President #DonaldTrump is trending globally after a series of unusually candid remarks at the #NationalPrayerBreakfast on February 5, 2026. During a wide-ranging 80-minute speech, the 79-year-old President recalled the moment in 2016 when Pastor #RobertJeffress suggested on television that Trump "may not have ever read the Bible." After retelling the story to the room of faith leaders, Trump laughed and told the crowd, "I didn't want to admit anything," a comment that many social media users are taking as an indirect hint regarding his personal reading habits.

This #BreakingNews report analyzes the President’s "Heaven Bound" musings, where he admitted, "I just don't think I qualify" for heaven, and his response to the Beatitudes. Quoting Matthew 5:8 ("Blessed are the pure in heart"), Trump added that he wasn't sure the verse applied to him, stating, "I'm not so sure I try." We explore the #WhiteHouse announcement of the #Rededicate250 Jubilee of Prayer, the reaction from the #Evangelical community, and the #Inquisitr breakdown of how these remarks might impact the #2026Midterms. Is this a new era of "Authentic Trump," or has he finally admitted the truth behind the #TwoCorinthians gaffe?

00:00President Donald Trump sparked fresh debate following remarks delivered at the annual
00:03National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. During his speech, Trump referenced an endorsement
00:09he received nearly a decade ago from Texas pastor and radio host Robert Jeffress while first running
00:13for president. Recalling the moment, Trump quoted Jeffress as saying that while Trump
00:18may not be as good with the Bible as some and may not have ever read the Bible,
00:22he would still be a strong advocate for their shared values. Trump then told the audience he
00:27didn't want to admit anything, but described the comment as very interesting, a remark many
00:32interpreted as an acknowledgment that the pastor's statement may have been accurate.
00:37The comments came during an appearance before thousands of religious leaders, lawmakers,
00:41and invited guests at the long-running bipartisan event. The prayer breakfast has historically
00:46served as a platform for presidents to discuss faith, unity, and public service. Trump's
00:52relationship with evangelical Christian voters has been a defining feature of his political career.
00:57Exit polls in recent elections have shown strong support for him among white evangelical voters,
01:02a voting bloc that has remained largely loyal across multiple campaigns. His remarks at the
01:07event highlighted that continued alignment, even as questions about his personal religious
01:11practices occasionally resurface in public debate. During the same speech, Trump also drew audible
01:18reactions from parts of the audience when he said he did not understand
01:21how a person of faith could vote for a Democrat. That comment prompted a mixed response in the room,
01:28reflecting the diverse political views represented at the gathering.
01:34The moment quickly spread across social media, where supporters and critics alike weighed in on the
01:38significance of Trump's comments and what they reveal about the intersection of faith and politics
01:42in America today. Share your thoughts in the comments.
