Donald Trump Pledges to Protect AM Radio in Rambling Speech to Christian Broadcasters

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

84% : Donald Trump delivered a speech at the National Religious Broadcasters convention Thursday night in Nashville that touched on all his greatest hits.
69% : And it's clear that guys like Cruz, a strong supporter of Trump, will help to work with any potential Trump administration of the future to pass legislation making sure AM survives.
57% : We're going to protect pro-God... context and content," Trump said, appearing to initially misstate the words in his teleprompter in typical fashion.
57% : And, believe it or not, there's a good chance Trump could win the 2024 presidential election this November.
56% : Millions of Americans value listening to Christian broadcasters and you're under siege," Trump continued.
54% : The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, which would require the U.S. Department of Transportation to institute a rule requiring carmakers to put AM radios in their vehicles, was proposed last year but has not yet come up for a vote.
53% : But Trump gets a pass, of course, as a man who delivered many wins for his base, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which had been the law of the land for 50 years.
46% : In fact, a recent poll from Morning Consult has Trump up, with 45% of respondents choosing the likely Republican nominee.
44% : But there was one new element tailor-made for his audience of Christian broadcasters: Trump pledged to save AM radio.
34% : But Trump is notoriously fickle and it'll be interesting to see if he ever brings up the AM issue in any speech of the future.
31% : Curiously, Trump peppered his speech Thursday night with many causal uses of curse words that would likely be a shock to most conservative Christian audiences.
29% : Trump insisted in his speech Thursday that the greatest threat to the United States wasn't any external threat like Russia or China but fellow Americans, whom he called "sick" people.
28% : But after four years of a Trump presidency, and another four years of Trump falsely claiming he won the 2020 election, it's not really news when the former president uses dangerous rhetoric to talk about his political opponents.
