Revealed: Trump wanted to build a mega-church
The Washington Examiner ^ | November 1, 2019 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 11/01/2019 10:02:09 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Of all the projects real estate mogul Donald Trump wanted to build, here’s one that nobody saw.

According to his long-time personal pastor, Paula White-Cain, Trump, in 2006 was taking steps to build a glass cathedral.

“He wanted to build a house of God,” she told us. “He said, ‘Let’s do this, let’s build this before we’re too old,’” said White-Cain told Secrets.

Trump had an architect in place and was eager to have her take charge of the church, but White-Cain said the timing wasn’t right for her. At the time, her ministry was on nine TV networks, and she was heading to a divorce from her second husband in 2007.

He can be impeached for this, yes?

It would have.

... At the time, her ministry was on nine TV networks, and she was heading to a divorce from her second husband in 2007...

But there might have been a more suitable partner :)

Divorce from her 2nd husband . . . don’t like the smell of that from a female preacher

Yes - that’s a violation of church and state separation.

Also it’s obvious Trump was trying to buy indulgences!
“Uhh that’s a Protestant church there Mr. Tapper”
“Haw! Trump is too stupid to realize he’s trying to buy indulgences from a Protestant church!”

If a TV evangelist says it, it must be true.

Sorry, I find Paula White loopier than the large hadron collider.

President Trump really needs to distance himself from her. Paula White has a program that airs on the “Impact” cable channel. It’s basically an infomercial: “God will bless you if you send me a $300.00 Faith Seed.” She often has fellow prosperity hustler Steve Munsey on there with her to back her up: “God spoke to me, and he directed me to tell you that you need to send a $300.00 Faith Seed to Paula. Just pick up the phone and dial the number at the bottom of the screen.”

Her mother separated from her father when she was 5. Her father then turned around and committed suicide sending her mother, her brother, and herself into poverty. She was passed off to a caregiver who allegedly sexually & physically abused her. This all occurred between the ages of 5 to 9 years of age.

So I'm sure these played a part. Her 3 marriages include her first marriage while still a teenager in 1984. After finding Christianity her marriage failed. In 1990 or 1991, not real clear, she married pastor Randy White (not the football player). The announcement that their marriage was ending occurred in 2007, and was an amicable divorce (the 2nd for both). She then married Johnathan Cain of Journey fame in 2015.

She has been surrounded by controversy for sure though. 8>)

It’s wrong of me to cast judgement.

I did things in my 20s that could have gotten me 5 to 10.

What a BRUTAL life she had and I hope she has finally found happiness with this man.

Thanks for all the info.
