It’s not every day that a sitting U.S. President speaks the name of Jesus Christ with such clarity, reverence, and sincerity—especially from the highest office in the land. But once again, President Trump is doing what no modern Democrat dares to do: unapologetically honoring Jesus Christ by name and celebrating the foundational Christian truths this nation was built upon.
In a powerful Easter message delivered from the White House, President Trump spoke from the heart, delivering a message that cut through the cultural noise and reminded millions of Americans what Easter is truly about—not pastel bunnies, not “spring renewal,” and certainly not the vague “Easter worshippers” terminology used by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to tiptoe around actual Christianity.
No, President Trump said the words: “Jesus Christ,” “resurrection,” “the cross,” and “everlasting life.” He said He is risen. It wasn’t political. It wasn’t filtered. It was just truth.
“Through the pain and sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we saw God’s boundless love and devotion to all humanity,” Trump said. “And in that moment of His resurrection, history was forever changed with the promise of everlasting life.” That’s not campaign rhetoric—that’s the Gospel.
“As we approach this joyous Easter Sunday, I want to wish Christians everywhere a happy, and beautiful, and blessed holiday. America is a nation of believers. We need God. We want God. And with His help, we will make our nation stronger…” –President Donald J. Trump ✝️ pic.twitter.com/f2jXqpobCK

Let’s just be real here: we didn’t hear anything remotely like this from Biden’s White House. Instead, we get the usual talking points about “diversity,” “equity,” and “resilience” as stand-ins for what Easter really means. And we all remember Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s infamous reference to Christians as mere “Easter worshippers” in their 2019 statements after the horrific church bombings in Sri Lanka. It’s almost as if they’re allergic to saying “Christian” or “Jesus.”
But President Trump? He embraces America’s Christian roots. He speaks openly about faith—not just when it’s convenient, not just for political theater, but because he actually believes in the power of God to guide this country. “We need God. We want God,” Trump declared. “And with His help, we will make our nation stronger, safer, greater, and more prosperous—and much more united than ever before.”
Amen to that.
In a culture that is increasingly hostile to faith, President Trump continues to be a rare leader who isn’t afraid to say the name that’s above every name. That matters. Because without God, America falls. With God, we rise.
He is risen, indeed.
