Prosperity gospel preacher Paula White, who has laid claim as President Donald Trump’s “spiritual adviser,” has told the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard that the president has in the past talked about building a megachurch.
According to White, Trump first brought up building an all-glass cathedral with her back in 2006. White says that Trump had even picked out an architect for the project, although she says it never came to fruition because the timing wasn’t right for her.
“He said, ‘Let’s build a crystal cathedral for God,'” she claims.
Although Trump never followed through on this plan to build his own megachurch, White holds out hope that he’ll take action on it in the future.
“Who knows what God will do,” she says. “Who knows, maybe we will end up building a cathedral.”
White also detailed the president’s purported Christian faith, which she claimed was very strong despite not speaking “Christian-ese.”

Kind of like Saddam Hussein building mosques all over the place.

1. So did he say he'd PAY for it, Paula?

2. Seems like he could just buy the one Robert Shuler built in Orange County California.

It is now owned by the Catholic Church. They probably could use the money to pay off all of the abuse claims.

7. One should note there are six degrees of separation between the Crystal Cathedral and Trump

Robert Schuller was of the same stripe, and a close friend of his mentor, Norman Vincent Peale, and Trump bought into Norman Vincent Peale's shtick like nobody else did.

4. Kiss of death

for organized religion. He’s already fucked up running another legal racket - a casino - so why not try his hand at fucking up running a church? Although a church seems like a good front for a money-laundering operation...

11. NO! Just no.

This is bullshit. This woman needs to be investigated and taken down. She is a malevolent influence and should have no business interfering with our government.
