U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would create a White House faith office and direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a task force on eradicating what he called anti-Christian bias within the federal government.

Trump delivered remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast at the U.S. Capitol and used his speech to call for “unity”, telling lawmakers his relationship with religion has “changed” after a pair of failed assassination attempts last year.

    Seems a little like state sponsored religion. Now, call me crazy, but I think the Constitution said something on that topic. Not that that matters anymore.

      Don’t worry, we’ll get word of a lawsuit in about a week then eventually it’ll just happen anyway.

        More like it’ll happen anyway and then there will be a lawsuit that pauses the office for a week, and nothing will happen further because of trump judges in higher courts.

        Wonder how long I’ve got to convert before I get sent to a re-education camp

    Never let a bad assassination attempt go to waste. Imagine being sent back in time to stop hitler and giving him a shot in the ear.

    Didn’t he not swear on the bible, have multiple affairs and regularly fuck over (and murder) thy neighbor?

      Details schmetails… At the end of the week he is probably super duper repenting and asks for forgiveness. What, you want a perfect human? Who hasn’t murdered someone on a bad week? Or raped? Or stolen? Or had an affair? Or all of it?

      Hopefully not needed but just to be sure /s
