Donald Trump has said that he will probably be making a White House task force charged with destroying anti-Christian bias inside the federal government.
Speaking on the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump said, “The mission of this task force will probably be to instantly hold all types of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination inside the federal government, including on the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI and other agencies.”
During his inauguration last month, Trump, referring to his extremely close shave with an assassin’s bullet, said that he was “saved by God to make America great again”, a sentiment echoed by lots of his Christian supporters.
The latest task force will probably be headed by Pam Bondi, his attorney general, and can work to “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and … and to maneuver heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and non secular believers nationwide”.
Trump also spoke of the work of Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in removing ‘woke’ policies, positions and funding inside the federal government.
DOGE has claimed to have found billions in savings within the US government through such measures as cancelling leases in underused buildings and meting out with contractors.
Of more political interest though are the savings made by casting off ‘woke’ DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) projects and revelations about spending within the United States Agency for International Development .
Just 11 days into Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed that DEI-related contract cancellations had saved over $1.2 billion. DOGE also cited USAID funding DEI scholarships in Burma (Myanmar) to the tune of $45 million, over half a billion dollars for ESG (environmental, social and governance) investments in Africa and $1.2 billion in “awards to undisclosed recipients”.
The Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Brian Mast, said that half a billion dollars was used to advertise atheism in Nepal and hundreds of thousands more were used to advertise LGBT ideology in countries all around the world.
