Donald Trump's fan reveals she prayed for his 2016 election win
Donald Trump answered questions from the audience during the event when a woman told Trump, "The last thing I wanted to say is my hardest job is not running three businesses. It’s actually being a mom to a daughter that’s here today."
She added, "She is not in school today and she asked that she could be here and she could see you. I’m doing everything that I can to try to give her the truth every day."
She went on to explain, "I just wanted to say, and I told you that, eight years ago when you were running and she was just eight years old then, every night she would go to bed, and I would kneel on the floor next to her bed and we would pray every single night for you."
She also added, "Every night she would speak out to God, and she would say, 'Dear God, please let Mr. Trump win, please.'"
She explained that her daughter could not stay up to watch the election results in 2016, but when the race was won by Trump, she woke her daughter and gave her the good news.
She said, "But at two o'clock in the morning when we finally knew that you had won, I went into her bedroom. I scooped her up out of her sound sleep, and I was literally – tears pouring down – and I said, 'Baby, Mr. Trump won. Baby, He won. He won'. And she said, 'Thank you, God. Thank you, God.'"
The fan concluded, "So she is here with us today. And I just wanted to let you know that we are still praying for you."
