As President Donald Trump promised to unleash 'fire and fury' on North Korea,  a slightly-built, bearded TV evangelist bragged of his recent visit to the White House and warned of an up-coming ' nuclear winter .' Jim Bakker's studio audience whooped and cheered – before reaching deep into their pockets to buy 'Staying Alive' food - buckets full of freeze- dried products apparently capable of sustaining survivors through the Apocalypse.
