Trump vows to create ‘Christian Visibility Day’ following Biden’s declaration of ‘Trans Visibility Day’

Former President Trump pledged to create a “Christian Day of Visibility” following President Biden’s declaration of “Transgender Day of Visibility,” which took place on Easter Sunday this year.

“And what was Biden thinking when he declared Easter Sunday a day of trans visibility? Trump asked his supporters at a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Tuesday. “Such complete disrespect to Christians. »

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has promised that November 5 would be “Christian Visibility Day” if he is elected.

“And on November 5, it will be called something else. You know, it’s going to be called Christian Visibility Day,” Trump said to thunderous applause.

Trump’s comments came after President Biden celebrated “Transgender Day of Visibility,” recognized on March 31 and falling this year on Easter Sunday.

Biden faced backlash after his annual day honoring the transgender movement fell on Easter Sunday, one of the most important and holiest days for Christians as they celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, previously called “Trans Day of Visibility” “appalling and insulting.”

Leavitt said the president’s announcement is an example of the Biden administration’s “year-long attack on the Christian faith.”

The White House released a statement saying criticism of the “Transgender Day of Visibility” coinciding with Easter was divisive.

“As a Christian who celebrates Easter with family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and respecting the dignity and freedoms of every American,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, it is no surprise that politicians seek to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political gain or profit.
