'Psychopath doomsday cultist': Trump's spiritual adviser attacked over Iran

President Donald Trump’s personal spiritual adviser, Pastor Paula White-Cain, was called a “psychopath doomsday cultist” by a conservative commentator.

“Not only is this psychopath doomsday cultist Trump's spiritual advisor, but Trump also created a special office for her in February called the White House Faith Office, where she is a senior advisor,” journalist Pedro L. Gonzalez from the conservative Chronicles Magazine posted on X. “White once said, ‘To say no to President Trump is to say no to God.’”

Gonzalez shared a video of White-Cain at a recent spiritual event in which she urged her supporters to “strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike and strike until you have victory. For every enemy that is aligned against you, let there be that we would strike the ground for you will give us victory.” White-Cain went on to speak in tongues, claimed to “hear a sound of abundance of rain” and calling for “victory” in the “quarters of heaven.” She also warns of angels “coming from Africa” and “from South America.”

Last month Trump appointed White-Cain as head of a new “Faith Office” where she is assigned to “protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, in our hospitals, and in our public squares. And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.”

In response to this appointment, journalist Daniel N. Gullotta wrote in the conservative publication The Bulwark that “White-Cain has long held that Trump was divinely chosen to lead the nation and that he is engaged in an ongoing battle against demonic forces,” even claiming people who voted against Trump would “stand accountable before God one day” and that “demonic confederacies” tried to steal the 2020 presidential election. She has also argued for the Christian basis of Trump’s anti-immigrant policies, even though Pope Leo XIV has denounced xenophobia as un-Christian.

"Jesus would have been 'sinful' and not 'our Messiah' if he had broken immigration laws when fleeing persecution to Egypt as a baby with his family, as told in the Gospel of Matthew,” White-Cain said when defending Trump. White-Cain is also militantly pro-Israel and has influenced Trump’s policies toward that country.

“As Senior Advisor to President Trump of Faith and Opportunity Initiative, Pastor Paula worked closely with faith leaders and the Trump administration in helping move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem,” White-Cain claims on her website, adding that she helped bring together the “three Abrahamic religions to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue with the signing of the Abrahamic Accords in 2020 by representatives from Bahrain, Emirates, Israel, and the United States, recognition of Israel’s biblical sovereignty in the Golan Heights, signing an executive order that recognizes “anti-Zionism” as “antisemitism,” and so much more!

The website adds, “In July 2024, in Washington D.C., Pastor Paula was honored to meet privately with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, Pastor John Hagee, and other Christian leaders as the Prime Minister thanked and expressed his appreciation to the U.S. evangelical community for their unwavering support of Israel, for their prayers for the release of the hostages, their prayers for the IDF soldiers, and the security of the State of Israel at this ‘crossroads of history.’”
