Michele Bachmann: Trump is ‘increasing an awareness of God in the United States’

Former Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann is convinced that President Trump is a man of God, and she reiterated that conviction during an appearance on Christian author Jan Markell’s Understanding the Times radio program this past weekend.

According to Bachmann, Trump has been “working nonstop” since his inauguration to make America great again in the eyes of God.

“He is unashamed in standing up for increasing an awareness of God in the United States,” she said. “He recognizes how important that is and that that is a basis of Western civilization … As a believer in Jesus Christ, I could not be more happy with what I am seeing coming out of the Trump White House. This is beyond my wildest expectations.”

“The president himself is man of prayer and a man who loves to receive prayer,” she continued. “He is a man who, I do believe, understands who the God of the Bible is and he wants to lift up the God of the Bible here in the United States.

“The Lord is working mightily in our government and I believe it is because God is being reverenced, God is being lifted up. Prayer is not foreign in the White House, it’s not foreign in the Executive Office Building; looking to God, looking through Bible studies, this is not foreign anymore.”

“I’m shocked at how happy I’ve been with what I’ve seen so far,” she said. “I really believe that it’s because of prayer. I totally believe it’s based on prayer. He’s president because of prayer — the advances we’ve seen are based on prayer and I think going forward, that is what we need.”
