In an interview with Daily Caller, Metaxas explains on why Donald Trump is the best choice as the next U.S. president. In the interview made during the Republican National Convention held in Cleveland, he said that it's better to vote for that "person who will create the least damage [to the country]."

"You can even hate Trump, but I'm saying you better be sure that you understand what a Hillary Clinton presidency brings," Metaxas stated.

He fears that if Hillary Clinton wins, she will nominate Supreme Court justices who will be partial to her stand, especially on illegal immigrants.

He said that the Democratic National Committee has been adamant in legalizing illegal immigrants. "That means we are demographically never going to be able to elect somebody who is a Constitutionalist again. We are just not going to have the numbers. It is that desperate," he added.

According to Washington Post, during Bill Clinton's term, both Republicans and Democrats have generally agreed that mass immigration was a threat to U.S. interests. This, however, changed under the Bush administration, which called for more leniency for illegal immigrants, creating split among Grand Old Party members. The accepting stance on illegal immigrants intensified under President Barack Obama, who wanted to spare millions of illegal immigrants from deportation by granting them work permits.

"When you are in a war mentality, you say, 'Who is going to stand up where we need to stand up?' I do believe [Trump] cares about the country. I do believe he will appoint judges that are constitutionalists. When people say, 'Oh, you have know idea what he is going to do.' But, you know what Hillary Clinton is going to do," Metaxas said.

Eric Metaxas is New York Times #1 bestselling author of "Bonhoeffer," "Miracles," "Seven Women," "Seven Men," and "Amazing Grace." He recently launched a new book called "If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty."
