Jim Bakker told his television audience last week that Donald Trump is a born again Christian who is too modest to share his faithful and humble ways with the general public.

“I’m not supposed to tell you this,” he said. “But I have eyewitnesses. Donald Trump is a very tender man and he weeps. He wants to please God more than anything else.”

Indeed, Bakker declared that “God has called, I believe, Donald Trump,” a claim that he says has been confirmed by several pastors and prophets.

Trump has described himself as a lifelong Christian who is facing government persecution because he is a “strong Christian.” He has also said that he has never asked God for forgiveness and that Jesus had a massive ego.
