Paula White — Donald Trump's personal spiritual advisor and one of the most influential figures in his faith circle — has called on every American to donate 10 percent of their gross income to Israel at a moment when millions of families across this country are making daily decisions between medication, rent and food.The request frames financial support for Israel as a spiritual obligation rooted in biblical tithing principles — asking ordinary Americans to redirect a tenth of everything they earn before taxes to a foreign government while the cost of living crisis at home remains unresolved and worsening.The timing could not be more disconnected from the economic reality facing working Americans. Gas prices have surged $1.5 billion extra per week since Operation Epic Fury began. The Iran war is costing $1 billion per day. Food insecurity affects tens of millions. Housing remains unaffordable for a generation of Americans who cannot find stable ground regardless of how hard they work.A spiritual advisor with direct access to the president asking struggling Americans to tithe to a foreign nation while their own families go without represents a collision between religious fundraising and economic desperation that millions of people are finding impossible to accept quietly.
