Watch: Trump quotes Bible, speaks of Jesus’ birth at National Christmas Tree Lighting

President Donald Trump quoted John’s Gospel and shared about God’s design for children at the National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C., Thursday.

“Tonight, this beautiful evergreen tree glows bright on the dark and cold winter night and reminds us of the words of Gospel of John: ‘In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.’ Beautiful words.

“With the birth of Jesus, human history turned from night to day, His Word and His example call us to love one another, to serve one another, and to honor the sacred truth that every child is specially made in the image of God.”

Trump, a Republican, has worked to reintegrate religion into public life and has also affirmed the biblical existence of two genders, pushing back against transgender policies aimed at children and adults.
