Trump Records Crackpot Voice of God From Real Old Testament [View all]

President Donald Trump has recorded himself reading scripture from the Old Testament for a marathon Bible reading billed as “a national reading of God’s law.”

Fresh off a public tirade against the Pope and backlash over an AI-generated image portraying himself as Jesus Christ, the 79-year-old president prepared a two-and-a-half-minute reading calling for repentance from God’s people for an event at the Museum of the Bible.

The White House has called the reading an event to “honor Holy Scripture, renew our faith, usher in a historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and rededicate the United States as one Nation under God.”

Trump’s passage comes from the Old Testament book of II Chronicles, which has become one of the Christian right’s favorite passages.

“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’s passage reads.

Other MAGA personalities taking part in the “America Reads the Bible” event include Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, both of whom are Catholic. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, an evangelical Christian, is also taking part in the Bible-reading event, just days after being widely ridiculed for reading a “prayer” largely taken from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon prayer service. The overwhelming majority of participants in the event are evangelical Christians, The New York Times reported.
