On September 26, 2026, President Donald Trump posted a campaign video on Truth Social titled “God Made Trump,” portraying himself as a courageous, faithful leader specially chosen by God to restore America. The video presents Trump as someone who will conclude his workweek by “attending church on Sunday.” [1] What is particularly concerning is that the campaign advertisement effectively puts words in God’s mouth, portraying Him as though He were personally speaking and giving His divine endorsement to the message. Additionally, taxpayers are footing the bill for this advertisement and others currently being aired by the Trump campaign. [2]
Near the end of the “God Made Trump” video, the ad portrays God as declaring that He needs someone who will drill for oil, bring back jobs, farm the land, secure the borders, strengthen the military, and “finish a hard week’s work by attending church on Sunday.” In other words, the advertisement does not only promote Sunday church attendance; it portrays God Himself as specifically calling for it.
Basically, Sunday worship is being associated with the MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and the political vision of restoring America back to God. What has traditionally been a matter of personal religious conviction is now being woven into a broader political narrative that connects Sunday church attendance with patriotism, national restoration, and divine approval.
Nowhere in the entire Bible does God command His people to attend church on Sunday or identify Sunday as His appointed day of rest and worship. The campaign advertisement’s portrayal of God as calling for Sunday church attendance puts words in God’s mouth, effectively attributing to Him a religious expectation that Scripture never establishes. This is a serious misrepresentation of what the Bible actually teaches. Furthermore, the advertisement portrays Sunday as the day that concludes the workweek, rather than identifying it as the first day of the biblical week.
Scripture clearly identifies Saturday, the seventh day—not the first day of the week—as the Sabbath God established, blessed, and sanctified. Genesis 2:2–3 declares that God rested on the seventh day and made it holy. The fourth commandment explicitly states, “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy,” and further declares, “But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God” (Exodus 20:8–11). Nowhere in Scripture does God command Sunday observance, authorize Sunday to replace the seventh-day Sabbath, or associate faithfulness to Him with political loyalty or Sunday church attendance. The biblical command is unmistakable: God sanctified the seventh day, and no passage of Scripture records Him transferring that sacred distinction to Sunday.
When a political campaign video portrays God as declaring that He wants Donald Trump in church on Sunday, it invokes divine authority to shape political identity, influence voters, and present a particular religious vision as part of America’s national restoration. Such messaging will only rally Evangelical Christian and Christian nationalist movements seeking to expand Christianity’s influence over government and public life, including groups advocating stronger legal protections for Sunday as a common day of rest. The deeper concern is that Sunday observance is increasingly becoming intertwined with a national political movement that seeks to unite religious faith, patriotism, and civil authority.
The issue isn’t what day politicians want to go to church. The problem is when political leaders use campaign advertisements to claim divine endorsement for Sunday and do it in the name of God, as if God Himself were invoking such messages. The larger question is this: Will Sunday observance eventually be elevated from a religious practice into a civil requirement, enforced by the power of the state? According to Revelation 13, this scenario is precisely what Bible prophecy warns is coming—a time when religious influence and civil authority will unite to enforce worship through legislation.

Is this part of the surprise that he has in store before the midterm election?
The Christian conservatives will only be emboldened to keep advocating for Sunday with these types of remarks.
