Mark Taylor: Trump Will Go Down As 'The Most Praying President In American History'

Self-proclaimed “firefighter prophet(link is external)” and right-wing conspiracy theorist(link is external) Mark Taylor appeared on TheDove TV's "Focus Today" program yesterday(link is external), where he declared that President Trump is such a devout Christian that he wants to go down in history as America's "most praying president."

Taylor told host Perry Atkinson that Mary Colbert, with whom he authored his book "The Trump Prophecies(link is external)," is a part of Trump's evangelical advisory board and that Trump recently told this group that "when he leaves office, he wants his legacy to be that he wants to be known as the most praying president in American history."

Echoing Colbert again(link is external), Taylor went on to assert that Trump's name-calling and personal attacks on his critics are no different than what Jesus did.

"I've seen evangelicals attack this man over how he attacks people or how he speaks to people or he'll call people names," Taylor said. "Well, read your Bible folks, the Lord Jesus himself called people names."

Taylor said that America is in such "a huge mess" that God realized that it was going to take someone "with a very heavy hand" like Trump to turn things around, which means that those who are criticizing Trump are actually criticizing God.

"God himself is using Donald Trump," Taylor said. "It's God that is doing it, He's just doing it through Donald Trump."
