BLUE EYE, MO - Squashing accusations that President Trump had a sexual encounter with porn star "Stormy Daniels" while he was married to Melania, televangelist Jim Bakker explained to his audience Friday that he had confirmed that Trump was merely scheduling private time with the woman in a hotel suite in order to share with her the good news of Jesus Christ, as he had become acquainted with her and was very concerned that she was not a Christian.

"It is preposterous to assert that a virtuous believer like Mr. Trump would cheat on his beautiful wife so callously, and while their child was only months old," a solemn Bakker said into the camera as colorful balloons provided a backdrop for some reason. "He was so concerned with the eternal state of Miss Daniels' soul that he scheduled some alone time with just the two of them, so he could share with her how Jesus Christ had changed his life and how He could also save her from her sins."

Nearly choking up with tears, Bakker went on to explain how much he loves and looks up to Trump as a model saint.

"Our president even arranged through his attorney to give this woman $130,000 in an attempt to help rescue her from the destructive adult film industry and get her life back on track. What a man of God!"

The televangelist ended his broadcast by wagering that there were probably "many, many more" sex-industry workers like Daniels who could tell a similarly inspiring story about President Trump.
