Many protestant churches recite it too.

Many don’t.

I’ve never said it.

Correct. I am a member of what is considered a reformed presbyterian denomination. The term "Catholic" as used in the Apostles' Creed is properly interpreted as the "universal" church.

The Apostolic Creed is for Catholics and offshoots and it seeks to establish the Church as of the Apostles versus of Jesus Christ. I would never recite it even in a Protestant faith church as it to me is an aberration and a pledge of allegiance to that Church which I refuse to do.
So if Trump refused to recite that I count it as a good thing, Christ teaches us that we are members of the Body of Christ and my allegiance is to Him directly, not a religion.

Notice that the Apostles Creed does not have the phrase Roman Catholic Church. Catholic Church is used in the sense of the general Church of all believers even those who feel they are mutually exclusive within the Roman Rite

A great many do not recite it and NONE speak to the “Catholic” church when they do speak the Creed.

The Creed is not Biblical, anyway.

45 years in Baptist churches, and I’ve never heard anyone say the Apostles Creed. Guess that makes me a heathen damned to hell...

I grew up Presbyterian and we learned and recited the Apostle’s Creed.

But I think President Trump needed his reading glasses because no one in that first row was reciting the Creed, they were all reading it.
