Trump, the thrice-married, casino-building, reality TV star who once fumbled the pronunciation of “2 Corinthians,” has leaned hard into faith, transforming the White House into a beacon for evangelical Christians and a stage for a broader religious resurgence sweeping America.

A U.S. flag was later raised on the south lawn around 1 p.m. at a ceremony that included Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The couple was at the White House to watch the swearing in of Charles Kushner, Jared's father, as U.S. ambassador to France.
