On his television program yesterday, End Times prepper pastor Jim Bakker declared that he knows in his “spirit” that at least “a hundred hit men” have been hired to try to kill President Trump.

Bakker was interviewing Paul McGuire about the book “Trumpocalypse: The End-Times President, a Battle Against the Globalist Elite, and the Countdown to Armageddon,” when he fumed that Trump has been “put on trial when there is no sign of a crime.”

McGuire responded by blaming the church, saying that it is the responsibility of Christians to “watch the back of the man that God put in the White House.”

“We watch his back as he drives every scoundrel, skunk, thief, deceiver, two-faced liar [out of Washington],” McGuire thundered. “This is our man! We’d better watch his back. He’s not Superman, he’s a mortal man. They want to kill him.”

After McGuire cited right-wing pastor Rodney Howard-Browne’s claim that he had been told by a congressman of a plot to assassinate Trump, Bakker responded by declaring that this is exactly what he has been warning about for months.

“There’s probably a hundred hit men been hired to kill Trump, or more,” Bakker said. “I know this in the spirit. He’s so hated that they want him dead.”
