Paula White Kane considers her role as a senior advisor and director at the White House Face Office as a direct call from God.
“Many people know I have been involved with President Trump and his family for over 24 years,” she said. “As we saw, there is a rapid deterioration of our country’s religious freedom, moral fabric, so strong belief.”
White Cain cited the FBI claims investigating the Catholic Church, the pro-leifer restrictions, and the fight claims of Coach Joe Kennedy praying on the 50-yard line as examples of such prejudice.
“We’re in trouble, but that’s just the beginning,” she said. “There was a lot of targeted discrimination.”
As for why Whitekane believes that some citizens do not recognize the extent of the threat to religious freedom, she says that too many people are “built in the sand” their heads. Listen to her description:
“I think we sometimes have this very narrow tunnel vision, and I don’t think it has a direct effect on us, but it does,” she said. “Whether they believe it or not, politics is in their lives, because it is much easier for them to zone than their faith, if they can zone, if that church can have nursery, if they can go to church, if they want to adopt a child or engage in foster parents, if they have control and regulations, it is much easier for them to zone than those of faith.
She insisted that even if people thought it was safe from such interactions, she really wasn’t. Despite the need to sound these alarms, the White House faith leader said she was encouraged.
Whitekane believes Trump’s reelection shows that many people feel “enough is enough.” All of this supports her own decision to jump into the driver’s seat at the White House Face office.
“Why did I sign up? I was given to this guy who understands the importance of faith that I am in this amazing president, this amazing president, the first ever, newly created, historic White House faith office, and this guy who can fight for people, whether they are on the streets, homeless, or they are CEOs and whether they are targeted for their faith or not,” he said. “And the greatest thing we do – we have eight different doctrines here, but the biggest thing for me is religious freedom. That is that every human being on this planet has the right to approach God and worship him.”
White Kane recounted how he met Trump when he randomly called her office 24 years ago.
Ironically, White Kane had already put some famous people on her prayer list, and Trump was one of the names that came to her heart long before that call.

“So he calls me, calls me, says, “You have a ‘that’ factor,” she recalled. “I said, ‘Oh, we call it anointing.’ ”
Trump then referenced a series that White Kane preached in her church, showing that he was familiar with her idyllic work. After that call, the two met in New York, and after that friendship began to flourish.
Over the years, Whitekane said he has come to make a commitment to “not take the dime out of him.” She continues this tradition in her role in the White House, where she says she refuses to take a salary.
“I was maintaining a covenant with God,” Whitekane said. “I’ve never received a dime from President Trump. I’m not taking a penny here… because I’m connected to President Trump.”
A few years before Trump’s 2016 presidential victory, he spoke to White Kane and told her he wasn’t a fan of how the country was moving.
“And he said, “I’m thinking about running for president. What do you think?” she recalled. “I told him what I thought, and he turned around and said, “What is God saying?”
Whitekane told Trump that she needed to take it to pray, and she took 30 pastors to Trump Tower in New York City, where they prayed for six and a half hours. Trump went in and out of meetings all day, pondering what the Lord was saying to the group.
“I saw him…and then I said, ‘You’re going to be president, but I hate the price you’re going to pay,'” she said.
But Whitekane said the assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania, was the toughest price Trump believed to have encountered last year. The president’s advisor got emotional as he spoke about where she was when he heard that Trump had been shot dead.
“I just said, ‘We have to pray,'” she said. “No one knew what was going on. If he was dead, if he was alive.”
Whitekane called to see what was going on in real time as the event was clearly having a big impact on her. She was relieved when she learned that he had survived.
Ultimately, White Kane believes the assassination attempt had a profound effect on the president.
“He knows without a doubt that God saved him, and as I do, he saves him for his purpose and believes that he is now fulfilling that purpose,” she said.
