‘Wow!’ Trump Thanks Man Who Prayed For God To ‘Anoint’ Trump During Hurricane Press Event: ‘You Don’t Hear That Often!’

Former President Donald Trump thanked a man who prayed to God during a press event, asking the Lord to “anoint” Trump. “Wow!” Trump exclaimed, “You don’t hear that often.”

Trump and his allies have been spreading misleading information and outright lies about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other Biden administration responses to the devastating Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, even as GOP officials have refuted the attacks.

At a press event in Asheville, North Carolina Monday afternoon, Trump continued to press those attacks as he gathered with local Republicans and businessmen who support him.

During the event, Trump supporter and local businessman Michael Stewart asked Trump if it would be okay to pray for him:

MICHAEL STEWART: I believe that you can serve as a great inspiration to this community right now. And the reason being is I think God’s given you indomitable spirit. And no matter what gets thrown at you, you find a way to press through.

And I think that’ll serve as an inspiration to this community to press on and move forward.

I can’t think of anything I’d rather have than a warrior leading our country. A warrior who, with the help of God and with faith and prayer, will lead this community, these communities and this country to greatness. So thank you for being here today. Appreciate it.

DONALD TRUMP: Come here! Come here! (HUGGING) Man, I never heard anything — that was from the heart. No speechwriter could write that. Right?

MICHAEL STEWART: If you don’t mind, just because my heart’s about to be a — Do you mind if I pray for you?

DONALD TRUMP: Yes, please.

MICHAEL STEWART: Okay, so. And all those that you that are prayers, would you join with me in this prayer?

Father, I thank you for this man that you have raised up in this moment, in this season for your purposes.

And I pray that you would anoint him, that things aren’t done just by might or by power, but by your spirit.

So I ask that you would anoint President Donald Trump and give him a spirit of wisdom and understanding and insight as he moves to lead this nation back to greatness.

In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

DONALD TRUMP: Wow! That’s something you don’t hear that often! It’s incredible. And I appreciate that. From both. And from everybody.
