He credited First Lady Melania Trump for organizing the event and emphasized a broader revival underway. “We’re bringing a lot of things back,” he said, “but we’re bringing religion back.” The president closed with a cheerful “Happy Easter” and promised, “We’re going to have a great four years.” He also announced flags would fly at half-mast for Pope Francis, calling him “a good man” who “loved the world.”
