President Trump: We're bringing back religion in our country, and were bringing it back quickly and strongly. Because for America to be a great nation, we must always be One Nation Under God, a phrase they would like to get rid of, the radical-leftโฆwe're not letting them get rid of that.
President Trump: Today, as the American people turn to God and prayer, we continue a tradition older than our independence itself. Nearly two hundred and fifty years ago, on June 12, 1775, the Continental Congress appointed a day of fasting and prayer, so that Americans fighting for their liberty could seek the help of the Almighty. And when you look at that, June 12, 1775; so we have a very, very special day coming up.
President Trump: This important office [White House Faith Office] will work to protect vulnerable women and children, strengthen the American family, promote the dignity of work, and choice in education.
President Trump: In just a few moments, I will also be signing an executive order, creating a Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty.
President Trump: As we bow our heads this beautiful day in the Rose Garden, on the National Day of Prayer, we once again trust our lives, our liberties, and our happiness, to the hands of the Creator who gave them to us, and who loves us.
