Tue Jul 15 16:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump’s Faith Office Luncheon Veers Off-Script with Capone Comparison, Expletive
**Washington D.C.** – A White House Faith Office luncheon on Monday took an unexpected turn as President Donald Trump delivered remarks peppered with off-script tangents, including a comparison to notorious gangster Al Capone and an expletive.
Addressing a room of approximately 60 CEOs and business leaders who contribute to faith-based charities, Trump initially appeared to stick to his prepared remarks, stating, “I’ve ended the radical left war on faith, and we’re once again protecting religious freedom instead of destroying it, and God is once again welcomed back into our public square.”
However, the speech quickly devolved into a series of unrelated topics. Trump bizarrely compared himself to Al Capone, exaggerating the extent of his own investigations and calling the gangster “great.” “I was under investigation more than the late, great, Alphonse Capone,” Trump claimed, downplaying Capone’s violent history.
He also addressed his multiple indictments, incorrectly stating he had been indicted five times. “The one thing I did that was very helpful, I was indicted five times… All bulls–t, right? Terrible stuff,” Trump said, using an expletive that drew attention in the gathering of faith leaders.
Continuing his meandering speech, Trump made inaccurate claims about gas prices, stating they are at the lowest level in 50 years. “Gas prices have reached the lowest level in five decades… you’re seeing $1.99 $1.98,” he said, despite national averages being significantly higher.
Attendees reportedly responded positively to Trump’s unconventional speech, with clapping and cheering throughout.
The White House Faith Office, established by executive order in February, held its first event of its kind, according to Fox News. Trump, who has historically appealed to religious voters, has frequently invoked God in his political rhetoric since entering the political arena a decade ago.
