The Washington Examiner has spilled the beans on what the Left is bugging out about – the possibility of a second term for former President Donald Trump, and what he’s planning to do with it. And, folks, spoiler alert: it’s got something to do with Christian nationalism.
Faith and flag: Trump allies push for deeply conservative second term https://t.co/z4lWpEKa3y https://t.co/z4lWpEKa3y

First off, everyone’s jaw has dropped at the thought of Trump getting a do-over in the White House. Imagine the hand-wringing and panicked whispers about the kind of people he’d bring on board this time. But hold onto your hats, because the Left has been peddling this wild tale that Trump’s second term will be all about shoving Christian nationalist stuff down everyone’s throats. As if traditional Christian values were something to be looked down upon!
The Trump campaign’s been trying to set the record straight, insisting that they’ll be calling the shots on policies and who gets to come play with them in a future administration. They’ve been practically sending smoke signals to get the message across, but no such luck. The media’s been gulping down the Left’s Kool-Aid and spouting off about what Trump’s second term might look like, despite the campaign’s memos trying to shut it down.
But here’s the real kicker: the folks over at Project 2025, which is like this big group of heavy-hitting conservatives, are getting everyone all riled up with what kind of policies they might push for in a future Trump administration. The Left’s trembling in their boots, fearing the day Trump might actually do stuff that reflects the values of the folks who voted for him in the first place.
See, the term “Christian nationalism” isn’t exactly a warm and fuzzy phrase for conservatives, even though they believe in old-fashioned morals and think the U.S. was built on Judeo-Christian values. But the Trump campaign’s been like, “Nuh-uh, not happening,” and pointing back to those memos they sent out in December to clear the air.
Now, some of these Project 2025 groups have been more open about how their faith shapes their view of policy. Take the America First Policy Institute, for example, where they straight up put out a pamphlet titled “Biblical Foundations — Ten Pillars for Restoring a Nation Under God.” And, yes, they mean business with stuff like energy independence and secure communities.
And then there’s this Russ Vought guy, a former Trump official who’s been defending the term “Christian nationalism” like it’s no big deal, using Bible verses to back up his policies. The Trump campaign’s letting everyone know that, in a second term, they’d be all about pushing GOP policies, even if they’re not wearing their faith on their sleeves.
But, wait for it, the Biden campaign’s been having a field day trashing Trump and his supposed Project 2025. They’ve fired off more emails about it than you’ve had hot dinners, warning everyone that Trump’s gonna do all these terrible things, like ban abortion and hike up housing costs. It’s honestly like a playground fight, with Biden pulling on everyone’s pigtails and screaming, “Trump’s gonna wreck everything!”
Trump’s not taking any of this lying down, though. He’s been promising to wrestle for his Christian supporters in a second term and defend their religious freedom like a knight in shining armor. He’s been telling everyone that, under his watch, no one’s going to lay a finger on the cross of Christ. And if that doesn’t put the fear of God into the Left, well, nothing will!
