1983 Prophecy of Tom Zimmer The Hermit of Loreto: "Donald Trump Will Lead America Back to God"

"You don't mean that rich American Playboy ...! said the Doctor who had finally found Tom, who had left America to become a Hermit near 'The House of Loreto' in Rome, last home of Mary, moved to Rome.

'Father Giacomo Capoverdi, a Roman Catholic Priest, was told by a Doctor, Claudio Curran, to go to Loreto on his trip to Rome, and search for the ‘Holy Man’ who lived near the House of Loreto. He was told that this “hermit’ had left everything behind in America to live in Rome, as a penitent, or hermit. He said he had even compiled a book, The Pieta’ containing the fifteen prayers of St. Bridget.

Father Capoverdi tells in his video of searching for Tom and finally finding him hunched over , sitting on the floor next to the Holy House in prayer. He sat down next to him and they had a truly spiritual conversation.

Next time Fr. Capoverdi saw his friend the Doctor he learned of the prophecy or “premonition” that he (Tom) had told him. Tha is that Tom believed that a certain man would lead America back to God Donald Trump!

Zimmer was so convinced that Donald Trump would become a great spiritual leader of America that he wrote his name on a brick and had it placed in the reconstruction of St. Peter’s Holy Door after the jubilee in order that Trump would receive blessings from the many Masses that would be said at the Vatican.

Father Capoverdi decided to look into the history of Tom Zimmer. He met a 90 year old friar named Fr. Mario whom he had known for a long time. Fr. Mario said he recalled an American man who prayed in the basilica. He said the Friars all knew of him, calling him”LAmericano”. They found him to be courteous and nice.

He was referred to a Fr. Giuseppe Santarelli who had been in Loreto for decades. Here he learned that Tom had been in Loreto for about ten years. He was very pious and devoted, he went to Mass every opportunity he could. He was constantly in prayer, spoke fluent Italian, and the friars held him in high regard. Their only issue was that he received communion more than twice a day.

He said the Basillica had received word of his death and they had a record of it. Fr. Santarelli was allowed to take a picture of a picture of Tom, as seen above below.

His search led him on to the bookstore to which he had been referred. Here lived a a lady named Michela. She said she believed that Tom was a very holy man and she used to accompany him to the retirement home where he lived, Oasi Ave Maria retirement home. This 3 km or 2 miles from the Holy House The receptionist there called the director, Dr. Montuoro who said that he knew Thomas well as he had lived in their rest home for many years. He did not know about Tom’s ‘premonition’ but he had heard him speak in such a manner to others though he did not elaborate. He wore numerous religious medals around his neck and wrists and constantly recited little chaplets and prayers.

He said Tom was well liked by all the staff, and had numerous friends and acquaintances who visited often. giving him rides back and forth to the Holy House.

The Doctor said that in the end, due to poor physical health, his family members insisted he return to the US, though it was against his will and he regretted it. He died at home in the U.S.

Sonia, who owns a local popular restaurant called Tacabanda had further information to offer.When asked if she knew the American, Tom Zimmer, her eyes began to glisten and she said …”I could talk for hours about him.

“He came to Loreto about the same time I opened my restaurant. He was one of those people that can see things that others cannot.” She was asked to elaborate.

“There was a time when my Mother lived with me, saw a doctor for something and he ordered some lab work. I was to go to the doctor with her to see the results the following Monday morning. The day before, I was quite anxious. When Tom saw me and without knowing anything about my mother, said, “Sonia, do not worry about that hospital visit tomorrow, your mother will be just fine.” The next day all the results came back favorable. That was Tom Zimmer. There are numerous stories about him like that” she said.
