People groaned. Out loud.
Because even at an event like that, Trump couldn’t help but demean and insult millions of faithful Americans.
He spent 77 minutes turning faith into a weapon, claiming he’s “done more for religion than any other president” and accusing Democrats of being anti-Christian.
Trump apparently doesn’t realize (or care) that 161 of the 214 Democrats in the House identify as Christian. And beyond that, no matter what religion Democrats do or don’t identify with, it doesn’t make them anti-Christian.
Trump is stepping on these people of faith who believe the Common Good means caring for the vulnerable, not demonizing immigrants.
Who believe following Jesus looks like feeding the hungry and welcoming the stranger, not holding rallies where you mock your enemies and pit Americans against each other.
Trump also announced he’s planning a May 17 event at the National Mall to “rededicate America as one nation under God.”
This is Christian Nationalism — it’s certainly not patriotism. It’s the belief that only one version of faith counts, and that version just happens to align perfectly with MAGA politics.
At Vote Common Good, we are 100% committed to proving Trump 100% wrong in the next election. This is not what America stands for.
But countering Christian Nationalism and organizing faith voters nationwide requires resources. We are laser-focused on the most important districts that will determine control of Congress. We need to reach persuadable voters. We need to show up everywhere Trump and his allies are trying to claim ownership of faith.
