"Since the election there's been a lot of discussion as to how Donald Trump won the election,” AL.com reported Graham as saying. “I believe it was God. God showed up. He answered the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people across this land that have been praying for this country."

But I think we need to be very specific about how we pray. We should pray like Psalms 109:8 says. It says, “Let his days be few, and let another have his office.”

The Graham clan has bilked so many people out of so much money, going back to when I was a little kid in the 1950s.

Franklin Graham is an idiot and I don't think his opinions are worth anything.
