« The quality of our lives is not defined by our material success, but by our spiritual success. I tell you that from somebody that has had material success. » – President Donald Trump
He blasted the terrorism that religious minorities face in some parts of the world, said we « must never, ever » stop asking God for wisdom, and declared that America will flourish « when religious liberty can flourish. » « Freedom of religion is a sacred right, » President Trump said. He promised that his administration « will do everything in its power to defend and protect religious liberty in our land » and around the world … Trump said he will « totally destroy » the Johnson Amendment, which threatens churches with the loss of their tax-exempt statuses for expressing certain political opinions. His speech also touched on the importance of caring for veterans, whose « vigilance has kept our liberty alive. » Trump thanked the American people for their prayers, which « have sustained me and inspired me. » Trump said the « five words that never, ever fail to touch my heart » are « I am praying for you. » « I hear it so often, » he said. « The quality of our lives is not defined by our material success, but by our spiritual success, » he continued. « I tell you that from somebody that has had material success. » Many of the ultra-rich are « very, very miserable and unhappy people, » Trump said, while he’s noticed the less wealthy who have their families are often happiest. « Those to me are the successful people, » he said. Trump rejoiced that « one nation under God » is part of the Pledge of Allegiance. He called the reference to God « a great thing because that’s what we are and that is what we will always be and that is what our people want. » « God will always give us solace and strength and comfort, » he told the audience of American and foreign politicians and dignitaries.
