"The chains are already tightening around all of us if you think about it. Ultimately, the radical left is coming after all of us, because they know that our allegiance is not to them." Trump said. "Our allegiance is to our country and our allegiance is to our creator. They don't want to hear that."
Trump also said he believes that those who have targeted religion in recent years aim "to tear down crosses where they can, and cover them up with social justice flags."
"But no one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration, I swear to you," he said.
Trump also told those in attendance that he believes the "greatest threat" to Americans is "from within."
"It's the people from within our country that are more dangerous than the people outside," he said. "We can handle China, we can handle Russia, we can handle all of them if you've got a smart leader, but the inside people are very dangerous, they're very sick people in my opinion."

Some religious leaders were initially hesitant to get behind Trump when he first ran for president in 2016, but now many of them are among his mostly solidly loyal "Make America Great Again" base.
