"We're dealing as you know with all of the different and not just evangelicals, Christians. We're dealing with lots of different faiths, religions. And I felt for a long time that if a country doesn't have religion, doesn't have faith, doesn't have God, it's gonna be very hard to be a good country. You know, there's no reason to be good. I wanna be good because you wanna prove to God you're good so you go to that next step, right?"
"I want to try and get to Heaven. Last year I came millimeters from death when that bullet pierced through my skin. My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen! the email stated, referring to the assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania last year. But I believe that God saved me for one reason: TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
President Donald Trump linked national goodness to religion and faith, arguing that without God it would be hard for a country to be good. The connection between personal goodness and proving readiness for heaven was presented as central to his view of morality. Trump declined to rule out a pardon for convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and envisioned how parents might receive bad news about a murdered tourist. A presidential prayer initiative tied to the country's 250th anniversary was described as very important. An August fundraising email framed a near-fatal shooting as divine preservation to 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.'
