President Trump praised televangelist Jimmy Swaggart for his religious faith and patriotism, after the 90-year-old scandal-plagued Pentecostal preacher died Tuesday.
“He was an incredible Man of Faith and, as our Nation’s longest serving Televangelist, inspired millions with his Great Love of God and Country,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “Jimmy will be deeply missed!”
Swaggart, a Louisiana native, grew his ministry to a multi-million dollar enterprise through popular televised ministries in the 1980s, but he was caught with prostitutes multiple times — forcing him to make tearful public apologies.
His death was announced on social media Tuesday evening, following a heart attack last month.
“My dad was a warrior; my dad was preacher,” his son, Donnie Swaggart said in a video posted on Facebook. “He didn’t want to be anything else except a preacher of the gospel.”
