White House adviser reveals laughable source of Trump's faith

Donald Trump’s lapdog in the State Department made a call to action earlier this week, asking employees there to report anyone who seemed to give off any “anti-Christian” vibes in the workplace.

And while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is sniffing out those deemed sacrilegious by snitches, one of Trump’s mouthpieces is hilariously doubling down on the affair-riddled president’s public-facing faith—which he found on TV, apparently.

“President Trump has had faith in his life since his early ages, going to Sunday school. One of his treasured books is his Bible given to him by his mother,” Jennifer Korn, faith director of the White House Faith Office, told Ainsley Earhardt on “Fox & Friends” Thursday.

“Fast forward into his adulthood in 2000 when he called Pastor Paula White and was watching Christian television,” Korn recounted. “So remember, before he even thought about being president, he was watching Christian television.”

To laugh at it. It was particularly funny if you watched it with the sound off.

President Donald Trump’s chief faith adviser is selling seven “supernatural blessings” for Easter season gifts of $1,000 or more.

On her website and social media, televangelist Paula White has a special offer for what she calls the “Passover season” when “your obedience to align yourself with the desires of God” can “release seven specific supernatural blessings for your body, your family, your finances and your future” ...

George Carlin used to say that it was strange that God always needs money. He would point out the absurdity of how the supposed Almighty and All-knowing Creator of the Universe is really bad at managing money. He always needs all of yours.
I realize that many people turn to religion for comfort, or they grew up indoctrinated and don't feel safe trying to find their own path. But I really don't understand the kind of mentality that doesn't see selling "Easter blessings" for a thousand bucks per pop for the kind of disgusting swindle that it really is.

She's a bleached blonde with ironed hair who specializes in spewing stream of consciousness bullshit withe the maximum amount of perseveration of fundagelical buzzwords. Stupidly gulligle people are convinced she has a direct pipeline to GawdlMighty. Sensible people look at her an do "da fuck?""

Apparently she's one of the fundagelical hucksters who has stood by him.

Where he has been married, where his kids were baptized, etc.

I am an Episcopalian. Trust me, he doesn't act like one.

and people in the audience would spontaneously jump up and start speaking in tongues. It was the most bizarre thing I'd ever seen and I worked at a psychiatric hospital once. I kept waiting for the snakes to come out.

Maybe she'll even sit in the Oval Office as she does it! I bet she can pray for 100 or more people at a time.

Omnipotent Being needs The Donald? He contacted Paula just to get in on he grift. His salvation has N-E-V-E-R crossed his mind. That, I will tell you. Believe me. Fake faith is eternally revealing.
