MAGA preacher says “witchcraft” caused Trump’s debate disaster

As even Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters are admitting Tuesday night’s debate performance was a trainwreck for the former president — see Megan Kelley telling Taylor Swift “eff you” in frustration over the pop star’s well-timed endorsement and salt rub — his truly fringe fans are making a case that “supernatural” intervention caused Trump’s failure.

Lance Wallnau, a Christian nationalist MAGA pastor with a history of outlandish claims — including one about the healing effects of “anointed cake” for those rejecting their homosexuality — said a figurative “kill box” orchestrated by the debate co-moderators caused woes for the twice-impeached felon last night.

It’s all part of a demonic plot to fog Christians’ brains into accepting diversity.

Wallnau is calling it “witchcraft.”

“When I say ‘witchcraft’ I am talking about what happened tonight,” Wallnau posted to X not long after what will likely be Trump’s final debate meltdown.

Wallnau witnessed “occult-empowered deception, manipulation and domination,” he testified. “That’s what ABC pulled off as moderators, and Kamala’s script handlers set up the kill box.”

In this analogy, “One-sided questions and fact-checking sealed the box. Witchcraft.”

“It’s not over yet,” Wallnau prophesied, “but something supernatural needs to disrupt this counterfeit momentum because the same public that voted in [Democratic former President Barack] Obama is voting again and her deception is advancing.”

Chanting “Beettlejuice Beetlejuice” was not among his suggestions.

In fact, Wallnau had no suggestions for stopping Trump’s late-stage decay, other than a hoped-for deus ex machina to bring new life to his tragic story.

It’s not unlike the former president’s lack of solutions for the “disaster” that he describes as America. We’re “going to hell,” the twice-impeached felon likes to say.

Speak for yourself, Mr. President.

Last month, Wallnau predicted that Harris, whom he called “demonic”, would choose Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in order to stoke national divisions over “racism and perversion.”

He said that God personally told him Harris is a 2.0 version of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, except “with an augmented heat-seeking missile capacity” to “stir up strife and civil war.” Harris casts herself as a woman against a male majority, he said, and as “a Black minority against a white majority.”

In a speech to Christian fundamentalists, Wallnau said God is helping get rid of the gays from a formerly righteous nation.

“We need to be praying for the unfinished work of the United States because America’s gotten off track,” he said. “It’s promoting lesbian transgender ideology globally. It’s putting the LGBTQ flag, even the BLM [Black Lives Matter] flag, up with our national flag. And God is taking that down.”

Wallnau’s claims over “anointed cake” involved a group of “hookers” who used to hang out at a bar whose owner was gay and “very adamantly anti-Christian.”

The sex workers baked a cake and prayed over it, Wallnau said, making it “an anointed cake.” When the bar owner ate the cake, “the power of God hit him” and he was baptized and “delivered.” The gay “spirit” inhabiting the bar owner’s body, Wallnau rejoiced, had left him.
