Though you may never have heard of her, Paula White-Cain is a “spiritual adviser” to Donald Trump, and also serves as a senior adviser in the White House Faith Office.
During a pre-Easter event on Wednesday, White-Cain made an odd comparison that enraged many people who heard her remarks.
“Jesus taught so many lessons through his death, burial, and resurrection. He showed us great leadership, great transformation requires great sacrifice,” she said, as Trump looked on. “And, Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life.”
“You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us,” White-cain continued. “But it didn’t end there for him, and it didn’t end there for you.”
“God always had a plan. On the third day, he rose, he defeated evil, he conquered death, hell, and the grave. And because he rose, we all know that we can rise. And, sir, because of his resurrection, you rose up. Because he was victorious, you were victorious.”
But wait, there’s more!
“I remember when we told our first briefing, ‘You can now pray again and worship again,‘” she said. “They began to shout and praise and say ‘Thank you, Lord.’”

That didn’t sit well with Christians and non-Christians alike, some of whom noted that Trump never attends church, cannot name his favorite Bible verse, has been married three times (and cheated on all of his wives), and is also mentioned over 38,000 times in the Epstein files.
Blasphemous.

They take the language of sacrifice and salvation
and twist it into praise for a politician.
“Betrayed.”
“Resurrected.”
“Chosen.”
This isn’t faith.
It’s idolatry with a teleprompter —
turning power into religion and calling it holy.
And that’s how a movement…
The constant blasphemy with these *fake* Christians such as Paula White is disgusting. That whole room is filled with frauds. One for sure is. A *convicted* one, I might add.

Paula White is a Pastortainer. It doesn't get more blasphemous and sacrilegious than this.

And God spoke all these words:

“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before me.

I want one evangelical that’s not MAGA but Republican tell me how this is okay⁉️
I’m a former PK, my dad was a huge speaker in the states and world.
He would NEVER, EVER compare a man to Jesus..but this woman worships DJT more than Jesus
As a follower of Jesus Christ, I see nothing of His life or teachings in the words and actions of President Trump of his false prophet “spiritual advisor” Paula White. Christian Nationalism is a dangerous heretical cult.

As for Easter, Dementia Don probably thinks that’s about bunny rabbits and candy. After all, he has no faith in anything but money.
