During prayers at an Easter lunch event, White-Cain a senior adviser to the White House Faith Office who is also a minister said Trump is the "greatest champion of faith ever seen in a president". His attempted assassination that almost cost his life; false accusations resulting in his arrest due to betrayal is comparing him to Jesus and His crucifixion.

Billy Graham's son Franklin who was there said "you raised him up for such a time as this. Father we pray you will give him victory".

This comes after Pope Leo said "God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have hands full of blood".

Unbelievable! What an insult to Christians comparing this bloodthirsty, war mongering excuse for a man to Jesus.
I completely fail to understand people who worship Trump.

It's blasphemy. These people are crazy and dangerous.

Unfortunately, those of us who deplore Trump's behaviour are accused of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome" so there is no rational discussion to be had with his supporters.

Shocking!

They see him as their saviour who will protect them ( especially from Muslims)

Exactly that , shocking but she will be applauded for this.
The lady in question is Trump's faith advisor, a tele evangelist and has written several books.

I've got Trump Detest Syndrome.

Me too henetha.

Well perhaps we'll have Tommy Robinson being blessed as the second coming by Rikki Doulan, it is Easter after all. If you look closely at most populist politicians and aspiring populists you will see that they are all following the same playbook!

Can Pope Leo negotiate with the Ayatollahs?

Cossy Fri 03-Apr-26 11:20:14

I too have Trump Detest Syndrome and don’t wish to be treated, thank you

Sorry, imo, they are all completely and utterly insanely bonkers!

I've got Trump Detest Syndrome.

Me too. How can I access help?

Yes, it is blasphemy.

There are worrying similarities here with the Russian Orthodox Church and Putin. They are intrinsically bound together with the church fully supporting the war in Ukraine and probably everything he does. It would seem to be in his power and under his control and he will most likely dutifully attend the Easter Mass.

henetha Fri 03-Apr-26 11:33:16

Well, like Cossy said, I don't wish to be treated for it.
I want to keep and encourage my TDS. We can't be cured anyway until he is well and truly gone.
And yes, it is blasphemy.

Orban has forged links with the Catholic church in Hungary.

Allira Fri 03-Apr-26 11:42:34

I just read this to DH who asked if this was a report from last Wednesday, 1st April?

However, I fear it is not.

imaround Fri 03-Apr-26 11:49:34

It is a cult.

Davida1968 Fri 03-Apr-26 11:51:54

Whaaaaat?!! (Have these people around "Trumpton", all been brain-washed?)

Maremia Fri 03-Apr-26 11:55:18

Why are you suggesting that the Pope negotiate with mullahs?

Maremia Fri 03-Apr-26 11:56:22

Doesn't that faith lady have an interesting history?

Ladyleftfieldlover Fri 03-Apr-26 11:58:15

Absolutely bonkers. Frightening too.

ronib Fri 03-Apr-26 12:31:03

Marrmia The Pope is seen as the leader of a major faith who, like many would like to see an end to all bloodshed. He will not be partisan one would hope and can offer encouragement to find solutions without continued violence. Pope Leo is a voice crying in the wilderness? Potentially Vance should heed his message….
