A video of a Christian comedian impersonating Donald Trump as a church youth worker has reached 4.5 million views on Facebook.
Georgia-based stand-up Ed Wiley brands himself as a 'clean' comic and regularly performs at churches, clubs, corporate and charitable events.
He says in the video: "I'm going to be, quite frankly, the best youth pastor.
"I know more about youth, than youth know about youth."
One fan commented on Facebook: "I'm a Trump fan and this was done with great taste of comedy. Not offensive at all."
Another person was less happy, saying: "Completely inappropriate in church. So it's ok now to make fun of the man that God Himself put into office. I didn't see anything like that with Obama."
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
