Key Points:
- Conservative pastor Robert Jeffress claimed President Donald Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, amid tensions over differing views on the Iran conflict and nuclear weapons.
- Jeffress, a longtime Trump supporter, defended the president's criticism of the Pope and argued that Trump’s stance aligns more closely with biblical teachings on government protection.
- Trump has promoted his "God Bless the USA Bible," blending scripture with patriotic American documents, though critics question his biblical knowledge due to past gaffes.
- The Pope denied Trump's accusations that the Vatican supports Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, reaffirming the Church's mission to preach peace and oppose all nuclear arms.
- Trump also faced backlash for sharing an AI-generated image depicting himself as Jesus, which was later deleted, while a gold statue of him was recently unveiled at his Miami golf course with support from a group of pastors.
