US President Donald Trump is set to read a Bible passage from the Oval Office as part of the “America Reads The Bible” event, a move that comes amid recent controversy. His participation follows a public feud with Pope Leo over the Iran conflict and backlash over an AI-generated image portraying him as Jesus, which was later deleted. The reading, scheduled via video message, highlights the growing role of religion in official messaging while also drawing political and public attention.
