"...Above all, we pledge that America will always, as it is written in Psalm 96, 'Tell His glory among the nations'—and that we will never forget God's role in creating, protecting, and sustaining the freest, strongest, most prosperous, and greatest country the world has ever known." -President Donald Trump

During this year of America's 250th birthday, Trump declared that "we pledge to never forget the countless blessings God has bestowed upon our people and our country." The president stated, "From the cradles of civilization in the ancient world to the Christian empires of medieval Europe and the miraculous founding of our own Nation, the entire Western experience has been connected by a golden thread of devotion to God." He especially emphasized the role of faith in America's Revolution and founding.

For instance, Trump noted, the Second Continental Congress declared a day of "humiliation, fasting, and prayer" in order to invoke God‘s blessing on the fight against Great Britain "for freedom, virtue, and posterity." Only weeks after that, "armed with unshakable faith, the Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776, and paved the way for freedom's ultimate victory five years later at Yorktown," Trump celebrated.

Our one nation under God has always acknowledged only one Divine King, as the song "My Country, ‘Tis of Thee" affirms. Trump continued, "In the years since, this proud birthright of faith moved our Nation to expand the promise of independence to the furthest reaches of our continent; preserve our Union in the midst of a bloody Civil War; abolish slavery; win two world wars; defeat the evil forces of atheistic communism; plant our Flag on the Moon; and advance truth, beauty, and goodness in our culture every single day."...
