Worship music is becoming fairly common at the White House, as President Trump continues to promote his Faith Office – established by presidential order on February 7, 2025 – with various events.
But on Monday there was a first of its kind in the State Dining Room. President Trump hosted for lunch more than 60 CEOs of major businesses that donate their time to faith-based charities, along with several Cabinet members and religious leaders. Represented at the luncheon, according to Fox News, were Hobby Lobby, Quest Events, Aethon Energy, Jockey International, Shoppa's Material Handling, and others.
The President regaled his guests with sometimes colorful stories and highlighted his work promoting religious freedom.
"As President, I've ended the radical Left's war on faith and we're once again protecting religious freedom instead of destroying it, and God is once again welcomed back into our public square," he shared.
"We've restored the fundamental principle that God created two genders, male and female – that was a tough one. And we're defending parents' rights where the parents' rights have been taken away from them in schools."
Trump once again credited God for saving his life from an assassin's bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, one year ago; and he promised to stay the course in his second tenure at the White House.
"Together we're going to continue the fight for Judeo-Christian values of our Founding Fathers," he said. "We'll grow our economy, we'll defend our sovereignty, we'll protect our children … and with the grace of God and blessing of Providence, we will lead our country to heights that it's never seen before."
