In May of this year, I wrote a blog on my friend Tony Samuel who happens to be a 4th generation Christian from Pakistan. I have known his family for over thirty years. At the time, Tony was a volunteer for Mr. Trump. Most recently he actually joined the campaign team for Trump.
I am also a 4th generation Christian from Pakistan and my family hails from the same village in Pakistan as Tony Samuel’s family. I made a decision to support Mr. Trump utilizing my historical, religious, political and technological knowledge in February of this year (2016) when I secured www.thetrumpenigma.com domain. I have built the website and conducted countless hours of research and placed my best efforts in sharing my perspective from a biblical, historical and business perspective on Mr. Donald J. Trump. I have found him to be a very interesting subject, and knowing some people who have met the man personally and travel with him, I have insight very few have the privilege of attaining. I have a Masters in Ministry Leadership from Indiana Wesleyan University and Bachelors in Business Management from there as well. My education in Leadership makes me uniquely qualified to write on Mr. Trump as we watch history unfold before our eyes.
Tony Samuel is currently serving as Vice-Chairman of the Trump Indiana campaign. What you may not know is that Tony Samuel is a 4th generation Christian from Pakistan like me. He came to the United States of America at the age of 3. The son of Pakistani immigrants, he exemplifies the true spirit of American Patriotism and entrepreneurship. Currently, he runs a Public Affairs Firm along with being a devoted husband and father to two beautiful children he shares with his wife who is a Lawyer. Tony has been involved in Indiana Politics and government for over (24) twenty four years. Recently Tony was interviewed by Maureen Hayden of CNHI.

Tony was kind and invited me to the Team Trump victory rally in May of this year. It was there I met Julie Melvin, reconnected with Robert Croddy, and met Jim Morgan as well as Lydia Abbott. They had formed “Trump’s Indiana Ohio Michigan Grassroots Campaign team.” It began with a few in April of 2016 and has grown to nearly 11,000 plus members. We have attended Trump rallies, gone to parades, I wrote a song called “Sound that Trump” with my producer Del Bock. We shot a video with has garnered well over 1700 plus view on YouTube. I joined their efforts as I continued my efforts on Social Media and Blogging. Thousands have read my blogs regarding our team’s efforts, as well as the blogs on Mr. Trump. Many people have become friends or gotten reacquainted as a result of Mr. Trump running for President, as we all want our country back from the current administration that has decimated America and is headed by the most biblically hostile president in the history of the United States of America.
Trump’s Campaign and our Grassroots team have worked well together. We had a parade in Michigan where Julie Melvin and her husband Ted fixed their bus in Patriotic Trump themes and played the song “Sound that Trump” throughout the parade route. It was truly a team effort. Recently Tony graciously invited us to a Trump Pence rally in Cicero Julie and Ted’s hometown. Julie dressed up as Trump; Robert did a live feed on FB as Lydia sang the National Anthem, and I sang my rendition of 2 Chronicles (My People); and The Lord’s Prayer.
My mother suddenly died on October 11, 2016 a few weeks in the middle of the campaign as I was working on my project of www.thetrumpenigma.com site. Imagine my surprise when Tony Samuel visited the funeral home along with his mom. That was such a kind and compassionate act, as he has been constantly traveling and is so very busy with the campaign. It meant a lot to me as well as my sisters.
At the Trump Pence rally I had the privilege of meeting Steve Carter Met former Indiana State Attorney General. I was so surprised when he told me about Benazir Bhutto (First Woman Prime Minister of Pakistan who was assassinated in 2007 in Rawalpindi Pakistan) that he knew her personally (they were friends and he told me her nickname was Pinky) when he was studying Law at Harvard. He told me she was a joy filled young woman. I told him, that I read in an article that her husband was quite abusive to her but tried to capitalize on her death. Shame. I despise the eastern oppressive cultures. We had an amazing talk, what an amazing Patriot and man of God he is, and oh yes, a Donald J. Trump supporter.
I am an American Patriot who owes a debt to America because Presbyterian American missionaries shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ and were instrumental in delivering my ancestors from spiritual slavery. Thus I feel it’s imperative that I not passively sit by, but help Mr. Trump Make America Great Again. I’m blessed to have a fellow Christian Immigrant who is doing the same thing
