Charisma Media: “President Donald Trump isn’t merely part of prophetic fulfillment—he appears to be actively engaging with the prophetic itself”

“Prophetic” Christian media are exuberant that President Donald Trump shared a 2007 video of the late “Charismatic prophet” Kim Clement suggesting that Trump is part of a Christian prophecy and was chosen by God to be president. Modern Christian “prophets” are “religious leaders with followings among Pentecostal and charismatic Christians who claim the ability to predict the future based on dreams, visions and other supernatural phenomena,” according to Politico.

Many of these media figures reacted by “celebrating how this specific word spoken years ago has now come to pass” and declaring that “Donald Trump isn’t merely part of prophetic fulfillment—he appears to be actively engaging with the prophetic itself.”

The president’s invocation of Clement’s 2007 prophecy on Truth Social adds to Trump's apparent embrace of “prophetic” media and Christian nationalist rhetoric, including the idea that he was anointed or chosen by God.

  • Trump shared a “prophecy” that has circulated in “prophetic” Christian circles for years suggesting God would “put him in office”

    • On March 9, Trump posted a video of Kim Clement “prophesying about Donald Trump, 2007.” In the 2007 video, Clement claimed to be speaking on behalf of God and predicted that “Trump shall become a trumpet.” Clement added: “God says I will put at your helm for two terms a president that will pray but he will not be a praying president when he starts. I will put him in office and then I will baptize him with the Holy Spirit.” [Truth Social, 3/9/26; YouTube, 11/24/16]
    • Religious scholar Matthew Taylor explained that Clement, who died in 2016, was considered by followers to be a “modern-day prophet of global renown” and they have credited him “with being one of the first of the Charismatic prophets to ‘predict’ Trump’s election” with his 2007 prophecy. Taylor, who has written extensively on the rising influence of the prophetic movement, wrote in 2023 for The Bulwark: “Clement is hardly a household name in broader American evangelicalism, but within the independent Charismatic ecosystem, Clement is a modern-day prophet of global renown. His followers credit him with being one of the first of the Charismatic prophets to ‘predict’ Trump’s election, which he did all the way back in 2007. (He actually said ‘Trump shall become a trumpet,’ which hardly seems like a precise foretelling, but a bit of figurative leeway is built into almost every prophetic word.) Independent Charismatic leaders I have interviewed have pointed to Clement’s prophecies about Trump as some of the most convincing proofs of God’s anointing on the thrice-married, impious real estate mogul.” For years, figures with ties to the prophetic movement have shared Clement’s prophecy.

    • According to Politico, modern Christian “prophets” are “religious leaders with followings among Pentecostal and charismatic Christians who claim the ability to predict the future based on dreams, visions and other supernatural phenomena.” In recent years, these figures have hailed from a once-fringe movement called the New Apostolic Reformation, which is “a set of leadership networks whose leaders call themselves modern-day apostles and prophets and believe they are commissioned by God to take over the world.” NPR further explained that the movement “seeks to take dominion over politics, business and culture in preparation for the end times and the return of Jesus.” Experts and scholars have also documented how pro-Trump prophets “were central to the mobilization of Christians for the Jan. 6 insurrection, and many apostles, prophets and NAR symbols were present around the U.S. Capitol that day.” Discussing prophetic media, Taylor noted that there are “these Christian media ecosystems and niche cultures are not being paid close attention to by the mainstream media,” even though they are “some of the most radicalizing media spaces, especially charismatic Christian media spaces where Trump support is assumed.” [Politico, 2/18/21; Religion News Service, 5/6/24; NPR, 8/9/11; The Conversation, 1/12/21; WNYC, On The Media, 4/19/24]

  • “Prophetic” Christian media celebrated Trump's post sharing Clement’s 2007 prophecy, including claiming “he appears to be actively engaging with the prophetic itself”

    • Charisma Media, which regularly publishes articles and podcast episodes dedicated to prophecy, celebrated that “President Donald Trump isn’t merely part of prophetic fulfillment—he appears to be actively engaging with the prophetic itself.” The outlet added: “For many believers who follow prophetic ministry, Clement’s words have long circulated in Christian circles as a striking prediction about who would one day rise to the highest office in the United States.” Charisma Media has been described as a “major empire of the independent charismatic world” by Matthew Taylor, who said that Charisma is “a niche media, not something that most Americans would ever touch, but for the millions of Christians who are listening to this media, it has become a really dominant influence for them.” Taylor said that Charisma Media “will often write about a new prophecy, and not in a skeptical way, but present it as ‘Well, isn’t this amazing?’” [Charisma Media, 3/9/26, accessed 3/12/26, accessed 3/12/26; WNYC, On The Media, 4/19/24; Rolling Stone, 2/28/23]
    • On FlashPoint, which has pledged to provide “commentary on current issues from a conservative and prophetic viewpoint,” Christian nationalist “prophet” Lance Wallnau celebrated Trump's post and prayed God would give the president “a prophetic sense like he's never had.” Wallnau: “Donald Trump today posted on Truth Social Kim Clement's prophecy about him that ‘I will make Trump a trumpet, and he will go in, and he will have hot blood, and he will not do be a religious man, but he'll actually become a praying man, and I'll fill him with the Holy Ghost.’ Trump posted that about himself today. So, Father, we just thank you for this president. And Lord, we just — we love this man. For all the words that are spoken and the curses and frustration, that we just ask you to cancel all of that by the blood of Jesus, for you've given us a better leader than we deserve. And we ask you that you will give him the physical strength in his body, the clarity in his mind, the counsel of wisdom surrounding him, and such a prophetic sense like he's never had.” [FlashPoint, 3/9/26; Victory Channel, accessed 3/10/26; Media Matters, 7/18/23, 9/27/24; Rolling Stone, 9/29/22]

    From the March 9, 2026, edition of FlashPoint, streamed on Rumble

    • Sean Feucht, a self-described Christian nationalist who has shared prophetic dreams and prophetic words, celebrated: “The President of the United States posted a prophetic word yesterday from 2007!” Feucht, who recently announced on his podcast stream a “revival” partnership with the federal government for the country’s 250th celebration, added: “Will be fun to see how the cessationists and charismatic-haters respond.” [Facebook, 3/10/26, 11/5/25; Media Matters, 9/14/23; Charisma Media, 5/16/25; Right Wing Watch, 4/21/23, 2/11/26]
    • Daystar shared Trump’s post of Clement’s 2007 video and declared that it is “celebrating how this specific word spoken years ago has now come to pass.” The outlet, which hosts several shows that analyze current events in the context of biblical prophecy, posted on Facebook: “President Trump just shared this prophecy from 2007 by Kim Clement that predicted his current political role.” [Facebook, 3/9/26; Daystar, accessed 3/10/26, accessed 3/10/26, accessed 3/12/26; Media Matters, 3/18/21]
    • Clement's daughter Donné Clement Petruska, who still promotes his prophecies on social media and in Christian media, posted on Facebook: “Words spoken years ago by Kim Clement are now being seen again by millions around the world.” She shared links to where other supposed prophecies can be heard and wrote: “These prophecies about leadership, nations, and the future are spreading rapidly online. If you want to hear the full prophecies and original messages, make sure you follow the official Kim Clement and House of Destiny channels below.” Clement Petruska has appeared on ElijahStreams, an online streaming outlet that hosts “prophets,” to discuss her father’s past prophecies, which she argues are still relevant to world events.

  • Trump has seemingly embraced Christian nationalist rhetoric and “prophetic” media in the past

    • Trump has pushed Christian nationalist rhetoric that he was anointed or chosen by God to wage so-called “spiritual warfare” against “demonic” Democrats. Some legacy media outlets highlighted this pattern during the 2024 campaign, with The Associated Press reporting that Trump was promoting “a hard-right Christian worldview that paints the election as ‘spiritual warfare’ against Democrats,” and Reuters noting the view in Christian media “that Trump has been anointed by God.” In the closing weeks of the 2024 election, Trump himself accused Democrats of being “demonic” and “fighting so hard to steal this damn thing.” During his second inaugural address, Trump echoed the narrative — prominent among Christian nationalists — that he was chosen by God when referenced the failed assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, declaring that he had been “saved by God to make America great again.” [BBC, 11/16/24; Reuters, 3/22/24; The Associated Press, 10/20/24; Financial Times, 11/5/24; Media Matters, 10/4/24, 10/15/25; WhiteHouse.gov, 1/20/25]
    • In the years he was out of office and during the 2024 campaign, Trump embraced prophetic and Christian nationalist media. Trump appeared on FlashPoint at least 7 times while he was out of office between 2021 and the end of 2024, telling the show’s host, “We’re with you 1,000%.” In the closing weeks of the 2024 election, Trump scheduled an event that he headlined with Christian “prophets.” Eric Trump’s close ally Clay Clark — who co-founded the ReAwaken America tour that is reportedly “a petri dish for Christian nationalism” — even bragged in 2023 that “Trump’s inner circle is embracing the prophets.” [Media Matters, 5/30/24, 9/13/24, 10/18/24; PBS, 10/7/22]
    • During his second term, Trump has appointed right-wing Christian media figures as advisers, commission members, and advisery board members. Trump created a White House Faith Office and appointed right-wing televangelist Paula White-Cain, reportedly a prominent figure in the NAR movement, as senior adviser. Under the headline “White House of Worship: Trump Elevates Christian Prayer and Power,” The New York Times noted last April that “many of the leaders the faith office has invited to the White House are charismatic Christians,” reporting that “senior administration officials and allied pastors are infusing their brand of Christian worship into the workings of the White House itself.” Trump also created a Religious Liberty Commission and related advisory boards that are made up in part with prophetic media figures, including White-Cain and FlashPoint host Gene Bailey.
