President Donald Trump on Saturday delivered a full-throated defense of his presidency at the Values Voter Summit, calling Democrats “crazy” over their impeachment inquiry, touting his recent withdrawal of troops from Syria and pledging to fight for religious liberty in America and around the world.
The president also touched on topics close to the heart of the conservative Christian voters that make up a solid and largely unwavering share of his base, such as the contentious nomination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the moving of the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, abortion and religious freedom — painting the Democratic Party as standing against everything they are for.
"The Kurds are tending to leave and that's good. Let them have their borders. But I don't think our soldiers should be there for the next 50 years guarding a border between Turkey and Syria when we can’t even guard our own borders at home," Trump said. "It's a long ways away. We killed ISIS, we defeated, we did our job, they have to go home."
The money “will also go toward increased accountability, removal of explosive remnants of war, community security for stabilization assistance, documenting human rights abuses and international humanitarian law violations, and support for survivors of gender-based violence and torture,” according to a White House statement sent after the president had finished speaking.
Not many values if people approve our president’s behavior, lies, and foul language. Vote Blue to get corruption out of the White House.
So he lied for minutes on end ?
Christians as in the evangelical cult?
He’s such a puke!
Christian conservative = jumbo shrimp
This behavior reminds me of a “friend” trying to tank a possible friendship because of fear of not being loved, wanted and so on.... 🤔😔
So Pitiful and Unbelievable🥵
M.A.G.A. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!!! AND WE REAL AMERICANS WILL!!!

TheValuesVoter I am a conservative, evangelical Christian. You do NOT speak for me, I hate the values you are supporting, I hate the politicians you are supporting. I question if you are true followers of Jesus Christ because your values are so at odds with Jesus’ commands.
Ignore him, he’ll go nuts
They’re not “Christian conservatives” They’re Christian nationalists.
I’m sure 50% of his “address” was LIES. Ttump lies, lies about lying and lies some more. “Pugnacious”? As in pug?
I thought his speech was thoughtful and convincing
whose values?
They said holding their breath.
What a joke and the so called Christians too!
Did he use the disgraceful language to these “Christians” that he used at other rallies? Did he tell of Kurds being beheaded, defend putting children in cages, separating them from parents? There is no defense or reason. MURDERER!
Fellow crooks, the 'Christian' grab all the money you can Conservatives.
They might be some version of conservation, but the other part of the label is highly in doubt if the moral vision of Jesus even remotely matters
he already has Trump Towers Istanbul, so this was to get Trump Tower Moscow after he's impeached and removed...
If they are listening to this man, they are not Christian.
Why are any Christians interested in having a person like trump speak at an event? He lives a despicable life here on earth.
If this keeps up Christian conservatives will be the downfall of this nation.
Weak pathetic dangerous 🤡
Was he worried about being struck by lightning?
Trump is insane. I don’t understand how people believe anything he says. He even sounds and looks deranged!
Values thats a laugh Hes not worthy of this office
I hope it was an Adults Only mob!
Anyone who sees him speak in person has got to walk away thinking “this dudes is an idiot!” He makes a fool of himself every time.
You misspelled “President goes on unhinged rant,”
Pretty soon, we are going to have to assume that white, evangelical Americans are a cultish, hate group. They have hijacked the Christian title, but abandoned the Christian message.
I wished we never heard of the whole trump family! We do not need their kind of greed
He attempts to defend himself is what this should read. His actions are indefensible.
I wonder if the audience knows that most of the Kurds are Christians.
He is so guilty that impeachment is his tag line every where he speaks!
If his audience is buying the bull he’s pushing, they’re not Christians or conservatives..
45 is going to straighten those Evangelicals out or their reign of religious dogma is over....they become a victim of the swamp cleaning.
realDonaldTrump The AntiChrist gives a sermon, hoping his congregation won’t see Kurdish blood on his hands, after all they overlooked Khashoggi’s murder and dismemberment
What in the world is Trump doing at a Values Voter Summit? If anyone cared about values, he would be blackballed. Values are just not what they used to be.
The woman was stalked coming home from work, she received 2AM phone death/rape threats from Trumpeteers. Finally, in terror, she fled the US and dropped her suit against Donald J. Trump. Is that how you win a lawsuit with your victim?
Donald J. Trump was accused of rape by a 13-year-old girl who was one of Jeffrey Epstein's victim. She sued, A Right-Wing Blue Wall Cop 'ACCIDENTALLY' released her name, address, phone/cell number, 1000's of Trumpeteers threatened to rape/murder her.
Christian seems to not mean what it used to mean. ValuesVoterSummit
Dont call these people christians... they aren't
You can accuse trump of many things. But Christian or conservative is not one of them
and mobster hair-do
Christian conservatives? That’s seems to be a oxymoron these days.
There is nothing conservative about this president.
Trump, is clueless. You’re Fired.
Pugnacious, that’s just his normal personality. This mental midget just seems to keep pushing policy to favor his good bud Vlad.
Holy hell. It was not pugnacious. It was full of lies, divisive, violent, insulting, unhinged, dangerous, extreme... fucking cover things POTUS does for what they are, not what you want them to be in whatever imaginary 'both side are equal' land you think exists.
...honestly wondering if the jihadists weren’t onto something.....this Christian evangelical conservative bunch of wingnutty tools of trump are a true concer for America......
Your are no Christian is you let the atrocities continue
No profession of faith; more whining, paranoia, manipulation, scare tactics/lies ('They don't like you'): Kurds 'are tending to leave'; 'We killed ISIS'; Turkey protects 'religious minorities' (greatest symbol of Christianity there is now a museum where prayer is prohibited).
Fool
Never underestimate Christians being the dumbest people alive.
The blood of these murdered Kurdish Christians is not just on Trump's hands but it's all over the hands of his 'evangelical' supporters who prop him up and encourage him in his odious deeds. These so-called evangelicals are the furthest thing from true Christ followers.
😄 ‘Christian’
That the self-serving, self-indulgent & highly profane Trump is embraced by ChristianValuesVoters is a sign that many of us have lost our way. Seriously: What is the most compelling American narrative today? Who are the heroes of our culture that TheMajority of Americans embrace?
There are many 'victims' here...but realDonaldTrump and his Evangelical base are NOT among them. Stop the self pity and think of the country
When Trump bows his his head with Evangelicals in prayer his mind is on porn
Did he do his lovers scene like Wisconsin? That would be priceless
Trump VS Christians Let's See Who Wins.. Go!
When he bends his head down to pretend to pray with the evangelicals he is thinks my of porn
🤢🤮ImpeachAndRemove ImpeachNow
Trump has ridden out worse scandals than this benign phone call. Starved Democrats are publicly eating a nothing burger and the impeachment process will reveal their insanity, incompetence and impotence for all voters to see.
You should be charged with war crimes! For colluding with Turkey so they could massacre the Kurds! Blood is on your hands!
'I never thought I’d see or hear that word with regard to me,' Trump said of impeachment. The guy who stared at the sun thought he'd never been impeached.
Is this the shit hitting the fan or the fans being hit with shit? WhoWouldJesusImpeach?
Syria move was wrong!
Values, like letting the Kurds fend for themselves vs Turkey after helping us defeat ISIS? Trump is a zero on values, total phony, has every moron fooled and in fear of him. He's Hitler's Ghost for sure. These Christians r a joke.
And what else does an ego maniac with an inferiority complex do? Imagine if this sick puppy actually had to come to terms with his lies and his deceit of the American people. Denial is his only defense
This is not self defense. It is crude, no class, misinformation and deranged jibberish.
'Pugnacious' is the new 'unhinged'
Or, just another unhinged Trump campaign speech...
Trump: I'm extremely pro-Christian! Nobody is more Christian than me! Pay no attention to the fact that I facilitated the anti-Christian pogrom being conducted by Turkey...
Did he do the orgasm imitation too?
The audience was gleeful when he said China should not have been allowed to become successful. They aren’t smart enough to realize that China now has a lot to lose and their children are finally allowed to travel to democracies.
The whole thing was disgusting, starting with the hysterical opening prayer.
This is Trump’s idea of values.
Values which values does he has any
lol..
Bet he was snorting up a storm..
Too bad he had to do it with Barbie’s hands.
🤮
There is no defense. And they have no values.
Translation: realDonaldTrump lies again and grovels and tries to whitewash it
“Values”
He was only kidding
What a joke
I cheated on my wife with a porn star ... but I blame immigrants so vote for me.
Anyone who backs this joke of a President is a freaking moron and does not know the meaning of morality or Christianity.
Trump and values in the same sentence is a classic oxymoron !
'Values Voter' is officially an oxymoron. ImpeachAndRemove ValuesVoterSummit
Impeach corrupt Trump.
just look at all these negative comments..Exactly what id expect from BullShitico
More like voters without values or principals.
M.A.G.A. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
Meanwhile, Kurds in Syria were being slaughtered directly due to his blatant allegiance to foreign leaders.
All I heard was his accurate depiction of the moronic behavior of the Democrats.
Funny the President of the organization stated he's done more than any President he's ever seen by far but the CNN crew on here are as usual not concerned with facts ,apparently don't do research just do as there overlords command,make disparaging idiotic childish remarks!
So these Christians are okay with Trumps nasty bullying and hateful rhetoric? In addition to the 20 plus women that have been sexually harassed by him, oh and the stripper...etc. MakeAmericaTrumpFree
Oxymoronic
Values Voter Summit. Really.
Did he curse as he normally does?
Pulp Fiction / Samuel Jackson / Reads Ezekial 25/17 for Values Voters.
Sounding so confident so guilty interesting 🤡👺👹
trump is really 😜
'Dumb as a stump speech.' Fixed it.
First, takes credit for getting ISIS “100%”; then, minutes later tells us how “unsafe” it is there, “it’s worse!” And “we gotta bring our troops home!”, (or Saudi Arabia who’re paying for the use of our military).
when Trump does his ghetto/thug rhetoric of Biden kissing Obama--he is basically giving the racist rant of this is what will happen to U if U support a brother--ImpeachTrump--he is a racist sociopath
Lol. Values Voter Summit? Lol.
It was great
'Curiously, not a single REAL values voter was in attendance.' Values_Voter
“Full-throated”? Hell, I thought he was doing Vito Corleone!
Ironic name since none of those particular voters have any values.
'full-throated defense' LOL Did Kellyanne Conway write this tweet?
Apparently the Values Voter summit is made up of amoral right-Wing fanatics with no values (at least no values they would admit to when in polite company)
Trump is the man evangelicals want their children to have for a role model? Have they forgotten when he walked onto a church stage wearing golf spikes on what he thought was “pray to Trump day”? Treats 10 commandments like todo list but appoints judges that’ll support Theocracy?
No values.. not even bargain basement
