Trump told lawmakers in remarks at the Capitol for the National Prayer Breakfast this morning that there needs to be a focus on bringing religion back nationwide.
“We have to bring religion back. We have to bring it back much stronger,” Trump said inside Statuary Hall. “It’s one of the biggest problems that we’ve had over the last fairly long period of time. We have to bring it back.”
He also announced that he has signed an executive order to create a new national park full of statues of “the greatest Americans who ever lived.”
“We’re going to be honoring our heroes, honoring the greatest people. It would be called the National Garden of American heroes,” said Trump, who began scanning the audience of members of Congress, suggesting that some of them could be recognized.
Trump spoke about the attempted assassination against him last July in Butler, Pennsylvania, and suggested he was very close to actually being killed.
“My sons are shooters. They’re really good shooters, Don and Eric,” he said, “And they said the chances of missing from that range with that gun are, Don equated it to a one-foot putt.”
The president also spoke about the recent plane crash in the Potomac River, alluding to obsolete equipment and understaffing as potential contributing causes.
“We should have had better equipment. We don’t. We have obsolete equipment. They were understaffed for whatever reason,” he said. “I guess the helicopter was high, and we’ll find out exactly what happened, but … the odds of that happening are extremely small.”
