Here’s The Full Speech From Trump’s Faith Luncheon… With Some NATO News Tucked In
He's clearly quite comfortable talking to this audience
Since his NATO meeting ran long, he went straight to the luncheon after wrapping up with NATO leaders. The first 8 minutes are an update from there, before he launches into the topic at hand.
The first minute of the speech is to acknowledge people with profound faith that helped build this country through prayer and hard work. The next minute after that is something you never once heard ‘super-Catholic’ Joe Biden, nor Nancy Pelosi for that matter, mention once in all the years they were in high office.
And even if it were true, when they were in charge, the Democrats of today might see it as a bad news story.
“Churches are starting to fill up again.”
Isn’t it nice to have a President who is more interested in celebrating church attendance than viewing them with suspicion while the DOJ arrests them for protesting abortion, or attending Latin Mass?
He did another of his ‘weave’ moves, where he stepped off topic to bring his audience up to speed on economics at the macro level, including the success of the tariffs at helping to fill the national coffers, then listed many of the other policy reversals made since Biden left that would be met with approval by this crowd, including his policy on saving women’s sports from the activist class.
Then he told the story about the Big Beautiful Bill, how it got named, what had to happen to get it to pass. Some of the parts in it that would be of particular interest to the audience present.
At the 29 minute, he made it clear that he hasn’t forgotten how pastors were getting arrested for having services during COVID, and he says “I’ve ended the radical left war on faith and we’re once again protecting religious freedom like never before in our country. We’re protecting it like never before. We’re getting rid of the Johnson amendment that didn’t let the pastors and ministers and everybody speak about politics. Now you’re able to speak about politics….”
At 33 min… ‘God is once again welcome in the public square.’
You get the idea. He hands off at about the 48 minute mark.
