Trump’s Inner Circle Breaks Silence on Spiritual Warfare in the White House
In a bold acknowledgment of the spiritual battles taking place in today’s political landscape, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said she has witnessed “spiritual warfare” firsthand while serving alongside President Donald Trump. Her comments highlight what many Christians believe: that the real conflict facing the nation goes beyond politics and policy and into the unseen realm of spiritual forces.
In a recent interview, Leavitt told CBN, “I certainly believe in spiritual warfare. And I think I saw it firsthand, especially throughout the campaign trail with President Trump.” She added, “I think there certainly were evil forces. And I think that the president was saved by the grace of God on July 13, in Butler, Pennsylvania, and he’s in this moment for a reason.”

Trump himself echoed that sentiment during his second inaugural address: “An assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again.”
The Bible is clear that spiritual warfare is not to be taken lightly — and it outlines specific instructions for how Christians are to fight it. James 4:7 offers a battle plan: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The first step in engaging spiritual warfare is not confrontation, but surrender — placing oneself under the authority of God. Victory over the enemy flows not from human strength, but from obedience, faith, and spiritual discipline.
Leavitt, who became a mother just days before the near-assassination of President Trump, shared how her faith has been her foundation through these tumultuous times. “My faith is incredibly important to me, I would argue, now more than ever… with faith, all things are possible,” she said.
Though she has faced setbacks in her personal and political journey, including a failed congressional bid in 2022, Leavitt remains grounded. “God has a plan for everyone, I believe that firmly,” she said. “So God knew what He was doing… and stay grounded in your faith throughout the way.”
In times of upheaval, the spiritual dimension is often overlooked. But for Christians, Leavitt’s words serve as a call to arms — not with swords or slogans, but with humble submission to God, fervent prayer and steadfast resistance to the enemy. As Scripture promises, when believers do so, the devil will not stand — he will flee.
