US EditionPresident Trump Reads Bible Verse From the Oval Office
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump streamed a reading of 2 Chronicles as part of the America Reads marathon, stepping into public view amid strained relations with American Christians.
- Trump's involvement follows his deletion of an AI-generated social media post depicting him as Jesus, which drew criticism from evangelical allies; observers suggest the appearance acts as "damage control."
- Nearly 500 participants, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, joined the marathon beginning Saturday from the Museum of the Bible, with the 2-minute recording streamed via Pure Flix.
- Bunni Pounds, president of Christians Engaged, downplayed links to the AI controversy, noting Trump's participation was scheduled before the deleted post and the passage calls for national repentance.
- For decades, the verse has served as a rallying point for American Christians, cited by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1953 and Ronald Reagan in his 1984 National Day of Prayer proclamation.
