Recently it briefly looked as if Karoline Leavitt had made a small mistake. Donald Trump’s press secretary took to the podium at the White House and said: “Good afternoon everyone – could you hear our ‘Amen’ in there? We just said our prayer out loud as a team.” Some journalists rolled their eyes at how staged the reference to Christian roots seemed. But the Catholic sold the episode with smiling pride – Leavitt usually wears a diamond-encrusted cross around her neck, the value of which experts estimate at up to $50,000. And she is not the only one who is currently making her faith particularly clear in Trump’s environment.
