The White House doubles down on Christian Nationalism

As reported by France 24:
Thousands of people gathered Sunday in downtown Washington for a mass prayer festival featuring speeches by top Trump administration officials – an event critics see as an overt display of Christian nationalism undermining the separation of church and state...

The gathering was organized by the White House as part of a program of celebrations for America's 250th anniversary and, in a video message inviting Americans to attend, Hegseth said it was an opportunity to "rededicate this republic to God and country."

Muscular Christian nationalism has enjoyed a prominent platform since Trump's return to power, and evangelicals form a core element of the president's support base...

Attendee Sarah Tyson, holding a "Jesus Saves" sign, said she believes Trump was chosen by God to lead the nation through a new spiritual revival.

  1. Jesus !

    I guess if people believe the things written in a book centuries ago about magic stuff, such as people being brought back from the dead, women being turned into salt statues, and all the other logically impossible feats described within, they will also find believing in Donald Trump's words easy.

    1. Only to people with literally no reading comprehension. The teachings and message of Christ are actually very clear and concise, whether one believes in the fantastical elements are not. And Trump and his cult are as far removed from that core message as it is possible to be.
