President Donald Trump to Read Scripture During America Reads the Bible
- On Tuesday, April 21, President Donald Trump will broadcast a pre-recorded reading of 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 from the Oval Office during the 6 p.m. ET hour as part of 'America Reads the Bible,' a weeklong livestream featuring nearly 500 participants marking the nation's 250th anniversary.
- Organizers specifically reserved the passage for Trump to foster national healing and renewal, according to Bunni Pounds, founder of Christians Engaged, whose organization runs the weeklong event at the Museum of the Bible through April 25.
- Trump's reading follows a week of public friction with Pope Leo XIV over the Iran war and backlash over a deleted AI-generated image he claimed depicted him as a 'doctor' making people better.
- Cabinet officials including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles will participate, as the administration continues integrating faith into official business to shore up evangelical Christian support.
- Commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary, the White House frames the weeklong reading as symbolic national renewal, though critics debate whether aligning government platforms with public religious ritual strains church-state norms.
