Addressing his congregants in a video shared on Monday, March 9, 2026, Prophet Amoako Attah predicted that the war between the US and Iran would cost Donald Trump his first son.

According to the clergyman, Trump’s son would be shot dead amid the tension between the two countries. Detailing what he saw in the vision, believed to have been inspired by God, the man of God said the young boy would be in a black suit on the day of the tragedy.

“I saw Trump's wife holding his son, who was lying on the floor. On the day of the assassination, the young boy was in a black suit. The bullet pierced through the left side of his chest,” he said.

Prophet Amoako Attah added that the pain of losing his son will cause Donald Trump to go crazy.
