At the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” Policy Conference at the Washington Hilton on June 26, 2026, President Trump repeated the “one nation under God” framing that has been at the center of a conflict between Republicans and Democrats and attempts by the liberal left to claim that the U.S. was not founded as a Christian country.
In his remarks, Trump framed the political left in explicitly anti-communist and religious terms, telling the audience the Democratic Party “is becoming a communist party,” adding that “these are not social Dumocrats, these are hardcore, God-less communists.” He called this the most serious threat “to our country since its existence,” and argued that communists attack all religions, “but in particular, Christianity,” asserting they target Christianity “more than any other religion.”
Tying this to the nation’s identity, Trump declared the United States will always remain “one nation under God: We’re not changing. And we always have been and we always will be. We’re not going to let him take it away.”
He also referenced the approaching 250th anniversary of American independence, saying that the country’s enemies “would have loved nothing more than to mark America’s 250th anniversary by driving God from our public square once and for all,” and accused the prior administration of having carried out a reign “of persecution and repression against Christians and people of faith like America has never seen before.”
