Trump Bible Reading Marathon

Trump read from 2 Chronicles 7:14, a verse frequently cited by those who believe the United States was founded as a Christian nation.

Critics have labeled the event a 'political stunt' designed to shore up support among evangelical voters following a controversial social media post where the president compared himself to Jesus.

Supporters, however, praised the reading as a necessary return to the country's spiritual foundations during a time of global crisis.

The marathon event also featured other top Republicans and is scheduled to continue through the end of the week.
