    I 100% agree with him. But he also needs to amend that to include churches that speak IN 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.
