==Trump shill==
During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, Amedia served as a volunteer "liaison for Christian policy" for Donald Trump. In this role, he was responsible for arranging meetings between the Republican presidential candidate and conservative religious leaders. After the election, he created POTUS Shield, an incoherent webshite to glorify Trump. POTUS Shield declares that Trump's election victory is a "divine mandate" and provides "a shield and weapon of spiritual force."I perceive that this timing is critical and strategic… POTUS Shield, 8 January 2018. Most of the content of this site is rambling pseudo-Christian extreme right wing political blather and prayers to protect Trump against a "storm" of conspiracies driven by "evil forces" and "witches and warlocks."Kyle Mantyla, POTUS Shield Prays For Protection Over Trump From Deep State ‘Evil Forces’ And Curses Of ‘Witches And Warlocks’ Right Wing Watch, 20 April 2018. 
POTUS Shield was a complete bust and was simply an advertisement for Amedia's YouTube ranting. Its Facebook presence is equally barren, having only about a thousand followers and occasional posts consisting mostly of advertising for Amedia's Ohio church.POTUS Shield on Facebook.
