Comedy Gold: Spiritual adviser Paula White says Trump is a man of repentance



Megachurch pastor and televangelist Paula White, who is a spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, says he is a man of repentance and she has heard him do it.

Given her pastoral role, White said Saturday in Nashville during the Religion News Association conference that she would never disclose the details of what he repented for in private conversations with her. But she declared him a man of faith and said she has watched Trump grow since they met 16 years ago. White, who leads New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida, said she was one of the first people Trump spoke to during a “very challenging time he faced” during the 2016 presidential campaign. She described him as “understanding” in that moment.

“He said, ‘I have become a better man,’” White said. “He knows like all of us know that prayerfully I’m better tomorrow than I am today and I’m better today than I was yesterday.”

White explained that she is trying to surround Trump with men and women of God so he can hear their views, concerns and community needs. So far, she’s connected Trump to nearly 400 religious leaders, she said.

She believes Dump. About anything. She's a member of the lowest, stupidest ranks of the Deplorables.

9. 'Surround him with men of God'

Grifters like grifters I reckon. They have a lot in common.

Its a god damn disgrace that there are things called a Megachurch.

I would think any real Christian would be sickened by these hucksters who make millions of dollars every year off 'Christianity'. At least there's a bit of a record what Jesus Christ thought of these Moneylenders.

I know not all Christians are like these despicable folk, I do not wish to imply that they are. I just have a big problem with the people making millions off of Christianity. Who more often than not espouse the exact opposite of Jesus Christ's message. Peace, no hate, no violence, no judgment of others, help each other ALWAYS.

That's the message we need so badly these days.

10. Is that why he agreed to pay $25 million to settle those fraud claims, Paula?

Because, you know, I don't think I've heard any repentance from Trump about that.

15. "Man of faith...prayerful." Why are these things considered virtues?

Translation: He believes his imaginary friend is real and believes that imaginary friend has some power over the physical world. And somehow expressing that disconnection from reality is not just normal, but seriously newsworthy.

The human species is doomed.
