Fox News Hosts Say Trump Brought ‘Spirit of Easter’ Back to the White House
Donald Trump‘s supporters over at Fox News are applauding the president for allegedly bringing “the real spirit of Easter” back to the White House.
On the Saturday, April 19, episode of Fox & Friends Weekend, hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy, Charlie Hurt, and Emily Compagno discussed Trump’s acknowledgment of Easter, as well as his decision to have corporations, including Amazon and Google, sponsor the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll.
“Donald Trump has said, ‘I’m not just just not going to do that, we’re actually going to celebrate Holy Week,'” Campos-Duffy said. “And they have, through this faith office that’s run by Pastor Paula White and Jenny Korn, a conservative Spanish woman I’ve known for a long time, both of them putting forward all kinds of events throughout the week. We’re celebrating Holy Week.”

Compagno added, “I have to say, for so many Americans that felt persecuted under the prior administration, or prosecuted under the prior administration for daring to protest abortions, for daring to speak freely, for being put on watchlists on the FBI for worshipping at Latin mass, what a breath of fresh air. And I think the restoration of this, too, when we talk about the overwhelming success that Donald Trump had at the ballot box, 76 million Americans said, ‘Not anymore. We want someone to be the voice for us, actually see us, and represent us.’ It reminds us of the Iowa initial primary poll, the exit polls, where the number one reason people voted for Trump is ‘because he fights for people like me.'”
Campos-Duffy, whose husband is Trump’s transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, will be attending the Easter Egg Roll for the first time.
The cohosts also discussed Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt’s legislation to make Easter a federal holiday. Campos-Duffy threw her support behind this, insisting, “We are a Christian country.”
She added, “The whole purpose of government, really, is so that we can all live our lives with our families. And so if the federal government could make a federal holiday to make it more likely that we can all come together as families. That’s the purpose.”

The 'real spirit of Easter'?? To get the real spirit of Easter, he needs to be visited by three spirits in the middle of the night. 1) He didn't attend any type of celebratory service on Easter morning. 2) He went on an unhinged twitter rant, and 3) in aforementioned rant, he vilified citizens of his own country, and 4) his so-called 'policies' are materially harming average citizens. Oh, and not to mention 5) he has "sold" Easter to corporate America by asking for 'sponsorships' for the Easter Egg Roll.
The man is pathetic. Correction: he is not a man. The person is pathetic.

I found out he's the one who ordered flags at half-mast for Pope Francis' death. Maybe he has a guilt complex?

Oh, and we are NOT a "Christian country." The founding fathers expressly wanted to avoid that!

Not surprisingly, you have jumped to an incorrect conclusion. I am indeed a Christian... but just as I appreciate those of other faiths not tossing their beliefs in my face, I do not toss my beliefs in anyone's face. As it says in Matthew 6.5-6, I try not to be a 'hypocrite' and flaunt my faith in public, better instead to pray in private and not make a show of it.

Let me ask you this: What was your opinion when Trump complained about the flags staying at half-mast during his inauguration because of a 30-day tradition of that because of a former president's death as happened with Jimmy Carter, and because of that, Mike Johnson then said it will be lifted up for his second inauguration but go back down for Carter until those days were up? Tumrp claimed it never happened before but actually when Harry Truman died late in 1972, Nixon let those flags stay at half-staff during his second inauguration without saying anything about it. If Trump were truly honorable, he would have kept his mourh shut during those 30 days after Carter's death and we would have never known how he felt at all during all that. But nooooo, he had to air it out online. So excuse me if I cast doubt on YOUR president's intentions!

The original version of the Pledge did not mention "under God." That was added during the (fake) Red Scare of the early 1950s. In fact, the original version didn't even mention United States of America.
As for In God We Trust being on our currency.... it's worth noting that the phrase WAS NOT included on any coins or bills at the time of the founding of our country, nor during the lifetime of any of the founding fathers. THEY would have rejected it completely, I bet. It was added during or after the civil war, during a vulnerable time in our country.
So, NO, we are STILL not a "Christian nation."

No. The numbered points are actual fact. The first and last sentences are opinion.

Yes, and you're too simple-minded to consider others' views but your own!

At this point, I'll just say let's agree to disagree and I'll leave it at that and hope I never encounter you ever again but since I know that's not possible, I'll try to ignore you from now on!

I'm now thinking you have nothing to criticize The Donald about no matter his claiming he was cheated out of the 2020 election, his telling his base to "fight like Hell" at a rally on Jan. 6 of 2021 before they did just that, and then calling them "patriots" and "hostages" when they were really insurrectionists doing his bidding! To you, he's the Great American Patriot Hero who can do absolutely no wrong! Well, FU!

The only thing we hear from Trump is what he wants us to believe not what is actually happening. Things are not terrific terrific terrific.

That second down vote is mine! And, by the way, never mind if Carter would have approved. Joe Biden made the order for the flags to be at half-mast for the entire 30 days and Trump ruined whatever good will he initially had when he put out a statement complimenting Jimmy and his presidency (which I now suspect he didn't even write) by then going on Truth Social complaining "Democrats are giddy" about those flags still being that way during his inauguration and ended by threatening "We'll see about that!"
