Pastor Paula White, Spiritual Adviser and head of the White House Faith Office, compared billionaire President Trump’s “difficult life” to the life of Jesus at an Easter event.
White also praised Trump for restoring Christians’ ability to pray in public and to freely express their religious beliefs again.
In the past, Trump had publicly announced his commitment to ending “anti-Christian bias” at a White House press briefing. Resist Hate wrote about it at the time—the non-issue known as anti-Christian bias and false claims that Christians were facing persecution in the U.S.
“Donald Trump’s personal spiritual adviser has sparked backlash after comparing the billionaire president’s life to that of Jesus Christ’s, during an Easter lunch event at the White House.
Paula White-Cain, a televangelist who has served as Trump’s spiritual adviser across both his presidencies, used her Wednesday address to draw parallels between the legal battles and assassination attempts he has faced and the trials endured by Christ.
With the president standing behind her, and to whom she turned to address personally, White-Cain said:
“Jesus taught so many lessons through his death, burial and resurrection. He showed us great leadership, great transformation requires great sacrifice.

“You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our lord and savior showed us,” she said.”
