“President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency. In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God,” Graham wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President,” he continued.

Graham, who is the son of the late prominent evangelist Billy Graham, is the president of the evangelical organization Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

He has long been an ardent supporter of the president, saying last November that he endorses Trump because he defends the Christian faith.
