President Donald Trump is leaning into his latent Christianity just days after depicting himself as Jesus Christ and hurling insults at the pope.
The 79-year-old participated in an “America Reads The Bible” event on Tuesday, a week-long scripture reading arranged to coincide with America’s 250th anniversary.
In a pre-recorded video, Trump read from the Old Testament, specifically 2 Chronicles 7:11-22. The passage is often cited by Christian nationalists, the Associated Press notes, who invoke it when seeking to bolster their argument that the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation and should remain one.
