Lord have mercy! Barron Trump is one of the most private kids in America his dad happens to be the President. His personal faith journey deserves respect, not exploitation. Pastor Stuart Knechtle namping dropping him for clout is cheap and wrong. pic.twitter.com/O2DZDc9ia6

“I thought I was hitting him with everything but the kitchen sink when it came to all the evidence for God and Christianity,” Knechtle said on the podcast.

“I thought I was really on, I was pumped,” the pastor said. “And at the very end, I came up pretty much totally open-handed with nothing. But I brought up dreams and revelations.”

Now, Melania Trump is reportedly unhappy with the reports.

According to OK Magazine, Melania feels “betrayed” by the reports.

“Insiders are claiming the first lady was left livid by the religious MAGA influencer after he revealed during a spiritual podcast discussion that Barron is ‘very close to putting his faith in Christ,'” the OK report said.

“Melania has always stressed discretion. She believes her family’s private life is sacred. This? It’s a betrayal,” the report said. “Melania exploded when she heard about it. This isn’t just disappointment — it’s fury.”

“This isn’t about politics or religion. It’s about trust. She has always tried to shield him from the spotlight,” another source said of the First Lady’s reaction.

“Melania’s circle is circulating reminders about confidentiality. Everyone who works with the family knows: leaks will not be tolerated. Barron’s moment might have been innocent, but the betrayal? Devastating,” a White House aide said, per the report.

While Barron Trump occasionally appears at the White House and in other places where his parents are, he is not known for ever speaking publicly.

As for Donald Trump, he has historically shown little interest in any type of traditional religious morality, although he’s always been willing to go along with the Christian Right’s political agendas.
