Here's what he said. Based on this, I think he was just free-styling, trying to give people good news when there wasn't any to give. When it comes to his base, he's a people pleaser, not a straight talker.Yes, I know. These "Spring Breakers" are a bunch of idiots. But that wasn't my question.
Did POTUS promise that churches would be packed on Easter Sunday? Or was that just a wishful/hopeful statement?
Arguably, those are two very different things...
"We're opening up this incredible country. Because we have to do that. I would love to have it open by Easter," Trump said.
"I would love to have that. It's such an important day for other reasons, but I'd love to make it an important day for this. I would love to have the country opened up, and rarin' to go by Easter."
In a second interview with Fox that aired Tuesday afternoon, Trump said he offered the holiday as a deadline because "Easter's a very special day for me."
"Wouldn't it be great to have all the churches full?" Trump asked. "You'll have packed churches all over our country … I think it'll be a beautiful time."
