"People were forbidden from giving or receiving religious items at a military hospital where our brave service members were being treated, and when they wanted those religious items," Trump said at the signing ceremony. "These were great, great people. These are great soldiers. They wanted those items. They were precluded from getting them."
These are the words of the con artist who yesterday signed an unconstitutional executive order to allow religious viewpoints to take precedence over laws and to allow discrimination because of one's religious views.
However, as usual, there is more to this heart-rending comment. Namely, it's not true. Since the con artist refused to make any further comments on this lie it was left to those at the Pentagon to figure out what this nonsensical rambling represented. The closest thing they could come up with is an incident in 2011 where Walter Reed Medical Center issued a directive to prevent unauthorized proselytizing from religious groups, including the distribution of their religious items to patients who had not asked for them.
Needless to say, Christian religious groups complained they were being forbidden from annoying and harassing people with their tales of fantasy because of the wording of the directive, so it was rewritten to clarify, 'Patients determine their visitors.'
Thus the question becomes, was the lie deliberate in another pathetic attempt to curry favor from the religious right by fomenting an issue which doesn't exist, or, as we have seen, is the con artist's dementia making itself more visible?
