God and politics.

That's all it took to send Twitter into a tizzy.

A website reported that Creflo Dollar, pastor and founder of World Changers Church International, said God told him to endorse Donald Trump for president. That was picked up by others.

Not so fast. It seems Dollar "never endorses candidates" said spokesman Vic Bolton. "Never has."

On his Facebook page, Dollar posted this statement:

“Any reports stating that I have endorsed Donald Trump for President are false. At World Changers Church International, I nor the ministry endorse any political party or candidate; nor do we advise our members who to vote for. Any claims or statements claiming otherwise are false. This rumor originated on a satirical website and is 100% untrue.”

Can candidates attend services? Why sure.

Has Trump asked about coming to World Changers? Bolton said the businessman-turned-politician has not reached out.

Trump, though, has gained a lot of support from many evangelicals.

He’s also invited African American voters to cast their ballots from him. He said they are being left out of good jobs, education and have to deal with out-of-control violence.

In fact, he’s said more than once “what do you have to lose?”

Trump has reportedly planned a meeting this week with African-American and Latino activists as part of outreach efforts to those communities, reports Yahoo! News.
