COMMENTARY: Trump May Not Be Acting Autonomously With Dictator Attitude With Christian Advisor By His Side


By Mona Austin

Weeks after Pres. Donald Trump's Spiritual Advisor Paula White Cain praised him for being chosen by God at an Easter Luncheon, he posted an illustration portraying himself releasing supernatural power. This correlating influence is significant. Pastor White Cain is also allegedly advising the president on U.S -Israel relations, which has produced an unpopular war. The conflict took on the tone of a religious war as various members of the Trump Administration referred to God-guided decisions and providential authority. These religiously hyped outcomes are perhaps not of his own design. It is the Florida pastor who has reinforced the idea that God called the president to lead the nation. The image he posted this time, appearing to channel Jesus Christ, sparked a refreshing rebuke from his evangelical base. Dressing like Jesus and performing holy work was apparently a religious redline that garnered rejections from devotees. The presence of an AI cartoon on the president's official account is arguably unscrupulous alone, yet the embrace of Godly attributes without demonstrating a Godly attitude was not accepted. Did he feel empowered and emboldened by his spiritual guidance to depict himself as a type of healer/savior? What makes Trump think he can call for peace on one hand and endorse and fully engage in war on the other. Christ is the Prince of Peace. The duplicitous image seems to contradict scripture. In addition he has It appears that , the president's personal pastor feels she has the power to transfer spiritual power to the president. He has consistently communicated religious overtures while leading in his second term.
A junior staffer on the White House media team is the designated gate keeper who is keeping the activities of the faith office out of the media spotlight but the nation deserves to know who is providing counsel on religious matters.

U.S. Murder Offenders by Race: 2023 FBI Data

  Data on murders (homicides) committed by race in the United States primarily comes from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which relies on reports from law enforcement agencies. The most recent detailed breakdown available is for 2023, but due to the FBI's transition to a new reporting system (NIBRS), not all agencies submitted complete data—only about 70-80% of the population was covered, so totals are undercounts. These figures represent known offenders (where race was identified), not arrests or convictions, and include single-offender and multi-offender incidents. In 2023, there were approximately 15,708 known murder offenders with identified race. Here's the breakdown: Race Number of Offenders Percentage of Known Offenders Rate per 100,000 Population White 8,842 56.3% 3.51 Black or African American 6,405 40.8% 14.00 Other (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander) 461 2.9% 1.31 Notes on the...
