Mockery as Trump makes 'wild admission' during National Prayer Breakfast speech

2 min read

President Donald Trump's "wild admission" during his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday was swiftly mocked by political analysts and observers.

Trump gave one of his signature "weaving" speeches during the event, which was attended by lawmakers, political advocates, and religious organizations alike. The speech included a digression about how a prominent Southern Baptist preacher named Robert Jeffress was one of Trump's biggest supporters, during which Trump seemed to admit he may have never read the Bible, despite drawing significant support from the Evangelical Christian community.

"Is he here?" Trump asked the crowd about Jeffress. "Robert Jeffress was on television in 2016 when I had just announced I was running, and he said, 'I know every candidate very well, and I know Trump a little bit. He may not be as good with the Bible as some of them, and he may not have read the Bible as much as some of them. In fact, he may not have ever read the Bible. But he will be a much stronger messenger for us.'"

Trump's comments attracted mockery online.

"Wild admission from someone who literally sells Bibles and once called it his 'favorite book of all time,'" Hemant Mehta, a "Jeopardy!" champion and podcaster, posted on X.

"As a Christian, I've gotta say these clips coming out of the National Prayer Breakfast just cut deeper each year," Kate deGruyter, former staffer for Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), posted on X. "The religious right has made such a bad bet by going full MAGA."

"He's been pretending to be a Christian for decades and he still can't even pretend to have read the Bible," John Iadarola, host of "The Damage Report" podcast, posted on X.

"Trump merely sells Bibles," the political commentary account PatriotTakes posted on X. "He ignores the parts about helping the poor and loving migrants."

The post 332M accounts and $28B TVL, appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PayPal USD debuts on TRON as a permissionless token PYUSD0, enabled by LayerZero’s OFT standard and the Stargate Hydra extension. The announcement on September 18, 2025 (Geneva) introduces native interoperability between chains and transfers without manual steps for users; the news echoes elements already communicated by PayPal at the launch of PYUSD PayPal Newsroom. The move concerns an ecosystem that includes 332 million accounts and over $28 billion in TVL. In this context, the fungibility of a stablecoin regulated across multiple networks and the use of TRON as a settlement layer for payments and remittances is at stake. According to the data collected by TRONSCAN updated as of September 18, 2025, the network metrics confirm the cited volumes and highlighted traffic patterns. Our editorial team has verified the transaction logs and monitored the public chain metrics to corroborate the reported figures; the observations on daily flows and TVL are consistent with the network dashboards. Industry analysts observe that the entry of a regulated issuer like PayPal tends to increase institutional interest, provided there is transparency on reserves and compliance checks. What is PYUSD0 on TRON and why is it relevant PYUSD0 is the representation of PayPal USD on TRON. It is pegged one-to-one to PYUSD through the OFT standard: the two tokens remain a single stablecoin, fungible and reconciled across chains. The integration is made possible by Stargate Hydra, now operational through LayerZero. According to the founder of TRON, Justin Sun, the extension on TRON expands access and trust for users and institutions. For Bryan Pellegrino (CEO of LayerZero Labs), stablecoins represent a pillar of global payments and remittances, as the native compatibility between chains enables their operational scalability. It must be said that the alignment between issuer, cross-chain infrastructure, and settlement network is a key element. Key Numbers: TRON…
