That's cute but wrong.
Dr. Adrian Rogers was born in 1931.
Dr. Rogers stole that quote from Gerald L. K. Smith, Rogers, of course, used Smith's quote in what else, a sermon.
Smith, another religious, far-right nutjob, which Trump and his cult must have studied because between Smith and Trump and his cult, the circle is completed.
Interesting.
Gerald Lyman Kenneth Smith (February 27, 1898 – April 15, 1976) was an American clergyman, politician and Nazi sympathizer, who became a leader of the
Share Our Wealth movement during the
Great Depression and later founded the
Christian Nationalist Crusade. He founded the
America First Party in 1943, for which he was a presidential candidate in 1944.
Smith met Governor
Huey P. Long in 1929 and became his national organizer during the
Great Depression, when Long launched the
Share Our Wealth society.
In stark contrast to Long, who had held his racial views close to his chest, Smith instead chose to take the Share Our Wealth movement in the direction of
white supremacy. As European tensions rose with the ascendancy of the
Nazi Party in
Germany, Smith tried to form an alliance with the non-interventionist
America First Committee, but did not succeed.
In 1943, Smith formed the
America First Party, essentially appropriating the name. He became a member of
William Dudley Pelley's Fascist
Silver Legion of America, which was patterned after
Hitler's
brown shirts.

Pelley was later convicted for violating the
Espionage Act in 1942 and sentenced to 15 years in prison, but he was acquitted in 1944 for violating the
Alien Registration Act.
Having moved to
Michigan, Smith ran for the
United States Senate as a
Republican from there, but lost in the
primary.
In 1947, the
Anti-Defamation League of B'nai Brith cited Smith's Christian Nationalist Crusade along with
Merwin K. Hart's
National Economic Council and the
Ku Klux Klan as "organized anti-Jewish organizations... which had significant influence, resources and membership."
After
World War II, Smith continued to be active as a virulent anti-Semitic demagogue. He lobbied for decades for the release of all Nazi
war criminals convicted at the
Nuremberg Trials.
In 1959, the
Cross and the Flag, the Christian Nationalist Crusade's magazine, claimed that six million
Jews were not killed in
death camps in
Europe during
World War II but instead immigrated to the United States during the war.
Trump and his cult claiming to put "merica first".
Wants traitors to the US released from custody.
Want the US to adopt christianity as the official religion.
Loves the NAZI's.
Loves the KKK.
Love plutocracy.
