America’s founding fathers would have hated the Trump campaign’s approach to religion

By Heather Timmons
September 18, 2015

Trump’s latest public-speaking gaffe pitted the Republican presidential hopeful against other rich, wigged men: The thinkers responsible for the US Constitution.

At a rally in New Hampshire on Sept. 17, an audience member declared, “We have a problem in this country, it’s called Muslims.” President Obama, the man said, was Muslim, adding that training camps were growing where “they want to kill us.” He ended: “That’s my question: When can we get rid of them?”

Trump responded. “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things.”

In a statement following the debate, the Trump campaign said:

The media wants to make this issue about Obama. The bigger issue is that Obama is waging a war against Christians in this country. Christians need support in this country. Their religious liberties are at stake.

I don't think they would have liked tRump at all.
