The Grifter

Mother Jones, the investigative political and current affairs magazine, published an interesting and revealing article on Sunday (link here) about Paula White, a televangelist and fringe evangelical "minister" who has latched on to Donald Trump and vice versa.

White is clearly a grifter of the highest order. For instance, she recently told her followers to send her as much of their earnings as possible, even if that meant they didn't pay their electric bill. If they paid the bill, they'd be putting the electric company above God, she claimed.

In the past, she has sold promises of eternal salvation to followers by urging them to give her $1,144 for a package of "resurrection seeds" that grant eternal life.

White and Trump have been associated with each other since 2006 when he appeared on her television show to promote one of his get-rich-quick books. She now also has a consulting job on religious matters inside the White House.

White is obviously using religion to fleece the gullible. And Trump has obviously used his alleged real estate expertise to fleece the gullible with things like Trump University.

It's not surprising these two bottom feeders have latched onto each other for self-enrichment.
