To go to a church is not the same thing as to be a pastor of a church.
There is not even one record of Denise Seeman officiating at a funeral, or delivering a sermon, or organizing a Bible study group.
Donald Trump’s presidential campaign also lists Bud Seeman as a “ministry leader”, but as with Denise Seeman, there is no record anywhere of Bud Seeman actually leading any ministry, or any other form of religious organization or event.
It looks like the Trump for President campaign needed names on a list to make the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition seem impressive. Bud Seeman and Denise Seeman were willing to allow their names to be used to inflate the list, and the Trump campaign didn’t bother to look into the details.
The 2024 Trump for President campaign lists Denise Seeman as a “Ministry Leader” in Story County, Iowa…
…but there is not any record anywhere online of anyone named Seeman working as a ministry leader at any church or other religious organization anywhere in Iowa.
The only mention of Denise Seeman is in reference to a funeral, where one of the attendees left the following comment: “We Know Britney by Bud and Denise Seeman and their son Kolt. We go th (sic) the same Church.”
Many people have a difficult time understanding why some Christians are such fervent devotees of Donald Trump. To grasp what motivates Trump Christians, it’s essential to look at what they actually say and do.
In the new book Donald Trump’s Army of God, authors Clifford and Anise Cook provide a case study of Christian Nationalism in the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition.
Instead of speculating, they looked at the evidence available to the public, and found murder, terrorism, a lust for religious war, fraud, corruption, bigotry, demons and Nazi propaganda surfing through the minds of Donald Trump’s Christian supporters in Iowa.
It’s a bizarre realm of faith-based fascism, but we can’t just dismiss it. In 2024, more than ever, we need to take this strange movement seriously.
The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates American law
