Former Hill writer Jason Easley reports President Donald Trump exposed every bit of respect he still has for the evangelical wing of the Republican Party, which helped put him back in the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica finally got to see what Trump really thinks of his evangelical supporters at the White House on Friday,\u201d reports Easley. \u201cEvangelicals formed their circle around Trump, who was seated at his desk in the Oval Office, and they sang his praises in the most godly of terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s \u201cspiritual adviser,\u201d Paula Reid, happily praised Trump\u2019s commitment to inserting Christianity more deeply into U.S. government, and for doing his best to frame the national argument as a war on Christianity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rejection, the pain, the trauma that was caused simply because of faith. And it is just inconceivable that no one has stood up like you have stood up to fight for faith, which gives us meaning and purpose and hope and an ability to continue to be our better selves,\u201d Reid said. <\/p>\n

There is no telling if Trump agreed with her, however, because Trump was asleep.<\/p>\n

The president nodded off at least twice, said, Easley, even as Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick delivered his own speech.<\/p>\n

\u201cA phrase that’s not in the Constitution, and that phrase is separation of church and state,\u201d Patrick claimed. \u201cThe left has used that one phrase that was one line out of one of hundreds of letters by Thomas Jefferson to batter and hammer people of faith for the last 70 to 80 years. And this report will speak very clearly that we want to be sure Americans understand that they cannot be attacked by that phrase any longer. So, we have 12 recommendations. I’ll read the first six.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick could have had a list of 12,000 recommendations, and Trump would have had no idea,\u201d said Easley, because he was again off to la-la land. Easley then produced a second video of Trump snoozing for Patrick in his trademark slack-faced style.<\/p>\n

MSNOW reporter Stephanie Ruhle reports \u201cEvangelicals have stood with Donald Trump through thick and thin,\u201d with more than 80 percent voting for him in all three of his presidential races. And most have even stuck with him through his fight with the Pope. <\/p>\n

But now, \u201chis hold on the group may be starting to slip, as indicated by a recent poll from Reuters showing his approval rating with evangelicals has fallen to 52 percent, she said. That\u2019s still more than half \u2014 but back in March of 2025, it was 82 percent. In other words, Trump has seen a dramatic collapse among one of his most essential support groups.<\/p>\n

But evangelicals \u201cdon\u2019t care that Trump is an enemy of their faith,\u201d said Easley.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll they care about is a political agenda. Trump understood this and knew that these people would sell out their faith for political power. Now that Trump no longer needs them or their votes, he doesn\u2019t have to pretend anymore and can humiliate them by sleeping as they speak.\u201d<\/p>\n
