It is becoming glaring each day
that in every generation, the Almighty God raises people to raise his banner to
the nations. Currently in the United States President Donald Trump seem to be
the one God has raised to make the make its input in governance again.
President Trump on Thursday
declared his resolve to reverse a law which prohibits churches which have
tax-exempt from making political speech. The gesture has been highly welcomed
by the Christian community in the US.
According to President Trump his
regime is poised to abrogate in its totality the Johnson Amendment which placed
a prohibition on churches from taking part in political activity.
So far, under existing law if any
tax-exempt church endorse political candidate or take part in political
activity, they will lose their tax-exempt status. Though repealing the law will
require the approval of the by Congress.
The president used the
interaction with religious leaders to also defend his immigration policy, and
pushed aside apprehension about his tough phone conversations with foreign
leaders, and also made mockery of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Speaking further, President Trump
stated emphatically that “I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson
Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without
fear of retribution.”
Also, in address to the National
Prayer Breakfast, he encouraged the people not to bother about the report going
round about the tempestuous phone chat with leaders of Australia and Mexico,
that a hard method was long overdue.
He said “when you hear about the
tough phone calls, don’t worry,”
“We’re being taken advantage of
by countries around the world. It’s time for us to be a little tough. It’s not
going to happen anymore.”
