Former President Donald Trump has gruesome rhetorical staples he likes to deploy at his political rallies, including homicidal sharks, bird-killing windmills and Hannibal Lecter. Amid the litany, one less morbid aside tends to escape notice.
“Those beautiful ladies from North Carolina are here again without their husbands,” Trump observed at a rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on September 9, veering off from a rant about the 2020 election. He gestured toward the rafters and a row of a dozen impeccably coifed women in brightly colored pantsuits, as if they had wandered in from an Easter gala.

As church leaders have acknowledged in legal proceedings, Word of Faith relies on a practice known as “strong” or “blasting” prayer.

Church officials say this characterization is overstated, NYT News Service reported.
