The White House | President Trump's Q&A with Religion News Service
The following Q&A was part of a written interview with President Trump for Religion News Service. His answers appear in full below.
1. Last week you gave reference to thanking God that you had COVID. What did you learn spiritually during your COVID experience?
It was amazing to see so many great Americans who reached out and said they were praying for me and my family. This country is full of wonderful people with strong faith in God. Melania and I felt the prayers of Americans from all across the country – and even around the world. When I was at Walter Reed, I said, "There were miracles coming down from heaven." I meant it – Melania and I are very thankful to God for looking out for our family and returning us to good health.
2. You are regularly associated with influential Evangelical leaders (i.e. Paula White, Jack Graham, Franklin Graham) what have you learned from them spiritually?
I am honored to work with many Americans of faith, including our great Vice President Mike Pence, Faith Advisor Paula White, and so many others. These people truly love our country and love God. I hear and listen to them. Earlier this month, Franklin Graham and some other great faith leaders came to the Oval Office to pray for me and our country as they often do. These amazing people love the U.S.A. and have a genuine desire to work together for the betterment of all Americans. These leaders are passionate about America's traditional values and want our churches to be open. I appreciate their prayers and am encouraged by their great faith.

From one of the world's largest universities to Hollywood's most prolific television producer to America's largest communities of faith to multiple presidential candidates and a multi-billion-dollar financial services firm, Johnnie Moore has been America's go-to communications strategist when the stakes are high and the mission is critical.
Johnnie Moore founded KAIROS after running public relations across multiple sectors including higher education, entertainment, and politics. He has worked with every major print, digital and broadcast outlet in North America and has extensive experience in more than 50 countries around the world.
He began his career at the 100,000-student Liberty University where he served as the school's Senior Vice President for Communications during the time when Liberty University added more than 75,000 students to its annual enrollment and added more than $1.2 billion to its endowment and cash reserves. After a dozen years at Liberty University, and before founding KAIROS, Moore was personally recruited by Emmy award-winning mega-producer Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "Shark Tank," "The Voice," "Celebrity Apprentice") to serve as Chief of Staff and Vice President of Faith Content for his United Artists Media Group (an MGM company).
Rev. Johnnie Moore is also a member of clergy. As a noted evangelical Christian leader he is best known for his consequential work at the intersection of faith and foreign policy in the Middle East. In 2020, he was named one of America's ten most influential religious leaders, he is the President of The Congress of Christian Leaders, serves on ADL's "task force for Middle East minorities," and is the youngest-ever recipient of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's prestigious "medal of valor" for his efforts rescuing Christians from ISIS in 2015. He is also a Commissioner on the bipartisan U.S. Commission for International Religious Freedom, appointed by the President of the United States.
