Speaker Claims God Raised Trump to Build White House Ballroom
At a prayer event on the National Mall, Christian author Eric Metaxas stated that God “raised up” President Donald Trump to build the White House ballroom. This event, held to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, featured speakers emphasizing themes of Christian nationalism and America’s unique role as a Christian nation. President Trump delivered a video address, reciting scripture, while other speakers like Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio echoed sentiments of divine purpose and Christian influence on the nation. The gathering also saw critiques of perceived moral decline in the U.S. by figures like Franklin Graham.
