Paula White compares Trump to Jesus in remarks made at a White House Easter lunch on Wednesday, telling the president he had been betrayed, arrested and falsely accused in a pattern familiar from the Gospels.
The event in the East Room on 1 April 2026 was attended by more than 100 faith leaders as part of Holy Week observances centred on religious liberty. White, who heads the White House Faith Office, addressed Trump directly after praising his sacrifice and crediting God and the president himself for his return to office.
