At a largely Christian event that brought hymns and prayer to the heart of the Capitol building, President Donald Trump bemoaned America’s trend away from faith, calling it “one of the biggest problems” and saying, “we have to bring religion back. We have to bring it back much stronger.”
The president spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast, held in Statuary Hall on Thursday morning.
“There could be nothing more beautiful than for us to gather in this majestic place — it is majestic — and reaffirm that America is and will always be one nation under God,” the president said.
