That in talking about America, Trump used the word "America" 80 times. This clearly shows that Trump and America are exclusionary.
No one should remind them that the term "America" makes up 25% of their name.

You're usually pretty spot on with stuff but as Murc shows in his post, the ACLU has a very sound record of defending religious rights and freedoms.
What they have stood against is preventing Christian authority from forcing religion on others.
