Trump set to read Scripture from the Oval Office during 'America Reads the Bible' event starting Sunday

The event’s online schedule shows the 2 Chronicles 7:11–22 reading was reserved as a "special guest" slot during a prime evening hour on Tuesday, alongside figures like former HUD Secretary Ben Carson and members of Congress.

Here is the text of that passage.

The Lord Appears to Solomon

Oh, perfect. I can't think of anything better to be recited by a jumped up piece of crap that thinks he's God.

No way in hell Trump makes it through that totally foreign (to him) bible language without royally flubbing it and perhaps bursting into flame. I'd also bet good money that he'll mention his "Big Beautiful Ballroom" and how maybe people ARE rightfully comparing him to The Messiah Formerly Known as the Prince of Peace (but now known by his new title: The Wizard of War, or The Vizier of Vice, or the Potentate of Pardons, or, the Duke of Deception, or, well, you get the idea).

And I'd KILL to have Trump attempt to read from the Orthodox Jewish Bible. Every seventh word is a pronunciation puzzle:

11 Thus Sh’lomo finished the Beis Hashem, and the Beis HaMelech; and all that came into the lev Sh’lomo to do in the Beis Hashem, and in his own palace, he prosperously effected.

12 And Hashem appeared to Sh’lomo balailah, and said unto him, I have heard thy tefillah, and have chosen this makom for Myself for a Beis Zevach.

13 When I shut up Shomayim that there be no matar, or when I command the locusts to devour HaAretz, or when I send dever among Ami (My People)

14 If Ami, which are called by Shmi, shall humble themselves, and daven, and seek my face, and turn from their derakhim hara’im (wicked ways), then will I hear from Shomayim, and will forgive their chattat, and will heal their land.

I'm sure Trump will think it is him speaking. To summarize the passage God says "shut up and do as I say, or suffer the consequences". Typical "JC" attitude.

Of course, it's from the Old Testament, in all it's blood and vengeance soaked glory. None of this "blessed is the peacemaker" wokie stuff.

And the current Pope.

Pope Leo XIV:

Woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Trump recites his piece Tuesday evening. The "cease fire" ends on Wednesday. I doubt that is a coincidence either. Trump the Living God declares punishment on Iran, for not doing what he ordered.

Religion is manipulation. Or, as George Carlin put it, a con. The Felon I think recognizes this, and wants in on the action.

How it started...
"Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured,
fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of this coercion?
To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites." ~Thomas Jefferson

"The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason." ~Benjamin Franklin

"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries." ~James Madison

"One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests." ~Thomas Paine

How it's going...
Rapist/Pedophile/Convicted Felon/Con Artist/Adulterer Donald Trump will read Scripture from the Oval Office during the 'Criminals Read the Bible' event.
