Paula White

“To say ‘no’ to President Trump would be saying ‘no’ to God, and I won’t do that.”

—Paula White, on being ‘ordered by God’ to serve as an adviser to Trump.

Spiritual Adviser to the President

Jan. 20, 2017 –

Millionaire-televangelist (read: grifter) and longtime friend of Donald Trump, Paula White has been among President Trumps ‘spiritual advisors’ since his inauguration. A proponent of the ‘prosperity gospel’, Paula preaches that God awards those of exceptional faith (such as herself) with wealth and riches.

It’s little wonder why Trump might feel a connection with White – they could hardly be a better religious philosophy for Trump than getting to believe he actually earned his wealth – and through God’s blessing no less.

Estimated net worth: $5,000,000
