President Donald Trump's son Eric is now claiming that his father has saved Christianity and is "saving God," according to the Christian Post's Ryan Foley.
These latest claims come following a series of bizarre claims by the president's third child, who most recently claimed his "father was guided by God," and "saving humanity."
Trump, Foley writes, has credited a higher power for his father's notoriety.
"He made my father a household name to all of America," Trump said recently, adding "I think my father was also the imperfect man,” he added. “That’s exactly how the Bible worked.”
Trump also noted that his father has had “multiple wives” before saying that the Bible contains several examples of how “the unconventional imperfect person was the person who was actually always chosen to actually save kind of humanity.”
Following his father's admission that he's "not Heaven bound," Trump balked, saying, "Make no mistake, he is Heaven-bound," adding that he's "seen the hand of God" on his father often, pointing to the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“We’re saving Christianity, we’re saving God, we’re saving the family unit," Trump said on a conservative podcast, adding, “We have a return to people going to church, … valuing their children and valuing society and believing in the white picket fence and what the American dream represents."
These claims come as religious leaders say that his father is actually doing the opposite, preventing freedom of worship with his harsh immigration policies that are keeping worshippers away from houses of worship out of fear, calling Trump's promise to make America beacon of religious freedom a "sham."
"Eric Trump’s comments, I think, fail to appreciate that Christianity predates the Trump administration. Christianity, of course, does not need saving," said David Closson, director of the Family Research Council’s Center for Biblical Worldview in an interview with The Christian Post.
"American Christians shouldn’t be looking to any administration for what only God Himself can do. And so, I think that’s important for Christians to understand,” Closson said.
