WATCH: Trump says he will revoke church tax exempt status if leaders 'say something bad about' him
www.pbs.org
President Donald Trump on Thursday falsely claimed he had eliminated a provision of the U.S. tax code that bans 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, including churches, from endorsing or opposing political candidates.

    I 100% agree with him. But he also needs to amend that to include churches that speak for SUPPORT of him too.

    I know it’s an empty threat, because #TACO.

    But damn I wish somehow he does revoke the church tax exemption, it is massively bullshit considering their outside political influence. Not to mention the absurd wealth of the grifting megachurch pastors. Tax those fuckers!

    He’ll just “sell” tax exempt status for 50% of what can be saved when exempt.

    I believe white people who pass as one of “them” should now enter as many racist churches as possible and get anti-Trump messaging on video to facilitate this. Should be easy since everything Trump ever does conflicts with their holy book.
