The President Who Became a Prophet
Briefly

In the wake of devastating economic predictions following President Trump's tariffs, House Speaker Mike Johnson urged trust in Trump's instincts. Supporters echoed this sentiment, attributing Trump's moves to a strategic genius likened to '4-D chess.' Contrastingly, many established economists and analysts raised alarms about the adverse consequences of his economic policies. Amid these conflicting narratives, figures like evangelist Julie Green suggested a divine intervention in the economy, claiming that God forewarned the crash. This marks a significant shift from the more analytical political approaches seen in earlier administrations like Obama’s.
"For many devotees, Trump was a political savant. He was playing '4-D chess,' supposedly outsmarting billionaire backers and Nobel Prize-winning economists who cautioned against his policies."
"In an April 7th video, Iowa-based evangelist Julie Green claimed that God had warned her of the economic crash before the tariffs were announced, citing a divine plan in action."
