Former U.S. President and Republican frontrunner for the upcoming presidential election, Donald J. Trump, has made headlines once again—this time with a spiritual declaration that has captured widespread attention. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Trump shared a prayer invoking the protection of Saint Michael the Archangel, traditionally known as the defender of good against the forces of evil.
In his post, Trump quoted the powerful prayer:
“Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”
This unexpected spiritual statement comes as Trump continues his aggressive campaign for a second term in the White House, facing mounting political and legal challenges. By invoking Saint Michael, Trump may be signaling a call to arms for his supporters, framing the upcoming election as not just a political contest but a spiritual battle between good and evil.
The prayer’s timing is significant, with political analysts speculating that Trump is aligning his message with the conservative Christian base, which has long been a cornerstone of his support. Trump’s public use of a prayer known for its emphasis on divine protection and moral righteousness may resonate deeply with voters who see him as a defender of traditional values and a bulwark against what they perceive as societal decay.
Trump’s latest declaration adds yet another dimension to his already highly charged campaign, reinforcing his role as a polarizing figure who continues to blend faith, politics, and populism in his quest for re-election. Whether this message will galvanize or divide the electorate remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Trump’s bid for the presidency is more than just a political fight—it’s a battle he sees as spiritual, too.
