MAGA 'Prophet' Explains Predicting 'Not Guilty' Verdict for Donald Trump

A self-described prophet who is a part of Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement explained to her fans on Friday why she falsely predicted a "not guilty" verdict for the former president in his Manhattan criminal trial.

In a case brought forward by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a New York jury on Thursday found Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump's then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election. Daniels alleged she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. Trump has maintained his innocence and says the case is politically motivated. His legal team says they will fight the case, which will include an appeal if necessary.

Earlier this week, Pastor Julie Green, of the Iowa-based Julie Green Ministries International, predicted on her livestream on the conservative platform Rumble that Trump would be found "innocent."

"Breaking news will be heard that will rattle the enemy's camp: Innocent," Green said she was told by God. "This ruling will be heard. The case has fallen apart. Their last-ditch effort did not work for President Trump. They cannot put him in jail now as the last indictment falls apart. Watch how things dramatically take place to stop your election."

When Trump was found guilty, Green then doubled down and explained why the prophecy she claims was given by God was actually still right.

Referring to God, Green said on her livestream on Friday: "He says there will be no guilty verdict because there's no crime. He will not do any time behind their bars in their prisons. No, they will not get what they wanted. No not at all."

She added: "You could say, 'Well that's not true because there was a guilty verdict.' Look, he says there will be no guilty verdict. Because when somebody is exonerated it's like it never existed in the first place."

The pastor then seems to allude to claims from Trump that President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory was stolen from him. There is no evidence to support such claims.

"You can have a fake inauguration. Doesn't mean that person in that place is a real president. You can have a fake king to be coronated. Doesn't mean he's actually king. You can have a fake verdict. It doesn't mean that person is actually guilty, at all," Green said.

Newsweek has reached out to Green via online form for comment.

Other prophecies she has shared via "Julie Green Ministries International" channels have included false claims that Biden has covered up killings in the White House and that the United States would be attacked for the "persecution" of Trump.

Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of liberal news outlet MeidasTouch, posted a clip Friday of Green's recent livestream on X, formerly Twitter, which was met with mockery by other users.

"If she was really a 'prophet' God would tell her to get immediate therapy," X user Hoodlum, who has 198,400 followers, wrote.

Steve Martin, an X user with 79,800 followers, commented: "The freight train jumped the track."

"The lord works in mysterious ways," said an X user who goes by the username Lynda hates GOP thugs with 77,500 followers, wrote.
