Trump told faith leaders that he believes that “we’re going through a lot of problems in our country. If you take a look at the anger, the problems that we have, and a lot of it is that it’s less based on religion now than it was 25 years ago and 50 years ago.” Trump mentioned that people used to say that our nation was “Christian and really religious,” but now the country is “heading in the wrong direction.”

“I think as that goes down,” he added, “I think that our country goes down. I really do. I think this is a country that needs religion. It’s like the glue that holds it together, and we don’t have that.”

Addressing the faith leaders in the room, Trump said, “I’m not sure you even realize it, but you are the most important people,” alleging that the Biden administration is “trying to hurt [and] stymie you…they are people that are not nice people.”

“They have a very bad agenda, and we have to stop it, and we have to win this election,” Trump said. “I think it’s going to be the most important election in the history of our country.”
