There is no separation of Church and State in the US Constitution. The notion of such separation was penned in a letter by Thomas Jefferson.

Donald Trump in his official capacity may NOT WORK FOR CONGRESS in favoring one religion over another. But in his meetings with the people, he, his family members, or friends are free to exercise religious expression.

[[Donald Trump in his official capacity may NOT WORK FOR CONGRESS in favoring one religion over another.]]

That’s not even in the constitution either- there is nothing in the constitution that prevents a president from working with congress to favor one religion over another- what IS i n the constitution however is a banning of the government from forcing people to accept one religion over another under penalty of the law- ie the ‘make no law’ part of the constitution

The reason we left england was because they were forcing people to belong to an ‘official national religion’ under penalty of law if they were not-

Ginsburg took it upon herself to INVENT NEW LAW by declaring that government could not be seen to ‘favor one religion over another’- She was infact in violation of her oath of office by doing so- she was never given power to legislate from the bench, yet that is exactly what she did by inventing new law

"Congress shall make no law..."

Melania is not Congress and she did not make a law respecting Religion.
