Default Re: Politics and the Church

At a rally in Montana, the ever kindly Donald Trump took aim at George H. W. Bush's slogan "thousand points of light," which Bush popularized during his presidential campaign. It later became the titular phrase for Bush's volunteerism organization.
"You know all of the rhetoric you see. 'Thousands points of light.' What the hell was that by the way?" Trump said.
"Thousand points of light," he said. "What does that mean? I know one thing. 'Make America Great Again' we understand. Putting America first we understand. Thousand points of light, I never quite got that one. What the hell is that? Has anyone ever figured that one out? It was put out by a Republican, wasn't it?"
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, who worked for President George W. Bush, called the remarks "so uncalled for."
