That's terrible. Separation of Church and State is key, especially as the last thing the States needs is some evangelical fervour injected into its politics
In the sense that nothing can be done about it, yeah, I guess... but I would think it's pretty important to get a sense of what the next asteroid of awful crap hurtling towards us might look like.
Apparently he suggested that anyone in any federal department (specifically state) who doesn't like the direction the White House is taking should get on board or quit. That's a pretty vomit-inducing signal to send.

National Security Adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday said he was “officially putting Iran on notice” following the country’s ballistic missile test and an attack on a Saudi naval vessel by Houthi rebels in Yemen (the Houthis are tenuously aligned with Iran’s government but are distinct from it).
The White House press corps wanted to know what being put “on notice” entailed, and Spicer responded by claiming that Iran’s government took actions against a U.S. naval vessel, which would be an act of war. “I think General Flynn was really clear yesterday that Iran has violated the Joint Resolution, that Iran’s additional hostile actions that it took against our Navy vessel are ones that we are very clear are not going to sit by and take,” he said. “I think that we will have further updates for you on those additional actions.”
A reporter in the press room quietly corrected him, saying “a Saudi vessel,” and Spicer then responded almost inaudibly: “Sorry, thank you, yes a Saudi vessel. Yes, that’s right.” He did not in any way address his false claim that it was an Iranian attack, however.
Pentagon Spokesman Christopher Sherwood confirmed to The Intercept that the attack was in fact conducted against a Saudi warship, and that the Pentagon suspects Houthi rebels. “It was a Saudi ship – it was actually a frigate” said Sherwood. “It was [conducted by] suspected Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen.”
A report released by state officials Wednesday showed more than 161,000 Florida voters who took part in the elections either at the polls or by mail didn't cast a valid vote for president.
The "non-valid votes" include those who wrote in such names as Mickey Mouse or Bernie Sanders and others who simply left the ballot blank. It also includes those who voted for more than one candidate.
All told, the invalid ballots outnumbered Republican Trump's margin of victory over Democrat Clinton of nearly 113,000 votes to clinch Florida's 29 electoral votes.

I wonder if Trump knows that Arnold has more political experience than him.
Sort of OT, but Swarzenegger is also one of the few Republican politicians that backs the climate change issue.
I am not speaking of his character overall and the allegations against him, but as a politician, he showed that he can be pragmatic and not entrenched in party lines. He would most probably be a better president than Trump.

Hahaha damn, I actually wonder what an Arnold Swarzenegger Presidency would be like...
I would imagine that the yearly family photos would grow by a few kids during his administration, except that the kids only show up in the photos several years after they are born.
