6 Christian figures react to Trump post depicting himself as Jesus-like healer: 'Blasphemy'

By Samantha Kamman, Christian Post Reporter

Allie Beth Stuckey, host of the “Relatable” podcast, said in a Monday X post that the image reflects “what happens when Paula White is your personal pastor and people around you are continually comparing you to Christ.”

“Trump desperately needs to understand the bad news that precedes the Good News: you are a helpless sinner in desperate need of a Savior, as we all once were,” she added.

Paula White-Cain, a Florida televangelist, serves in the White House Faith Office and has long been a spiritual adviser to Trump.

During a private Easter lunch at the White House on April 1, White-Cain compared Trump to Jesus, saying: “Mr. President … you were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It’s a familiar pattern that our lord and savior showed us.”

The comment drew backlash on social media, including from Christian leaders who viewed it as a sacrilegious comparison.
