Prosperity Gospel Charlatan, Paula White, Name Leader of Trump's "Faith Office"

There are bad decisions, there are catastrophic decisions, and then there’s naming Paula White to lead the White House Faith Office—a decision so astronomically dreadful it almost feels like satire. But no, this is reality. This is where we are. The most powerful office in the world has handed the microphone to a woman who has built her career not on the gospel, not on sound doctrine, but on the grift of the century, the prosperity gospel.

Paula White is not a pastor. She is not a theologian. She is not a biblical teacher. She is a saleswoman, and her product is an unholy cocktail of spiritual manipulation, cheap emotionalism, and greed wrapped in just enough Christianese to dupe the biblically illiterate into forking over their hard-earned money. If snake oil had a denominational equivalent, it would be Paula White Ministries. And now, thanks to this political debacle, she has the ear of the most powerful man in the world.

Imagine hiring a snake to guard a hen’s eggs while she was away. That is exactly what has just happened. A woman who has spent decades fleecing countless lost souls has now been placed in charge of America’s so-called "Faith Office."

But what faith, exactly, is she representing? Because it certainly isn’t the faith once for all delivered to the saints. No, Paula White is a full-fledged ambassador of the word of faith movement, a perverse distortion of Christianity that treats God like a vending machine—a genie in a bottle—where faith isn’t about trust in Christ’s finished work but about how much cash you’re willing to "sow into the kingdom" … her kingdom.

This is like appointing a pickpocket as the head of a security firm, a pyromaniac as a fire marshal, a fox not just to guard the henhouse, but to sit atop the roost, grinning as the chickens hand over their feathers voluntarily. This is spiritual negligence at the highest level.

Paula White's entire empire is built on a simple yet devastatingly effective con—Convince desperate, struggling people that if they just send her their money, God will rain down financial blessings upon them. It’s a classic Ponzi scheme, except instead of promising high returns on an "investment," she promises divine favor, supernatural wealth, and heavenly breakthroughs.

And like all good con artists, she knows how to work the crowd. She speaks with just enough energy, just enough biblical buzzwords, just enough rehearsed "revelations" to keep the checks rolling in. And when people don’t see their promised financial breakthrough? Well, obviously, they just didn’t have enough faith. Try again. Give more. Maybe next time God will show up.

This isn’t just bad theology. It’s spiritual extortion. And now this charlatan has been given the White House as her pulpit.

Let’s be clear, Paula White is not a Christian leader. She is a heretic. A fraud. A televangelist in the worst possible sense of the word. She is the spiritual equivalent of a casino boss, except instead of taking your chips at a poker table, she takes your rent money in the name of Jesus. She is a master of religious deception, the kind that preys on the weak, the suffering, and the poor—all while living in multi-million-dollar mansions and rubbing elbows with the political elite.

What does it say about the state of American Christianity when the person tasked with advising the president on matters of faith is someone who was once seen holding hands with Benny Hinn in an alleged affair, looking for all the world like a scene out of a bad religious soap opera?
