The Trump scion, while hawking his new book Under Siege on right-wing commentator Benny Johnson’s podcast, argued “humanity and our world” is now “much better” with his father back in the White House — and then suggested they were “saving God.”  The Benny Show
“You know, we’re saving Christianity. We’re saving God. We’re saving the family unit. We’re saving this nation,” he claimed. “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.”

You can see even more reactions below:
No one “saves” God. Every Christian should know that and be repulsed by the very assertion. Yet, many professed believers have proven easy prey for such rhetoric, minds “seduced from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ” （2 Cor. 11:3）. May God bring repentance and renewal. https://t.co/DUzQbYbW75— Jennifer Erin Valent （@JenniferEValent） October 14, 2025
It is fascinating to see how much the Trump family lacks any sort of Christian formation. 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. https://t.co/PqY27uIEvR— Scott Barber （@thescottbarber） October 14, 2025
“We’re saving God.”
Now, THAT is White Christian Nationalism 2.0. https://t.co/Im3Sap4ODQ— Be A King （@BerniceKing） October 15, 2025
Eric Trump is not talking politics. Instead, he’s declaring a new moral order.

I’ve been thinking about it all day and I still haven’t figured out how the Trump family saved God. https://t.co/U9J22HnUis— Ron Filipkowski （@RonFilipkowski） October 14, 2025
“We’re saving God” has got to be one of the most arrogant things a human being can say. https://t.co/jEleQPCwJq— Jeremy Edwards （@jeremymarrell） October 14, 2025
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? https://t.co/Ul08RLwekn— Jon Favreau （@jonfavs） October 14, 2025

“We\“re saving God“ is a blasphemous statement that implies gross misunderstanding of the core tenets of the Christian faith and the nature of God. https://t.co/zN1UGY1ojQ— Joey Geresi （@joeygeresi） October 14, 2025
Was God in need of saving by humans? This concept seems theologically confused. https://t.co/D4dW6HpwD6— Carol Brani （@CarolOnAdvLaw） October 14, 2025
