Former Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann was a guest on Jan Markell's "Understanding The Times" radio program this weekend, where she couldn't stop gushing about President Trump and his supposed deep commitment to God and prayer.
Bachmann claimed that, since the inauguration,Trump has been "working nonstop, 70 days in a row, [he] hasn't taken a day off" as part of his effort to make America great again and to take a stand for God.
"He is unashamed in standing up for increasing an awareness of God in the United States," she said. "He recognizes how important that is and that that is a basis of Western civilization ... As a believer in Jesus Christ, I could not be more happy with what I am seeing coming out of the Trump White House. This is beyond my wildest expectations."
"The president himself is man of prayer and man who loves to receive prayer," she cooed. "He is a man who, I do believe, understands who the God of the Bible is and he wants to lift up the God of the Bible here in the United States ... The Lord is working mightily in our government and I believe it is because God is being reverenced, God is being lifted up. Prayer is not foreign in the White House, it's not foreign in the Executive Office Building; looking to God, looking through Bible studies, this is not foreign anymore."
Bachmann said that Trump deserves all the credit because "he is somebody who gets the fact that the God of the Bible is, He is, He exists, He is real ... This president is very bold about the need for God in our country."
Bachmann was among those who met with Trump in the Oval Office recently, where she said they were able to present "the faith perspective voice" to him and explain that enacting public policies based on biblical principles will "be the best for America."
"I'm shocked at how happy I've been with what I've seen so far," she said. "I really believe that it's because of prayer. I totally believe it's based on prayer. He's president because of prayer, the advances we've seen are based on prayer and I think, going forward, that is what we need."
