Trumpworld Insider Reveals President’s Embarrassing ‘Jesus’ Error

Sylvain Gaboury / Patrick McMullan via Getty Images View host Alyssa Farah Griffin, an aide in the first Trump administration, said her former boss had an embarrassing theory about Jesus Christ’s real name.

Griffin, 37, revealed the humiliating flub in a post on X.

Replying to a user who wondered what the “H” in Jesus H.

Christ stood for, Griffin shared, “Hand on my heart, my first day at the White House, Trump asked me if I knew what the ‘H’ stood for.

I said no.

He said, Horatio.” She added, “I think about that at least once a week. 😭” According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the most widely accepted historical theory for Jesus’ middle initial is that in the early Christian church, the first three letters of Jesus’ name in Greek were written as ΙΗΣ or IHS—which sparked confusion in Latin-speaking translations that frequently misread the “divine monogram” as the Latin letter H.

Folklore suggests the “H” became a stand-in for “Harold,” over time, after people regularly misheard the “Hallowed be thy name” part of “The Lord’s Prayer.” Griffin, a Republican former media strategist who also worked for Mike Pence and Mark Meadows and served as Pentagon press secretary, became The View ’s resident conservative co-host in 2022, when she filled the spot left by Meghan McCain when she departed the year before.

Griffin’s X post follows her 2024 announcement on The View that she’d voted for a Democrat for the first time when she cast her vote for Kamala Harris.

She resigned from Trump’s administration after breaking with him over his repeated denials that he lost the 2020 election.

“I made the decision to step down in December because I saw where this was heading, and I wasn’t comfortable being a part of sharing this message to the public that the election results might go a different way,” she wrote in an op-ed for Politico in 2021.

“I didn’t see that to be where the facts lay.” In 2023, she joined her co-hosts in sounding the alarm on Trump’s cognitive decline.

“He is not as sharp as he was in 2016, and many of us would argue that he wasn’t that sharp then.

You see a real decline in him.

It’s a fact you can’t get past,” she said at the time.
