Donald Trump has claimed that Evangelical Christian churches are experiencing a revival thanks largely to him and his never-ending war with the media and the Democrats.
For once, we actually wish that he hadn't have said this but it is in fact true.
During a press conference outside the White House, or as Stephen Colbert has dubbed it; 'chopper talk,' Trump claimed that some of the biggest pastors in the US have thanked him for revitalising the religion.
