In case you missed it, the President was in Miami yesterday to launch his “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition, with the mission of engaging the Christian community to help re-elect President Trump. Supporters from across the Sunshine State gathered at King Jesus International Ministry to cheer on President Trump, some arriving the night before to secure their places in line to see the President.
Speaking to "one of the largest majority-Hispanic congregations in the country”, President Trump touted his administration’s record of protecting religious freedom at home and abroad, stopping the attack on pro-life policies, and calling on all nations to end religious persecution.
During his speech, President Trump shared with his supporters the success of the recent airstrike in Iraq, eliminating Iranian terrorist Qasam Soleimani and delivering yet another blow to terrorism. CBS News mentioned, “‘He was planning a very major attack, and we got him,’ the president told a supportive audience.”
“From protecting religious freedom, to fighting for pro-life policy, to prioritizing appointing judges, President Trump has delivered for the Christian community. In 2016, 81 percent of Evangelical voters supported President Trump. Come 2020, Evangelicals in Florida and across the country will again play a crucial role in sending President Trump back to the White House.” — Trump Victory Spokesperson Emerson George

Christians cheer Trump in Miami as he says Soleimani’s “bloody rampage” is over

Speaking from the pulpit of a Miami-Dade County megachurch, President Donald Trump bragged to an audience of thousands Friday that he’d killed Iran’s top general and declared himself the greatest friend Christians ever had in the White House.
Trump, in some of his first public comments about the deadly drone strike he ordered Thursday against Iran’s Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani — and during an event designed to shore up his support among the religious right — said he had Soleimani killed in the name of peace.
“Qassem Soleimani has been killed and his bloody rampage is now forever gone,” Trump said, drawing roars from a crowd he estimated above 5,000 at Kendall’s Ministerio Internacional El Rey Jesus.

Trump’s comments about Soleimani came amid his launch of an Evangelicals for Trump coalition.
Thousands poured into the church — home to one of the largest majority-Hispanic congregations in the country — to pray, sing and cheer on the president. During an opening prayer delivered as the audience raised their hands toward the stage, El Rey Pastor Guillermo Maldonado compared Trump to the Biblical Persian King Cyrus, who freed the Jews from Babylon captivity and decreed that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt.

During Trump’s speech at El Rey Jesus, he said he’s been the most supportive president for Christians.
Christians “have never had a greater champion — not even close — than you have in the White House right now. Look at the record,” he said. “We’ve done things that nobody thought was possible. We’re not only defending our constitutional rights, we’re also defending religion itself, which is under siege.”
He said his administration has stood up to the pro-abortion lobby, defended the free speech rights of Christians on college campuses and promoted prayer in schools. He also claimed he “got rid” of the Johnson Amendment, which prohibits tax-exempt organizations such as churches from endorsing or opposing political candidates, to support the religious community.
