Trump, at the Faith and Freedom 2026 Coalition and Policy Conference:
"From the very beginning of our country, American greatness has been forged by people of faith, and the very first settlers who set foot upon this new world at Jamestown got off their ship, raised up a cross, and bowed down to the Lord in prayer. It was faith that strengthened the Minutemen who stood up at Lexington Green and Concord Bridge in Philadelphia 250 years ago. Next week — our founders invoked the Creator four times in the Declaration of Independence — four times. I wasn’t mentioned once. I’m very upset. Not once."
Would it be asking too much to have a POTUS who knows basic, grammar school American history, especially Trump, who brags about how much he loves this country?
When will his MAGA cultists finally realize how he's conned them into believing he cares about this country, when the fact is the absolute opposite?
In May of 2025, former ABC newsman, Terry Moran, asked Trump what the Declaration of Independence meant to him, the president replied, "Well, it means exactly what it says, it's a declaration. A declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it's something very special to our country."
Because Trump’s never bothered to read the DoI, he showed his withering stupidity about one of America’s founding documents, which most certainly was not about “ unity, love, and respect!”
Trump’s MAGA cultists have embraced this functioning illiterate for their own desperate reasons, but one of them can’t be because they believe he loves America. Trump shows us all the time that he’s nothing more than a shallow, performative patriot. He relies on "flag-waving" and emotional grandstanding for political gain rather than having a genuine, informed dedication to our nation's history
Trump secures power by manipulating the emotions, prejudices, and ignorance of MAGA with sweeping, exaggerated claims, rather than engaging in thoughtful, history-based deliberation.
IMO, real patriots are informed by their nation's history and political philosophy, not crass displays of fake patriotism, like hugging and kissing the flag.
As we enter the week when we celebrate our 250th birthday, we are faced with the depressing fact that the president heading the celebration neither knows nor cares about the history that birthed this great nation.

It's the best document, the best declaration ever seen. I mean before I declared I wanted to run for president. THATS THE BEST DECLARATION FOR AMERICA!! That one about love, unity and respect is nice, but without my declaration alongside it, it's not as nice. Really, those guys did good work, but the country needed someone like me, with a real declaration to save America. And I'm doing it, day by day. I bet those people when they prayed might have moved God back then to think of me today. I feel it. I do. Always have. That's why I declared and made such an important declaration for our country. So with God, it's like I'M BLESSING AMERICA TOO!. Thank you for your attention to this. Your FAVORITE President.
I will make the assumption that you will not renew your passport for the limited edition.
Abject ignorance sits at the pinnacle of power.
Trump is just declaring he's a white "Christian" nationalist.
His mentor:
"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life." - Adolf Hitler "My New World Order" - Proclamation to the German Nation, Berlin, February 1, 1933
On October 10, 1936 Heinrich Himmler created the Reich Central Office for Combating Homosexuality and Abortion, or Special Office (II S), a sub-department of Executive Department II of the Gestapo.
MAGA = white nationalism.
I understand that Trump imaged passport is issued only out of the Washington D.C. passport agency. Mine’s due for renewal next year. Thankfully, I won’t have his mugshot on it saying, “ Welcome. But be good.”
Does Trump think American passports are issued to foreigners? Does he not know we Americans use our passports when we LEAVE the country? Where are his aides and advisors? Are they dunderheads like him?
The White Nationalists in Texas are now making Texas public school children read the. Christian Bible in public, tax-payer schools. A violation of the Constitution, because the government is favoring one religion over another.
They are forcing one particular religion on children of other religions and children who are brought up in no religion. This is unlawful.
Trump is the pinnacle of abject ignorance. His MAGA cultists worship him.
Apparently, Texas Christians do such a poor job of teaching their Christianity in their homes and churches that the government has to do it for them. Isn’t that what conservatives call the hated “ GrannyState?” Having the government take o er the job of the parents?
AI:
“In the United States, the legal precedent on this specific issue is well-established:The Supreme Court Rule: In the landmark 1963 case Abington School District v. Schempp, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that school-sponsored Bible reading in public schools is unconstitutional, as it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
Current Status: While schools can teach about the Bible objectively as literature or history, the government cannot legally provide or mandate Bible readings as a religious practice in public schools.”
The truly wonderful thing about liberation is that nobody, not even Our Moron President or the Christian Nationalists can take anyone's agency fom them. Unless they themselves allow it.
In other words the relative can be rejected in favor of the absolute. As long ones inner strength is strong enough to overcomes the pressure from the external.
I'm kinda stuck Skud... mine comes up for renewal in 2027. So I guess I'm gonna have the new edition. But once he's gone, I'll reapply for a new one.
Dave, I believe you have to request the limited edition passport which it doesn't look like you will do so no need to worry.
By the time 2030 rolls around there will be a saner hopefully fiscally conservative administration and the Texas bible study will not happen, certain names will be torn off buildings and life will be sane again.
Since jeffers and shumer have stated the dems only goal is to get rid of trump what are they going to do when he is gone. Trump is the best thing to happen for the dems in decades.
Correction: The phrase "Welcome, but be good" does not actually appear written on the physical pages of the passport.
President Donald Trump referenced the slogan in a post on Truth Social introducing the new "patriot passports"—a limited-edition document designed for the country's 250th anniversary featuring his portrait.
While Trump stated the U.S.A.'s new passport "says, 'Welcome, but be good!'," images of the pages he shared do not feature those printed words. The text prompted public debate, as "welcome" messages are typically meant for foreign visitors on visas rather than U.S. citizens carrying passports for international travel.
Skud... independent of party, I don't think there are any ppl fiscally sane that will be running for office any time soon.
Sadly.
LOL!!!
trump is NOT the best thing that has happened to ANYBODY.
Other than perhaps those who wish us ill. And, he's given them every reason to be very pleased. As the USA empire is in definite decline. Only accelerated by his policies and actions on both the domestic and world stages.
trump and his fascist party of gutless wonders may very well become the ultimate big loser(s).
The capitalist class and billionaire oligarchs must be brought to heel and democratic socialism must become the path of the nation if it hopes to ever live up to its promise and full potential for the people it is supposed to represent and support.
Capitalism has become an increasingly destructive force in this democratic republic as the billionaire class and oligarchs continue to grow their obscene wealth off the backs of the people who actually do the work making the economy function and drive wealth accumulation to the capital class and its billionaires.
The income inequality is at the worst levels since the days if the Robber Barons of yesteryear.
It's time for the democratic party to become the Democratic Socialist Party if America, hold their heads high and be damn proud to break with the current order.
Les, How many decades has the decline and the end of the US been predicted. If the dems win they will tax and spend us into oblivion and if the pugs win they will push granny off the cliff.
We have figured out that printing money is the way to go and granny is still wheel chair bound. Robber barons have existed in every country in the world and the socialist party only works for small healthy nations so your wishes will probably net be met. That's the reason small Scandinavian countries can show socialism successful.
Sorry skud, you're entitled to your delusional rhetoric but it falls on dear ears.
Frankly skud I'm disgusted with democrats as well as rrepublicans. Just a bit less.
I won't go into detail because there is not enough time in my day to do so.
Therefore, suffice to say democratic timidity in proudly supporting and aggressively pursuing democratic socialist ideals and visions is my issue with the timid democratic party.
As for the budget busting, national debt increasing, and war mongering republican party it can go to hell for all I care. Just don't take the rest of us with you.
