Trump to read Bible verse from Oval Office after feud with Pope and deleted AI image

President Donald Trump will participate in a public Bible reading this week as the administration continues to integrate religion, particularly Christianity, into official business.

“On April 21, President Trump is scheduled to read Scripture via video message from the Oval Office during the 6 p.m. EST hour,” a press release from organizers reads. The event is called “America Reads The Bible.”

Trump’s participation in the weeklong reading is particularly notable given his recent feud with Pope Leo over the Iran conflict and the backlash he received earlier this week for posting – and then deleting – an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus.

In the video message, Trump, according to organizers, will read a passage from 2 Chronicles 7:11-22, which includes the frequently quoted verse 14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Trump is at the stage where he doesn’t just need to be adored, now he needs to be worshiped. Caligula territory

Any objective observer would read it as a warning for Trump, MAGA and capitalism to repent. But, the moral Dunning Kruger sufferers that they are, they'll see it as saying "carry on doing what you're doing, God loves it, because you're persecuting foreigners and LGBT and oppressing women".

If my people [MAGA], which are called by my name [Trumpers], shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face [It's on many government buildings!], and turn from their wicked ways [I'm talking to you Tucker]; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land [and only I can make America great again!].”
