Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, April 18, 2026

President Trump on Friday announced that he will attend a marathon reading of the Bible amid his feud with Pope Leo XIV. The group Christians Engaged listed Trump one of many participants in the "America Reads the Bible" event, which starts Saturday evening and runs for a week. The president said in a statement that he applauds "every citizen participating in the America Reads the Bible initiative. Together, we will 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." Event organizers told The New York Times that Trump recorded his segment of the reading from the Oval Office. The president will read from the Old Testament book of 2 Chronicles.

Will they be reading from over-priced Chinese-made bible with Trump's name on the front?

Will BJ tell Donald to, 'stay in his lane'.

These and other searing questions will be answered in the next Episode of, Pope Trump Rides Again!

...Trump recorded his segment...

Of course he did, he's barely literate. I'm guessing 20 takes and lots of editing.

"Trump recorded his segment"

Ha! What a grift. If they sell a DVD for $100 BillJohnson will buy it.

I suppose there's nothing stopping me from marketing a DVD with Trump's pre-recorded message on it. I think a President's performances are public domain, yes?
