Former President Donald Trump was reportedly seen taking a 'ceremoniously slow' motorcade tour around Washington, D.C. on Easter Sunday, including a stop at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. This was in lieu of attending any of the three Easter services held that morning at St. John's Episcopal Church, which has been attended by every president since 1816.
Why it matters
Trump's decision to skip the traditional Easter service at St. John's Church, often called the 'Church of the Presidents,' is seen as a break from presidential norms and a potential political statement. The report also notes Trump's threats against Iran and praise for 'Allah' on social media that same day, further highlighting his unorthodox approach to the holiday.
The details
According to the report, Trump spent Easter Sunday touring various locations in Washington, D.C. by presidential motorcade, including a stop at his own golf club in Sterling, Virginia. During his travels, he also issued a major threat against Iran in a profanity-laced social media post, while also praising 'Allah,' the Arabic word for God.
