When Donald Trump decided to run for President, he created an alliance with Evangelical Christian leaders who preach the divisive "prosperity gospel."

As opposed to teaching examples from the life of Jesus Christ, preachers of the prosperity gospel claim the more money you give them, the more money God will give you.


As such, rather than relief efforts for the poor, those unemployed due to COVID-19 social distancing efforts or the housebound elderly, Evangelical Christian televangelists are cashing in wherever possible by promising immunity to the Novel Coronavirus through donations to them or the sales of trinkets or debunked "health" products.

One such person cashing in is the official spiritual adviser to President Trump, Paula White-Cain. White-Cain—who uses just Paula White for her church—makes frequent visits to both the White House and Mar-a-Lago.

The controversial evangelist took to social media to make her pitch to cash in on her followers' health fears.

Like many of her fellow prosperity gospel televangelists, White-Cain is a multimillionaire.

In her video, White-Cain refers to her ministry as a "hospital." She asks her followers to send "Paula White" $91 in reference to Psalm 91.

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence...."

White-Cain said:

"We are a hospital to the sick... not necessarily the physically sick."
"We are a hospital for those who are soul-sick, those who are spiritually sick."
"Don't forget, now is not the time to abandon your covenant with God. It's a time that you go deeper. Stand with your pastor."

White-Cain's plea for cash to plant a seed for her "hospital" drew criticism from many.







Sadly, many people will send money for the false promises from multimillionaire Evangelical Christian pastors whose prosperity gospel has made only them rich.

Social distancing and washing your hands is free folks.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.

A preliminary estimate shows the U.S. economy contracted by 0.3% in the first quarter of Trump’s second term, a sharp contrast to the 2.4% GDP growth recorded during Joe Biden’s final quarter in office.
