US President Donald Trump delivered a high-profile speech in Washington, DC, where he declared victory against what he called the “woke agenda.” Speaking at the Museum of the Bible during an address to the White House Religious Liberty Commission, Trump positioned himself as a defender of faith in America and warned against complacency in the fight to preserve religious values.
The President compared the “woke agenda” to a persistent weed, saying: “It’s deep-seated. You think you’ve gotten rid of it, but then it grows back. We must stay vigilant.”
Trump’s Key Promises on Faith and Education
- Protecting prayer in schools: Trump pledged that his administration would issue new Department of Education guidance to safeguard prayer and religious expression in public schools.
- Defending Judeo-Christian values: He argued that America’s strength is tied to its spiritual foundation, adding: “To have a great nation, you must have religion… and that something is God.”
- Countering anti-religious indoctrination: The President claimed students are being influenced by “anti-religious propaganda” and stressed the need for change.
Religious Liberty Commission
Trump created the White House Religious Liberty Commission in May through an executive order. The body includes up to 14 presidential appointees representing diverse sectors, tasked with producing a detailed report on religious diversity and strategies for safeguarding it.
White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said the initiative reflects Trump’s commitment to strengthening one of America’s founding principles: “We are one nation under God.”
Closing Remarks
The event concluded with a prayer led by Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Scott Turner. Trump ended on a hopeful note, saying the United States is “at the very beginning of a golden age” and reaffirmed his vow to protect religious freedom, sovereignty, and American values.
He exited the stage to the hymn Amazing Grace, underlining the religious tone of the gathering.
