As he marked the National Day of Prayer
Trump did a little bit to damage the separation of church and state, but not as much as his godbothering fans wanted. Sad!
President Donald Trump is seeking to further weaken enforcement of an IRS rule barring churches and tax-exempt groups from endorsing political candidates, though his executive order on religious freedom is disappointing some of his supporters.
As he marked the National Day of Prayer at the White House Thursday, Trump signed the order asking the IRS to use “maximum enforcement discretion” over the rarely enforced regulation, known as Johnson Amendment.
Ah no, the godbotherers wouldn’t like that. They want him to tear up the Johnson Amendment and then set fire to it.
Trump spoke to religious leaders at the Rose Garden, where he also announced he’ll visit Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Vatican — including a meeting with Pope Francis — on his first foreign trip.
The capitals of theocracy; nicely played.
Well, Trump has always been a deeply religious person.
Uh, don’t they already do that? And shouldn’t that be evident from the phrase “rarely enforced regulation”?
The only thing he’s prayed for has something to do with underage supermodels. Yes, Christian conservatives you, more than anyone else are responsible for this unspiritual orange chaos monkey.
I look forward to the video of Air Force One landing in the Vatican.
Okay, I’ve been working too hard. I read that as “landing ON the Vatican” and was quite amused by the image.
