Franklin Graham praises Trump admin's response to deadly Burma earthquake: 'Very generous'

As Samaritan’s Purse races to provide aid in earthquake-ravaged Myanmar, Rev. Franklin Graham shares powerful words on God’s protection over President Trump.

"President Trump is not against aid. He supports aid, but he does not support waste," Graham continued. "And that’s what’s happened in some of these cases in the past—our government has wasted too much money. But I think the president will be very generous."

Graham also reflected on the president’s personal trials. "I believe God saved his life," he said, referencing the assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. "And the president believes that—he says that. So we need to pray for him. There are many people that would like to see harm come to him. So we just need to pray for God’s continued protection and hand on President Trump."

Samaritan’s Purse has already begun surgical operations in Naypyidaw, the capital city of Burma, which lies between Yangon and Mandalay and is among the areas most severely impacted. The organization is operating out of a soccer stadium provided by the Burmese government, which has also granted full cooperation, including visa approvals and facility access.
