Trump mourns Jimmy Swaggart after televangelist dies at 90

Published



President Donald Trump on Tuesday mourned the death of Jimmy Swaggart, one of the biggest televangelists of the 1980s. He was 90 years old when he died.

Swaggart died on Tuesday, his ministry announced, thanking the staff of Baton Rouge General Medical Center for the care they gave. His son had outlined the deterioration of the televangelist’s condition, saying just two days prior that his death was a matter of “when, not if.” Trump extended his condolences to Swaggart’s family in a post on Truth Social.
