Trump’s new staffer is hilarious yet terrifying in full televangelist mode – our 7 favourite reactions
We’re not sure why Donald Trump needs a spiritual advisor when he doesn’t appear to have a soul, but his choice of Paula White is no great surprise. Firstly, because she preaches that following her spiritual advice can make you rich, and secondly, because she says stuff like this:
‘To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.’ — Trump’s faith adviser and ‘Righteous Gemstones’ character come to life Paula White is now an official White House employee pic.twitter.com/WKjKWjlmAH

We aren’t in a position to tell Paula White how to follow her beliefs, but we suspect the bible might be a bit iffy on a man who says you can grab women “by the pussy” being put on a par with God. Her Trump fervour has been amusing and bemusing Twitter in equal measure since Now This dropped the supercut.

This certifiable lunatic just became Trump’s “spiritual advisor.” She’s perfect because she’s morally and intellectually bankrupt, she’s a fellow grifter, and she uses the false pretense of religion as a guise for her own hatred and insanity. pic.twitter.com/Y7Oaai4QN4

How totally not shocking that Paula White, Trump's official spiritual advisor, is just like him: a lying, narcissistic shakedown charlatan who uses radical, right-wing, fake Christianity to con gullible people to get attention, money, and power. pic.twitter.com/9naBxUmJK7

Of course, this being Trump, Paula White may not have been hired for her spiritual insight alone.
