This would punch holes in the ‘Trump is a selfish bastard’ narrative, so don’t expect Megyn and CNN to report it!
In a surprising revelation, Abedini said the Republican presidential nominee helped provide for the needs of his family in Boise, Idaho while he was locked up in an Iranian prison for his faith. The pastor said Trump gave his family $10,000 while he was imprisoned for three and a half years.
“I am finally free in a free country. Last year on the same day I was sick and in chains for Christ, and now I can vote to choose my next president,” Abedini said in a post on his Facebook page on Sunday.
“And most amazingly, I can vote for someone that I know fought for me and called my name so many times. He met my family and gave them a $10,000 gift. I think his ideas are more biblical than the other candidates,” he added.

Did any LIBERAL politicians or celebrities step up and do anything like this? What about that ‘super-amazing’ ‘really helpful’ good for helping ‘poor suffering elitists just leaving the White House’ Clinton Foundation we keep hearing about? Did they cough up any cash to help THIS cause?
Do you even have to ask?
In contrast, Abedini said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton did not do or say anything to help secure his release from Iranian prison. The pastor said Clinton never spoke his name or met his family.
“As a woman who says she stands for women’s rights when she was foreign minister, she never contacted my mom, wife, sister or my daughter. She never did anything to help when I was in prison as an American pastor who was detained in Iran as a hostage,” he wrote.
Abedini strongly defended Trump from attacks on his character, saying God used flawed men to lead nations in the Old Testament, likening him to King Cyrus of Persia, a figure mentioned more than 30 times in the Bible. According to Bible experts, Cyrus was a great pagan king who ruled Persia from 539 to 530 B.C. Under his rule, Jews were first allowed to return to Israel after 70 years of captivity.
He even had something to say to people who criticize Trump for his morality.
The pastor pointed out that those who are condemning Trump for his past are forgetting that America is also a nation “saved by grace.”
“When we hear that this candidate or that candidate is not a strong Christian or has a past that disqualifies him to be the President of the United States, my answer is that we are a nation, a people who are also sinners, saved by grace,” he wrote.
Powerful stuff.
Flashback: Obama was asked a question about the hostages a year ago. In light of what have since learned, do you find his answer… ‘interesting’? Perhaps even self-incriminating?

Trump offered care and financial support for the family of an American political prisoner.
Obama resented even being ASKED QUESTIONS about the status of four American prisoners held by Iran. And then he quite likely broke US law in paying a ransom in unmarked bills to secure their release.
This smashes down the ‘uncaring rich Republican’ vs ‘compassionate liberal’ narrative, doesn’t it?
Republicans use their money to give to charity.
Liberals use their charity to make money.
