Former U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the evangelical Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington on Saturday, presenting himself as a champion of religious freedom and a martyr for Americans of faith while denouncing what he described as a mass persecution of Christians.
Trump also portrayed himself as having "wounds all over,” alluding to his legal troubles while suggesting that he was being targeted for his political beliefs.
"In the end, they’re not after me, they’re after you,” Trump said. "I just happen to be, very proudly, standing in their way.”
