Forhan clearly expresses his intention to kill the current democratically elected President of the United States. Although he clarifies that he wants to do so through capital punishment as opposed to assassination, this isn’t much better. It’s also unclear what crime he hopes to accuse the President of, as the Commander in Chief hasn’t done anything to warrant the death penalty.
While Forhan’s comments are shocking enough on their own, they are, unfortunately, part of a larger trend. Many have sought the President’s life over the past few years. Intercessors will remember July of 2024 when a gunman barely missed then-former President Trump’s skull, shooting his ear on live television. And earlier this week, a librarian in West Virginia was arrested after she attempted to recruit assassins to target President Trump.
This also comes as violence has been on the rise across America. From healthcare CEOs to podcast hosts, many seem to have decided that deadly violence is an appropriate response to personal disagreements. And as President Trump continues to serve the nation, many who oppose his America First agenda have come to see assassination as a morally acceptable way to impede that agenda’s progress.
With so many threats against our President, some intercessors have felt prompted to pray. This is why we at Intercessors for America have decided to create a new prayer guide, 31 Days of Prayer for President Trump, to help guide your intercession. If you feel led to pray for the President, we encourage you to download this new prayer guide by clicking the ad above, or by clicking here.
The enemy of our souls clearly wants to remove President Trump at all costs. However, we saw God protect him in Butler, Pennsylvania, two years ago, and we believe through prayer and intercession we will see God protect him again. Throughout February and what’s left of January, let’s pray for President Trump!
