Trump Reads Bible in Oval Office

Trump Reads Bible in Oval Office

Trump chose to read 2 Chronicles 7:14, a verse frequently cited by Christian nationalists to suggest America has a biblical foundation.

The event, held in the Oval Office, was part of a week-long marathon organized by the Museum of the Bible.

Critics have dismissed the reading as a political stunt aimed at repairing relations with religious voters following a public spat with the Pope.

Supporters, however, praised the president for reminding the nation of its spiritual heritage.
