White House press secretary Sarah Sanders has told a religious television network that God “wanted Donald Trump to become president”.
Ms Sanders made the claim in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), saying it was the reason Mr Trump was in office.
The press secretary also said it was “very hard” to take morality lessons from the Democratic Party.
Democrats have attacked Mr Trump’s proposed border wall as immoral.
US evangelicals strongly support the president.
The Washington Post reports Mr Trump won 80% of the evangelical vote in 2016, a higher share than Republican presidential candidates
