President Donald Trump isn’t merely part of prophetic fulfillment—he appears to be actively engaging with the prophetic itself.
In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump did something unexpected. He shared a video of prophetic words recorded in 2007 from the late Kim Clement which were about Trump’s future in the White House.
For many believers who follow prophetic ministry, Clement’s words have long circulated in Christian circles as a striking prediction about who would one day rise to the highest office in the United States. However, Trump’s decision to highlight the prophecy himself has renewed interest in what the late prophet said nearly two decades ago.
In the message, Clement described a moment when God would move in unusual ways within the cultural and media landscape.
“This that shall take place shall be the most unusual thing—a transfiguration, a going into the marketplace, into the news media, where Time Magazine will have no choice but to say what I want them to say. Newsweek will say what I want them to say. The View will say what I want them to say.”
The video then highlighted what would become one of Clement’s most widely quoted statements.
“Trump shall become a trumpet,” says the Lord. “Trump shall become a trumpet. I will raise up Trump to become a trumpet.”
Clement suggested that this figure would become a voice that would resonate far beyond politics. According to prophecy, the individual would be used as an instrument—like a trumpet—to sound a message that would reverberate throughout the nation.
Clement also spoke of spiritual themes surrounding leadership, prayer and transformation in office.

“It shall come to pass that the man I place in the highest office shall go in whispering My name. But God says when he enters into the office, he will be shouting out by the power of the Spirit. For I shall fill him with My Spirit when he goes into office.”
Clement also described what he believed would be a spiritual dynamic surrounding the future president—someone who would not initially appear to be a conventional religious figure.
“There will be a praying man in the highest seat in your land. There will be a praying president—not a religious one. But I will fool the people,” says the Lord.
He also addressed the criticisms and perceptions that would surround this leader.
“The one that is chosen shall go in and they shall say, ‘He has hot blood.’ For the Spirit of God says yes, he may have hot blood, but he will bring the walls of protection on this country in a greater way.”
Clement further prophesied rapid change within the nation’s economic landscape during this leadership season.
“And the economy of this country shall change rapidly,” says the Lord of hosts.
Perhaps one of the most well-known of Clement’s prophecies is about a transformation that would take place after the leader entered office.
“Listen to the word of the Lord: I will put at your helm for two terms a president that will pray. But he will not be a praying president when he starts. I will put him in office, and then I will baptize him with the Holy Spirit and My power,” says the Lord of hosts.
While prophetic words must always be tested against Scripture and discerned carefully, moments like this remind believers that God often works in ways that defy conventional expectations. Throughout the Bible, the Lord repeatedly raised up unlikely figures—from shepherds to kings—to accomplish His purposes in times of national crisis.
God’s plans rarely move according to human timelines. Yet, for those watching closely, the intersection of faith, leadership and prophecy surrounding Trump and Clement’s words serves as a reminder that heaven’s purposes can sometimes echo through the most unexpected voices—like the sounding of a trumpet calling a nation to attention.
