A group of conservatives visited the Oval Office on Friday and announced they want to remove a key safeguard for religious freedom in America ― the separation of church and state.
But of course, the main takeaway on social media was how Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during the meeting.
Members of the Religious Liberty Commission, an organization made up almost entirely of conservative Christians, showed up at the White House to suggest that there should be “bridges” between religion and politics rather than “a wall of separation,” as Thomas Jefferson once wrote.
A group of conservatives? More like a group of nut-jobs. What’s the difference between this group an d jihadis? Asking for a friend.
A strong and competent president who cared about this country would never let this topic go this far and would push back as strongly as possible both privately and by using the bully pulpit to make the case of how important it is to our country that this principle be upheld. But Trump is weak and incompetent. And when the topic of something as important as the separation of church and state comes up this administration treats it just like JD Vance treats Watergate, just a 12 hour story in the news cycle. It’s still unbelievable to me we elected this man to be president of the United States.
