President Trump quipped about “forgetting” the separation of church and state and declared “we’re bringing religion back to our country” during a National Day of Prayer event on Thursday.
“They said separation of church and state, they told me. I said, let’s forget about that for one time. We said, really? Separation? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’m not sure,” Trump remarked during the Rose Garden ceremony.
“But whether there’s separation or not, you guys are in the White House where you should be, and you’re representing our country,” Trump told faith leaders at the event, adding, “We’re bringing religion back to our country.”
