Trump reads Bible after Pope clash

Trump reads Bible after Pope clash

The 'America Reads the Bible' event comes at a delicate time for Trump's relationship with the Christian community following his controversial AI-generated post depicting himself as Jesus.

During the livestream, some viewers claimed the president appeared to be struggling with the text and was using a teleprompter.

The ongoing feud with the Pope over the Iran war has significantly impacted Trump's approval ratings among some religious demographics.

Supporters, however, praised the reading as a necessary return to the spiritual foundations of the United States.
