President Donald Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Washington Hilton, sharing his efforts to protect Christian freedoms and implement faith in the public sector.
“On that momentous day in 1776, history changed forever when our Founders proclaimed the immortal truths that echoed around the world and down through time,” Trump said. “They declared that all of us are made Free and Equal by the hand of our Creator…that we are endowed with our sacred rights to life, liberty—not by government, but by God Almighty Himself.”
Trump declared that in order to “be a great nation,” the nation must have religion. “You have to have Faith. You have to have God,” he said. “Thankfully, as we gather today, there are many signs that religion is coming back… it’s coming back so strong.”
“I’ve done more for religion than any other president,” Trump said, explaining, “That’s not saying much, because not too many presidents have done too much for religion.”
“I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don’t,” he noted. “I know we have some here today, and I don’t know why they’re here, because they certainly don’t give us their vote.”
“Under the Trump administration, we’re standing strongly behind Americans of faith—stopping the attacks on our values, our traditions, defending religious liberty,” the president added. “I believe like no president has ever done before.”
A White House page honors President Trump’s dedication to religious freedom, stating that he “has made history again and again for the faith community. Since the founding of our nation, nobody has fought harder or gained more for believers, reversing the catastrophic policies of the previous administration while building on the winning legacy of his first term.”
