The first big problem with Paula White is that she is controversial even within Christian circles. The Reverend William J Barber II has called her particular “so-called prosperity gospel… a false gospel.”

“It is an attempt to interpret the gospel to be primarily about personal wealth and personal power, which is contrary to the theology of Jesus, where the good news was always focused on caring for the poor, the least of these, the stranger, the sick,” he added to the New York Times.

But even more concerning, though, is this move towards “religious leaders weaponising faith for politics”, as The Orlando Sentinel wrote this week regarding her controversial appointment.

As The Week put it: “A shameless religious grifter is a perfect fit for this presidency, an administration built on giving desperate people false hope for personal gain.”
