Christian Nationalists Rejoice That 'Our Guys' Are Now In Control

Christian Leaders Pray Over Trump

Upon taking office less than a month ago, President Donald Trump immediately unleashed a blitzkrieg attack, filling his administration with far-right ideologues whose primary qualification is personal loyalty to him while setting techbro oligarch Elon Musk loose to wreak havoc upon the federal government.

For this, Trump has received glowing accolades from Christian nationalists who are thrilled that their allies are now in control.

During a recent episode of the "Contra Mundum" podcast, C. Jay Engel gloated that representatives of the online right are now in power.

"This is something that has been festering, but they never had the mechanisms to influence policy until right now," Engel said. "We have our guys are in Washington and I think that the momentum is on our side. This isn't going away."

William Wolfe, a former Trump administration official and radical Christian nationalist, is likewise elated about the fact that Trump is filling his news administration "with people who are our guys."

"Trump 2.0 is shock and awe, pursuing a fantastic conservative and right-wing agenda that Christians absolutely can and should be excited about," Wolfe recently rejoiced. 

Right-wing pastors Brooks Potteiger and Joshua Haymes of Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship, a far-right church located outside of Nashville, TN, that is aligned with Christian nationalist pastor Douglas Wilson and counts Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth as a member, are equally thrilled.

"Winning, winning, winning," said Haymes during a recent podcast. "It's a good time to be a conservative, but [also] a Christian; to see the law of our land starting to comport more and more with the word of God." 

"What we're experiencing right now is the result of many, many faithful Christians praying—actually praying—and then actually getting to work on the ground," Haymes added. "The wind is at our back. It's time to draw swords and go full force into battle."

"Absolutely," agreed Potteiger, saying that Trump's election is an example of what "faithful obedience through really hard political turmoil" can achieve.

"This could be, in 500 years in American history—if God would be very gracious to hold us together, if we wouldn't have the fate of Rome—where they turned back and said, 'This is when Christ did a special work in this nation," Potteiger declared.
