This Sunday, May 17, President @realDonaldTrump is holding an event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to pray and rededicate our nation to God—something no other president has done. I hope Christians from all across this country will come and take a stand for Jesus Christ at “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving.” My daughter @CissieGLynch will be speaking, and I will join by video during the program, which takes place 10:45 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts:
I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.
When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad.
And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree.
I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.
@DanielVConnolly But does he apologize? He says he “wants to apologize.” He could have said “I apologize.” Why is that? I think because he can’t bring himself to admit he was wrong.
Historically successful coach. Historically sore loser.
@Bachscore Has he? He says he “wants to apologize.” He could have said “I apologize.” Why is that? I think because he can’t bring himself to admit he was wrong.

Does he apologize, or does he “want to apologize?”
It’s more than semantics. I think the words are carefully chosen because he can’t bring himself to admit being wrong.

Geno Auriemma with a statement following his actions at the end of UConn's matchup with South Carolina:
"There’s no excuse for how I handled the end of the game vs. South Carolina. It’s unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut. I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for in how I reacted. The story should be how well South Carolina played, and I don’t want my actions to detract from that. I’ve had a great relationship with their staff, and I sincerely want to apologize to them."
@StorrsCentral Does he apologize, or does he “want to apologize?”

@RedsDaily4 I’m happy to hear this and hope they commit to it. My guess is that last season they were bottom half of the league in situational hitting.

@JonnyMicro You don’t agree with “any of his views?” Did you know ALL of his views? This is the problem: somehow disagreement on a handful of political issues turns into no agreement on anything.
@SpeakerJohnson You know good and well they aren’t mocking prayer. They’re mocking you and your ilk for doing NOTHING. Pray fervently, but don’t do it without action.
