anyone can say."
“No one ‘saves’ God,” X user Jennifer Erin Valent chimed in. “Every Christian should know that and be repulsed by the very assertion. May God bring repentance and renewal.”
“It is fascinating to see how much the Trump family lacks any sort of Christian formation,” X user Scott Barber added. “They use the language of Christianity like someone stumbling with a foreign language. It's almost like they just adopted the trappings of Christianity in order to exploit it for power.”
Another X user added: “We’ve moved rather quickly from ‘God saved Trump’ to ‘Trump is saving God,’ which I guess is the foundation of the new MAGA religion?”
