Trump Enrages Christians By Naming ‘Heretic’ Pastor to Admin

Trump’s preacher of choice goes too far for some evangelicals.

Summary

Donald Trump angered Christian MAGA supporters by appointing televangelist Paula White-Cain to lead his newly established White House Faith Office.

White-Cain, a proponent of prosperity theology, is viewed by many evangelicals as a “heretic” who exploits faith for profit. Prosperity theology believes that God rewards the truly faithful with material wealth and personal success.

Conservative Christians condemned the move, calling it Trump’s “worst decision,” citing her controversial teachings and personal scandals.

White-Cain, a longtime Trump ally, previously advised his administration and led prayers contesting the 2020 election results.

        For some reason, I thought it was codified in…I’m not based in the US so I could very well be off about that. I guess it’s too far along in the takeover for there to be any kind of practical resistance to any of this part

          Lots of things that are codified in the constitution are falling apart now. If Republicans control all branches of the government, including much of the judiciary, there’s little chance of any of it being enforced.
