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.
