The Trump Prophecy film propagates theory God had Trump elected

A film playing in more than 1000 US cinemas claims to be based on the "actual events" of a man being told directly by God that Donald Trump would win the 2016 presidential election.

Mark Taylor, the former firefighter whose divine claims the film is based on, also claims God has told him Barack Obama will be charged with treason and that Trump will instigate the arrest of "thousands of corrupt officials, many of whom are part of a massive satanic paedophile ring".

He also claims God says the former Celebrity Apprentice host will unlock the cures for cancer and Alzheimer's.

The Trump Prophecy is being screened in theatres across the US on two dates this week, although it's said to be getting a wider release if there is demand.

The film's trailer includes literal fake news - fake newspapers with fake headlines and random Lorem ipsum text.

Taylor released a book based on his alleged conversations with God in April, 2017, entitled The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next.

The book and film are said to recount Taylor's story of suffering Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in April 2011, which saw him beset by visions of demons, fire and death.

When he saw reality TV star, real estate heir and infamous philanderer Trump speaking on TV, he says God declared to him: "You are hearing the voice of the next president."

"Little did Mark know several dozen video recordings of others documented that they also got the same message and were equally convinced it came from God," says the film's official website.

Taylor's other so-called "prophetic words" include abortion being made illegal in the US again and the Republican party winning next month's midterm US elections.

The Trump Prophecy  was produced in co-operation with the film department of Liberty University, which caused some students to launch a petition in protest.

"This movie could reflect very poorly on all Liberty students and Liberty University as a whole," the petition states.

"We should be very wary of modern-day prophets. Mark Taylor has claimed God told him that electing Trump will save the world which is unbiblical at best and heretical at worst."

According to the Guardian, in one of The Trump Prophecy's first screenings at the Regal River Ridge Stadium in Lynchburg, Virginia - a conservative evangelical heartland - the cinema had "several rows of empty seats".
