'Let's hear him recite them': Trump mocked for supporting display of 10 Commandments in schools after controversial Louisiana mandate
WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump stated on Saturday, June 22, that he is in favor of the Ten Commandments being displayed at every school. The former president made the endorsement shortly after Louisiana passed a controversial law mandating the display in classrooms.
At a Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington, DC, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee asked more than a thousand mostly evangelical Christians, "Has anyone read the 'Thou shalt not steal?'"
“I mean, has anybody read this incredible stuff? It’s just incredible. They don’t want it to go up. It’s a crazy world,” Trump said to thunderous applause.
Donald Trump supports Ten Commandments in US school
A recent law enacted in Louisiana mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom, extending to colleges, the New York Post.
The American Civil Liberties Union promptly announced intentions to challenge the law, citing a breach of the separation between church and state. Nevertheless, the following day, Trump strongly supported the legislation on Truth Social.
“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG???” he asked.
“THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY,” Trump added.
To mobilize the religious right to vote Republican in November, Trump stated at the event that he believes Christianity is under threat in the US.
He implied that this is partly because of the inadequate border policies implemented by Democrats.
“The reason the radical left will always come after religious believers is simple,” he said.
“Because they know that our allegiance is not to them, our allegiance is not to them, our allegiance is to our country and our allegiance is to our creator,” Trump added.
