United States President Donald Trump has lamented that Christianity is treated differently than those of other faiths are in the U.S.
Trump made the comments during the Coronavirus Task Force briefing, Saturday, criticizing political leaders for not handling all religions equally.
Faith Is More Powerful Than Government And Nothing Is More Powerful Than God – Trump
“I am somebody that believes in faith,” Trump said. “And it matters not what your faith is, but our politicians seem to treat different faiths very differently. … I don’t know what happened with our country, but the Christian faith is treated much differently than it was. And I think it’s treated very unfairly.”

Trump’s remarks came after he was asked about his retweet of a post on Twitter from author Paul Sperry, who wrote, “Let’s see if authorities enforce the social-distancing orders for mosques during Ramadan (April 23-May 23) like they did churches during Easter.”

“I just spoke with leaders and people that love mosques; they love mosques,” he said, referencing a phone call he had with imams, rabbis and ministers. “But I would say that there could be a difference. And we’ll have to see what will happen, because I’ve seen a great disparity in this country. I’ve seen a great disparity.”
He then referenced “a very strong anti-Israel bent in Congress with Democrats” that would have been “unthinkable 7 or 8 or 10 years ago.”
“And now they’re into a whole different thing between Omar and AOC,” he said, referencing Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “… I mean, the things that they say about Israel are so bad” Christian Headlines reports.

Politicians, he said, “go after Christian churches, but they don’t tend to go after mosques. And I don’t want them to go after mosques, but I do want to see … what their bent is.”
Trump was asked if he believed imams “wouldn’t follow social distancing.”
“No, I don’t think that at all,” he said.
