Ivanka Trump also read the prayer, despite having converted to Judaism
The Apostles' Creed is considered Christianity's most core statement, outlining the heart of the Christian beliefs
Trump has said he is a Presbyterian and grew up going to a Presbyterian church
Social media users pointed out the scene, with some calling Trump a hypocrite for portraying himself as a devout evangelical Christian
As President Trump stood beside former presidents Obama, Clinton, Carter and their wives Wednesday during George H.W. Bush's funeral, all but he and first lady Melania were seen reciting The Apostles' Creed.
Trump is now receiving criticism for failing to recite the act of faith, as video shows the front row of presidents and first ladies saying the creed in unison while glancing at their programs where the prayer was printed.
Trump, however, remained stone-faced with his program in hand and arms crossed, refusing to look down once for assistance as Melania stood at his side - both silent.
Social media users were quick to point out the scene at the Washington National Cathedral, critical of Trump as he ran on the base of being devout evangelical Christian, appealing to many conservatives.
