Freedom of Religion

Infiltrating Trump's embargo
An Imam reached Mar-a-Lago
But his Call to Prayer
Just floated on air
The Trumps worship at Wells Fargo

Yes, believe it! What clever rhymes you found for Mar-a-lago, Rico! Hadn't heard about the president's action on prayer observance. Seems odd for someone like him. Maybe once a day employers could give everyone a minute each day to say their own prayers. Hugs, Carolyn

I agree that opting for a minute of silence would allow people to pray, daydream, collect their thoughts, etc., without offending/inconveniencing others! Aloha! Rico

Another stupid thing he said?? he actually said "compelled" to hear all prayers? Was he never taught how to write or speak with care and clarity?

Trump said good Christians were being denied their right under the Freedom of Religion Act to start meetings, events, etc., with an opening prayer, "so I fixed that!" Racist Donald Trump has a history of saying prayers before he starts meetings with Stormy Daniels, et al, and delights in harking to the prayers of Dr. MLK, Malcolm X, et al, to prove he practices what he preaches! Aloha! Rico

On 16 January 2020, President Donald Trump decreed that all Americans are compelled to hear and respect the prayers of others, so we must assume all federal operations will cease at least 5x per day whilst we honour the Muslim Call to Prayer, and are suspended indefinitely should any evangelist be inspired to pray for the health and welfare of every single weed on the planet! Forget hot food whilst we listen to everyone say Grace! Nothing quite like America's "freedom" of religion!
