Jim Bakker's dream: Trump "on a white horse, his beautiful, blond hair flowing in the wind"

[Miles Archer]

Televangelist Jim Bakker has praised Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump describing him in near mythical terms.

“God came to me in a dream last night and showed me Donald Trump riding on a white horse. His beautiful, blond hair was flowing in the wind. And he took his sword and slew a great serpent,” said Bakker on “The Jim Bakker Show.”

Bakker said he interpreted the dream to mean Trump would triumph over Islamic terrorism.

1. Sigmund Freud would have some fun with this fellow

Seems he has a lot of pent up anxiety about penises.
And coincidentally, Trump is a massive dick.

2. Oh, my Gawd!!!! He's crazier than he ever was on the PTL Network!!!!!

[JHB]

3. It's the heavy make up that he digs

[Tommy_Carcetti]

4. Okay, I'm going to plead ignorance and invoke Poe's Law here.

Is Bakker' still a legitimate televangelist or has he morphed into a parody of one after all the scandals that befell him earlier?

Either way, I think he's just lazily describing this cartoon from the hack Ben Garrison, a favorite amongst the Alt-Right, who eat up his work without a hint of irony.

20. a legitimate televangelist???

... as opposed to what?

[Maeve]

5. Cue the pics of Drumpf's hair blowing (like corn) eom

6. Bakker managed to temporarily slip out of his fetal position

so he could heap praise on his new savior.

7. And thats how they think , kids

[JoePhilly]

8. God is such a prankster!!

[longship]

9. And BTW, buy my crappy survival food buckets.

Which is Bakker's latest scam. Because, you know, Jesus coming back. Real soon now!

[TexasBushwhacker]

13. I don't understand why Bakker and his followeers

would need suvival food. I thought they were all going to be raptured and watch Armageddon from heaven, sharing a big bucket of popcorn with Jesus.

[longship]

16. But there's no popcorn in those buckets!

At least Bakker doesn't talk about popcorn.

It must like a... Rubber Biscuit!!! What D'ya want for nothing? (Bow, Bow, Bow!)

[malchickiwick]

10. When does the door in his forehead open so the little cukoo bird can spring out??

Must be in the next still.

[tavernier]

14. Gave me and hubby

a big chuckle.

[rbrnmw]

11. This guy is fleecing the flock again?

he's nuttier than pecan roll

[ailsagirl]

12. I honestly didn't know he was even *around* anymore

Brings back unsavory memories

[NastyRiffraff]

15. So when are the guys in white suits coming?

Not on a white horse. With a white straight jacket.

[jmowreader]

17. Dropping LSD is NOT a good hobby for 76-year-old men!

[Jamaal510]

18. What a vivid imagination he has...eom

[JHB]

19. Y'see, it's things like this for which I coined the word...

..."guanopath".

[eShirl]

21. And what's he selling these days?

I remember watching him bawling and crying as they perp-walked him away from his former life.

[BlueMTexpat]

22. Of course, Bakker - a con man himself -

would get wet dreams about Don the Con.

This article from March 2016 reminds us all of who/what Bakker is and answers some of the questions in responses here. http://europe.newsweek.com/televangelist-jim-bakker-back-440991?rm=eu

... But what if a particularly gifted grifter could merge televangelism and retail infomercials into a hybrid genre, wedding a for-profit sales platform with a cosmic plea for faith-based living? Enter infamous man-of-the-tattered-cloth Jim Bakker, a convicted felon who is back on television (via DirecTV, Roku, Apple TV) to warn his minions that the dreaded end days are fast approaching, and that they’d better start stocking up on dehydrated survival food ASAP.

Yes, the good Pastor Jim will trade you a seven-year supply of pasta, oatmeal, whey milk and black bean burger mix in exchange for a “love gift” to his “ministry” of $3,500. On top of that, he’ll swap you a solar-powered, “fuel-less” generator ($1,784) to heat the water to cook the uni porridge, as well as various mid-tech water bottles and hand-cranked ham radios that are sure to come in handy when Satan and his sooty soldiers light out on their final scavenger hunt for unredeemed souls.

Here’s how the new and improved Jim Bakker Show is formatted: Bakker and his second wife, Lori Beth (in whose name all of his assets are reportedly protected, given his unpaid $6 million debt to the IRS), have taken root in a rural suburb of Branson, Missouri, co-hosting an apocalyptic-themed “talk show” whose guests hold forth exclusively on those pesky, fast-approaching end times. Tsunamis, earthquakes, financial meltdowns, the Zika virus and ISIS—all are cited with a smattering of Revelation and rapture-rap, immediately followed by an ardent sales pitch for flashlights, foodstuffs and even real estate sales and rentals at Morningside (a 600-acre parcel in the Ozark foothills), where Bakker has teamed up with local developer Jerry Crawford to market a Christian-oriented residential enclave.

Sound familiar? Those of you who recall Bakker from his PTL (Praise the Lord) Club TV show may also remember how he fell afoul of the feds back in 1978: by overselling time-shares in debt-plagued Heritage USA—the biblically themed amusement park and resort—which landed Bakker behind bars for mail and wire fraud for the better part of five years. Fellow traveler Jerry Falwell damned him with faint praise, calling him “the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history.”

Much more at the link. Note: Hope it works for those DUers in the US. My link seems to have "eu" embedded, which presumably stands for "Europe" or "European."

23. I don't even want to think about how that dream ended for Jim Bakker. Ew.
