In February 2020, Snopes readers inquired whether the above-displayed meme correctly attributed a quote to televangelist Jim Bakker. The quote can be traced back to a Feb. 12 Business Standard News article positing that Bakker described a dream he had in which he saw a succession of family members of U.S. President Donald Trump occupying the White House: This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: The Business Standard News is a satirical site designed to parody the 24-hour news cycle. The stories are outlandish, but reality is so strange nowadays they could be true. The above-displayed meme carried no such disclaimer, prompting some to question whether Bakker had indeed made the remark. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
