Reality Presidents show turns blasphemous...

US President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration is set to include prayers from two preachers known for teaching prosperity theology - the belief that faith will make you richer, it was announced on Wednesday (28 December).

Chairman of the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Tom Barrack, said in a statement that "a diverse set of faith leaders will offer readings and prayers at the swearing-in of President-elect Trump and honour the vital role religious faith plays in our multicultural, vibrant nation".
The Associated Press report that two of the announced spiritual leaders, Pastor Paula White and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, will be the first prosperity preachers to be part of a presidential inauguration.

Televangelist, Paula White is known to be a friend of Trump and has previously been investigated by the Senate Finance Committee over the sect's spending, - an investigation that ended in 2011 without penalty

I have not watched either of the two mentioned. I did used to watch Jim Bakker (sp) and Tammy Faye for the shear high quality entertainment of the television production. I will not be watching any of this.
