I still don't see how Trump is starting another war?



The alphabet news outlets, ABC CBS CNN and the like have been reporting that church services have been stopped and the churches closed. They are not permanently closed but just for now yet people still feel the need to attend services and there is the problem. Of course there are more churches of all faiths across America than there are Mosques but one would think that occasionally there would be a mention on the news that the Mosques are also closed especially in NYC.



I have never been to a mega church but I can understand their appeal. There is strength in numbers especially when so many people come together to be one. We can liken the experience to going to a big concert where Jesus is the headline act.

Church is such a big part of so many peoples lives that they are really at a loss when they are told they cannot attend.

Trump is merely pointing this out but a war ? Come on man..

Trump is claiming that Christian churches are being treated unfairly while Mosques are granted special exemptions from the social distancing requirements. Is there any evidence of this? And what is Trump's motivation in making this claim? Is it an attempt to stir up his base and to turn Christians against Muslims (as if his base of right wing evangelicals needs any encouragement to hate Muslims)? Is this a good thing for the country as a whole?
