‘Holy glazing’: Trump’s Spiritual adviser Paula White goes harder for him than he goes for himself, and it’s terminally cringe
If you’ve ever wondered how Trump’s political movement slid so effortlessly into outright messianic cosplay, Paula White is your answer. She’s the president’s spiritual advisor and everything you wouldn’t expect a pastor to be.
A resurfaced montage of Paula White’s sermons is going viral on X, and everyone wishes they’d never seen it. The video, originally from NowThis Impact’s YouTube, exposed the bizarreness of what Trump’s longtime spiritual adviser actually stands for. It’s not Christianity as most Americans understand it. White advertises herself as a televangelist, but her sermons are not even garden-variety televangelism.
What White delivers is something closer to theological fan fiction. If you listen to her enough, you’d believe Trump is the “chosen one,” and his critics are real demons. White runs Trump’s White House Faith Office and has spent years collapsing the boundary between God and him. In her own words, “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.” No, we’re not joking.
In one clip, White declares the White House “holy ground” because she stood there. “Wherever I go, God rules,” she says, explaining that divine authority follows her physical presence like a Wi-Fi signal. In another, she claims to be “downloading heaven” with each step. We’d comment on how cringe that sounds, but words wouldn’t suffice. Yet, there she is, serving as the leader of the White House Faith Office.
Paula White claims Trump’s presidency is divine providence
And her prayers for Trump aren’t any normal either. White repeatedly frames political opposition as demonic warfare. In one of the clips, she’s calling for spiritual networks aligned against Trump to be “broken” and “torn down.” Any tongue that rises against him, she warns, will be condemned by God. According to her sermons, criticism of Trump is rebellion against heaven.
Let any demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of president Trump, let it be broken. Let it be torn down in the name of Jesus.
White’s history makes the spectacle even harder to ignore. She is known to promote conspiracy theories, including claims that Snapchat exists primarily for human trafficking. “They can track your kid in less than a second and take them,” she announced. She has also described Trump’s rise as divine providence, saying, “That has to be the hand of God.”
As cringeworthy as it was to watch, the montage explained why Trump’s movement increasingly resembles a loyalty cult. White says she “releases angels” and burns demonic altars on Trump’s behalf. She also warns that “any tongue that rises against him will be condemned according to the word of God.” And it all sounds absurd until you realize that Trump actually believes those words. We need no explanation for the president’s narcissism now.
