The Trump Prophecy 2018

Mark Taylor, Chris Nelson, is a devout American Christian firefighter who, in 2005, carries a dead young boy out of a crackhouse fire. His wife, Mary Jo Taylor, Karen Boles, works as a fire dispatcher. The traumatic rescue leaves him with fever dreams, and his doctor, Todd McLaren as the Family Doctor, diagnoses him with post-traumatic stress disorder. Mark stops taking his prescribed medication and retires from the firefighting job, hoping the quiet life will ease the turmoil.

For the next six years, Mark’s life spirals as his PTSD deepens into hypersomnia and dark nightmares. He imagines being held by a fire demon from hell, Beast/Pops, portrayed by Durrell Nelson. To numb the pain, he watches television and withdraws from everyday life. Mary Jo notices the changes and prays to God for a cure. Her faith seems to spark a strange turn of events: Mark dreams of a glowing orb that unleashes a surge of electrical energy onto him.

You’re hearing the voice of president [sic].

As the 2012 election looms and then the 2016 campaign heats up, Mark’s wife amplifies the sense that a divine plan is at work. She compiles and shares his writings with the couple’s circle, turning his visions into a nationwide prayer effort. The plan expands into a coordinated network that uses phone calls and a ceremonial instrument, a shofar, to increase the perceived likelihood of a specific political outcome. The effort garners attention as Trump’s name becomes a focus of the prayers, even as mainstream outlets report skepticism about the odds.

The fervent activity draws formal involvement from the medical and spiritual sides of Mark’s life. He revisits the thoughts in his writings with his doctor and with Dr. Don Colbert, Don Brooks, and with Mary Colbert, Paulette Todd. The combined faith and resolve culminate in a controversial belief that Trump’s victory will relieve Mark of his torment and prove the power of prayer.

Ultimately, the movie portrays a world watching as a controversial miracle unfolds: Trump wins the presidency, and Mary Jo’s prayer chain reverberates across the globe, inspiring new prayer groups in places like Israel. The narrative closes with interviews featuring a panel of world leaders and outspoken conservative evangelicals, reflecting on faith, politics, and the idea that prayer can influence world events. The film invites contemplation of how personal trauma, belief, and public life intersect in a moment of national awakening.
