American Orthodox Archbishop Praises Trump, Compares Him To Constantine The Great

Archbishop Elpidophoros of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America said nice things about President Trump and said he was like 
Constantine the Great.

On Monday, to honor Greek Independence Day, also called the Celebration of the Greek Revolution, Elpidophoros spoke next to the 
president at the White House. The event honors the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821, which paved the way for Greece's 
independence from the Ottoman Empire after almost 400 years of rule.

While standing next to Trump, Elpidophoros gave the president high praise and said that he was like one of the most admired 
leaders in Orthodoxy.

"Through your leadership, you embody the values of our Christian faith and a love for the Gospel. You remind me of the great 
Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, who founded and built the magnificent city of Constantinople - my birthplace, known today as 
Istanbul," he said, drawing cheers at the mention of Constantine.

Trump then praised the work of Greek-Americans in his administration and said that even though the world was having problems, 
things were better because he was in charge. Trump told the Greek-Americans who worked for him how much he appreciated them and 
called them "amazing people."

Trump also praised the Greek-American community, saying, "Perhaps the greatest gift we have inherited from that amazing culture 
is our incredible Greek-American community, which is now more than three million."

Trump also introduced Kimberly Guilfoyle as the next U.S. Ambassador to Greece. He said she was a great person and a great 
example of Greek culture. Then Guilfoyle spoke. She praised the president's leadership and said she was committed to making ties 
with Greece stronger.

Guilfoyle said that it was the greatest honor of her life to serve a country she loves under the direction of the most important 
and powerful president the country has ever had. She also said that she knew how much he loved the people of Greece.

Trump called Greek-American Alex Skarlatos to the stage and talked about his life. He called Skarlatos an American hero.

""Alex Skarlatos, inspired by his grandfather and the Greek resistance, joined the National Guard after high school. Ten years 
after his deployment to Afghanistan, Alex and his friends were on a train from "Amsterdam to Paris when a bloodthirsty radical 
Islamist began shooting innocent people. In an act of tremendous bravery, Alex and his companions stopped him despite the fact 
that they were completely unarmed," Trump said.

At the end of his speech, Trump said that he made time to attend the Greek Independence Day event, even though he was very busy. 
He said that when he found out about the event, he changed his plans to be there, which shows how important the celebration was.

At the end of the event, Trump signed a proclamation making March 25 "Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of 
Greek and American Democracy." This is something that the White House does every year to honor the long history between Greece 
and the US.

"On March 25,1821, fueled by the rallying cry, "Freedom or Death," Greek revolutionaries began a war for independence against the 
Ottoman Empire. The hard-fought victory established a sovereign Greek state and a national homeland for Greece. On the 204th 
anniversary of Greek Independence Day, we honor this heroic fight for freedom, and the enduring democratic ideals that continue 
to inspire the world," Trump wrote in his proclamation.

"America is inextricably tied to both ancient and modern Greece. We are tethered by history and tradition, the struggle for self-
governance, emancipation, and rebirth. Our Founding Fathers drew inspiration from Greek philosophers and statesmen to form the 
tenets of our new Republic, now enshrined in our Constitution. Our national character has been shaped, in part, by the indelible 
impact of Greek influence in the arts and architecture, language and literature, and academia and military tradition. Today, 
across the United States, generations of Greek Americans infuse our neighborhoods and communities with a rich legacy of cultural 
traditions, and a heritage of family, faith, hospitality, and civic responsibility," he added.

"Greece is one of our Nation's oldest friends, strategic partners, and a valued NATO ally. We appreciate the support of Prime 
Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in our economic and diplomatic partnership as we forge opportunities for collaboration in key 
sectors including energy, science, technology, shipping, logistics, and defense. The permanent presence of naval forces in Souda 
Bay and bilateral training events enhance warfighting capabilities and reflect our mutual commitment to joint military 
cooperation as a cornerstone of security and stability in Europe," Trump said.

"On this day, we pause to celebrate Hellenic independence, people of Greek heritage worldwide, and the abiding kinship of 
likeminded nations who cherish democracy, patriotism, prosperity, and peace. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do 
hereby proclaim March 25,2025, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy. I call 
upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities," Trump continued.
