Lance Wallnau: God Was Behind Oscars Snafu, Wanted To Make Trump's Enemies 'Look Foolish'

Earlier this week, right-wing preacher Lance Wallnau streamed a video on Periscope in which he claimed that the mistake in announcing the best picture winner at the Academy Awards last weekend was an example of God making the enemies of President Trump "look foolish."

"A lot of us don't watch the Academy Awards because it's so irritating with the politics," Wallnau said. "All night they're bashing Trump, all night they set up this imaginary Donald Trump figure and beat him like a pinata. And then when it comes time for them to do the best picture, they screw it up, they have the wrong envelope. Hollywood evidently knows enough to lecture the president and the rest of the country on what the president's policy should be, but they don't know enough to find their own envelopes."

"All night long they're beating up on Donald Trump and the headlines the next day [are] how screwed up the Academy Awards was," Wallnau continued. "I don't know how long this grace is going to be on Donald Trump but, I'll tell you what, there's an anointing on that guy and God literally makes his enemies look foolish."
