‘I Wonder Why Some Christians Were Confused About Donald Trump’ – Mike Bamiloye

Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, a prominent figure in the Nigerian gospel film industry and the founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, has voiced his discontent regarding the divisions among Christians, particularly within the United States, concerning their support for US President-elect, Donald Trump.

Mike Bamiloye articulated his dismay through his official handle on X, pondering the reasons behind the apparent division among Christians in their endorsement of a leader he perceives to be in alignment with Christian values.

In the Friday social media chat, Bamiloye shared a video clip in which Trump articulated his commitment to upholding moral values and his affection for Christ.

Bamiloye, whose ministry is distinguished by its faith-based films and messages, criticized Christians who found themselves at a crossroads in deciding which political party to align with.

He contended that Trump’s party’s policies are in harmony with Christian principles, in contrast to the opposition’s support for policies such as abortion, same-sex marriage, gender transitions, and the modification of children’s gender identities within educational settings.

“What is confusing about the options?” the cleric asked, suggesting there shouldn’t have been any confusion on who believers should support.

“I Seriously Love This!” Bamiloye wrote in response to Trump’s video, adding that he was shocked to see skepticism about the former president’s Christian values.

“Before the recent election, I was so shocked that some Christians were confused about Donald Trump,” he stated.

Bamiloye noted that some American Christians question Trump’s messages on faith and good values, speculating that his pro-Christian statements may be AI-generated or inauthentic.

In the viral clip, Donald Trump acknowledged, “Our country needs a saviour, and our country has a saviour, and that’s not me. There is someone much higher than me, and that is Jesus. We just do what we have to do. Life, death, and the resurrection of Jesus — all these are enough to save the world.

Without examples from His life and teachings—our miraculous founding, the Civil War, and more — none of these could have happened without Jesus Christ.”

In another comment, Trump, who made a historic comeback, defeating Kamala Harris in the US Presidential election, stated, “Jesus Christ is the most famous person in the world.”
