Pro-Trump Prophets Take a Victory Lap After Being Wrong for Four Years

MAGA evangelical pastors and “prophets” are taking a victory lap celebration for predicting a second Donald Trump term after being wrong for the past four years.

Evangelicals who had said that Donald Trump would win a second term are telling their followers they were right all along, despite the fact that he lost the 2020 election. Trump won both the popular vote and the Electoral College last week when he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris.

Many of these evangelicals have recirculated old videos that show them saying the Lord informed them Trump would become president again. They also say that just because two Trump administrations are separated by Joe Biden’s presidency does not negate the fact that Trump will serve a total of eight years in the White House. Some of them had previously argued that Trump won in 2020 but that the election was stolen, which is why they think their prophecies still held true then.

Here’s what each of them have said in the wake of the 2024 election:

Hank Kunneman

Kunneman, a pastor from Omaha, Nebraska, and founder of One Voice Ministries, argued that a seven-year-old prophecy he made came true last week after Trump won the presidency.

In an Instagram post quoting his earlier prophecies, Kunneman recirculated a message from December 2017 that said of Trump, “There shall come against them one victory after victory after victory as things have begun to shift now for this president.”

“God’s not done with the United States of America and He’s not done with President Donald Trump!” the pastor wrote in the caption.

Before the 2020 vote, Kunneman predicted that Trump would win reelection. When that did not happen, he argued that it was because God wanted to make it look as if pro-Trump prophets were wrong.

“It’s to make it look like the prophets miss it and for them to have petitions. And it’s to expose, but it’s to bring forth something at the exact time that will be part of the fulfillment of God,” he said in June 2021.

Kunneman also guaranteed his followers that after Trump won the 2020 election former Vice President Mike Pence would be elected in 2024.

Charlie Shamp

In the wake of this month’s election, Shamp, a prophet based in North Carolina, has recirculated two prophecies that he says were vindicated after Trump’s victory last week.

One video, which features a segment from November 2020, shows Shamp saying that “President Trump will have a second term. He will be in the White House for two terms.” Another video, dating back to August 2019, shows Shamp discussing how he allegedly received word from “the Lord” in 2017 that Harris “will be used by the left as a pawn to try to trump President Trump.”

“The Lord spoke to me and said if the church will pray, if the church will pray, that the enemy will be exposed and she will not be able to take over,” he said.

Johnny Enlow

Enlow, a prophet based in Nashville, Tennessee, discussed his long-held belief that Trump would win the White House in a November 6 livestream of “Johnny Enlow Unfiltered.” He said that while he was excited about the election’s outcome “it wasn’t like I went euphoric” because he had already anticipated a second Trump term.

“You’re euphoric when you don’t really know and you haven’t believed what the Lord’s been telling you,” Enlow said. “I’ve been believing.”

“I know some people bristle when we say this is [Trump’s] third term. It’s like, ‘No, he lost the second term.’ And number one, he didn’t. It was massive fraud. It’s come out in so many ways for anybody paying any attention,” he said.

He went on: “I want to explain something: Why we would say that this last four-year period of Trump has been him in power. And it’s been him in power not as a traditional president but him in power as in given authority on the mountain of government by God.”

Comparing what was achieved during the first Trump administration and what happened in the past four years, “there was much more substantive, definitive, long-term, important things accomplished either directly through him or his influence on the mountain of government” after he left the White House, Enlow said.

Lance Wallnau

Wallnau is credited with being the first prophet to predict that Trump would win the White House, declaring on December 30, 2015, that he was “anointed” to become the next president. In the years since, he has served as one of the most vocal Trump supporters within the conservative Christian movement.

The celebrity evangelical reminded his followers about his predictions during his election night livestream, saying that Trump’s presidency is a part of God’s plan to usher in a new era of Christianity.

God has “given permission to take it right to the White House,” Wallnau said.

Dutch Sheets

Sheets, a self-described apostle, told his followers in a video after the election that Trump’s win would lead to the “Third Great Awakening,” which might “take some time but would eventually come.”

“Trump is a necessary part of this reformation,” Sheets said.

Sheets, who predicted Trump would win in 2020, said “it had to happen this way” because a victory four years ago might have brought challenges to Trump from congressional Democrats.

“We don’t always know God’s plans. He reserves the right not to tell us in advance, but we trust him,” he said. “Several prophetic voices told me afterward, however, that every prayer would be answered. Just not when we assumed. God knows what he’s doing.”

Sean Feucht

Feucht, a Christian songwriter and former worship leader who attended Trump’s election night party in West Palm Beach, Florida, suggested that MAGA pastors who apologized for being wrong about a second Trump term after the 2020 election should “apologize again” after the 2024 election—this time for prematurely admitting their prophecies were wrong.

“Is that how it works now?” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Feucht also offered a “prophetic take” that Wisconsin was meant to be the state that carried Trump to 270 electoral votes because it was the same state where Harris told a rallygoer who shouted “Jesus is lord” that he was at the wrong event.

Greg Locke

Locke, a controversial pastor from Tennessee, celebrated Trump’s victory on X, telling his followers that the results could be recounted a thousand times and “each time will show more support for Trump than they anticipated.”

“It was a crushing monumental landslide,” Locke said. “If we had strict voter ID, the ‘blue’ states would have been flipped red. It’s just a fact. People are tired of woke and broke.”

Locke previously predicted that Trump would win the 2020 election. Six months after that race, he insisted he was not wrong, telling his congregants in a fiery speech that Trump was not in the White House only because it was stolen from him.

“If I predict that your team is going to win and you do but the opposing coach breaks into your house in the middle of the night and steals your trophy, that ain’t on me. That don’t make me false. That makes them liars and crooks. Amen. That’s what it makes them,” Locke said in April 2021.

Julie Green

Green, a MAGA prophet, released a video titled “Prophecies Fulfilled—The Return of My David” on Rumble two days after the election.

“No matter what the enemies have planned for the year of 2024, no matter what they do, no matter what they try, they will not have their way,” Green is heard narrating in the beginning of the video. It plays over screenshots of headlines about the two assassination attempts against Trump.

The video continues with other clips from her prophecies over the past two years, including one from this past July in which she said, “There’s no chance to stop my David. He is coming back to the seat of the president.”
