Donald Trump on Saturday promoted a controversial Baptist pastor’s claim that he has a better grasp on the Bible than Pope Leo XIV just days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with the pontiff to try and cool U.S.-Vatican tensions. (Watch the clip below.)

“The great irony is it looks like President Trump has a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about the role of government than the pope has,” said the evangelical Christian leader in a Fox News clip shared by the president on Truth Social. “And I’m glad the president hasn’t backed down at all.”

Jeffress, a Trump supporter who has referred to evangelicals that don’t back the president as “spineless morons,” began his Fox News appearance by describing the first U.S.-born pontiff as a “good man” that’s “sincere in his faith” before adding an asterisk.

IF Trump understands the bible,, why is he killing innocent school girls in Iran? IF Trump understands the bible, why has he cheated on each of his wives. The Pope is a man of faith, Trump is an Adjudicated Rapist and a Convicted Felon.

There are 750,000+ words in the Books of the Bible. In modern day politics, people can take 30 words out of a 500 word article so that it will fit their narrative - when in reality, the other 470 words say otherwise.

How easy is it for some to do the same with 750,000 words?

The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church - his thoughts, words, actions, deeds and physical implementation of them throughout the Church will be a reflection of the entirety of the Bible - with an emphasis on the Gospels and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Trump is a head of state - so obviously his thoughts, words, actions, deeds and physical implementation will not be the same as the Pope's. His will be based off politics, foreign policy, etc

The media seemed to take both of their statements and make them more than what they were. Both Pope Leo and President Trump are vocal leaders and very open to the media - so it was easy to see how it got out of hand.

As far as Trump quoting a pastor - it's really not that unexpected in modern day politics - it was an easy way to show that he was still supported by some religious leaders.

Good chance Pope Leo wouldn't pay too much mind to it, regardless - so no harm done, imo.
