Joel Osteen calls Donald Trump an 'incredible communicator' and a 'good man'

Senior Pastor of Lakewood Church, Joel Osteen, is garnering a lot of attention for his words of support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a recent radio interview. However, the interview was conducted back in October 2015.

While promoting his latest book The Power of I Am: Two Words That Will Change Your Life Today, Osteen stopped by Fox News Radio’s Kilmeade & Friends and seemed to give a Trump endorsement.

Osteen did admit he’s not “up to speed” on the current political landscape, but he only had positive words to lend Trump and his presidential campaign. He called Trump an “incredible communicator and brander,” adding, “He’s been a friend of our ministry and he’s a good man.”

Two public figures who have opposed Trump’s views in recent days and would disagree with those statements are John Legend, who called Trump “racist” on March 11, and Humans of New York founder Brandon Stanton, who called him “hateful” in an open letter on March 14.
