Out of 336 million people God chose
Listen listen listen it turns out that Trump is all God’s idea. Makes sense.
Polls show that a large percentage of Trump supporters believe that God personally picked the twice-impeached, thrice-married, four-time-indicted former president to lead the United States — and Trump himself is now encouraging that belief.
Sure; why wouldn’t that be true? Naturally a god would pick an ignorant greedy mean lazy corrupt sadistic empty suit to take the top job in a nuclear-armed nation with a history of reckless adventures.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump promoted a video that flat-out declared that “God gave us Trump” as His personal representative to lead the United States of America.
Among other things, the video declared that God needed Trump to “fight the Marxists” in America while also working past midnight every night, despite the fact that leaked White House schedules showed that Trump spent almost every night watching Fox News instead of meeting with world leaders.
The video then purported to quote God as saying, “I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild.”
Ew. That’s a mental image I could have lived without. Also he doesn’t have a gentle bone in his body or thought in his head. He’s the most casually brutal human being most of us have ever seen.
Remember all the fuss about how Obama’s supporters treated him like a celebrity? Oh, those were the days….
Probably not your cup of tea anyway, but a Trump-as-Antichrist movie of the Omen III type would really only need to be a documentary.
Could be partly right; but withTrump as God’s punishment for sin.
But then again, Trump could have been booted out of Hell by the Devil himself for being too ambitious and too much of a megalomaniac. That also fits the facts.
Could be partly right; but with Trump as God’s punishment for sin
Anglo-Saxon monks used to say William the Conqueror’s brutal seizure of England was God’s punishment for the English people’s sinful lives.
Maybe some preacher nowadays will say Trump’s been sent to punish Americans for their moral laxity.
Populists are the worst sorts of politicians, because once people latch on to them their followers lose all reason, and the Great Leader’s Shit Don’t Stink. As long as he promises to clear the Justice Department of Biden’s Deep State Goons and protects their way of life, it doesn’t matter if he violates the Constitution to make things right. Reagan was one of those, and one of the “law and order” radio guys in Dallas defended him and Bush and Poindexter during the Iran-Contra hearings as doing the wrong thing for the right reasons. As long as they were helping Somoza fight the commies, it didn’t matter if they were helping our sworn enemies commit terrorist acts in Iran.
Law and Order people don’t care about law and order so much as they like to hear about raining vengeance on people they don’t like.
I’d wager that a vast majority of the right-wing Christians salivating over the escalation of war in Israel/Palestine are the same ones claiming Trump was sent by God. They’d best be sure they’re backing the right horse.
Revelations.
Revelation singular, I think you’ll find…
Forgive me, I’m no theologian.
In fairness, I think even most premillennialist Christians think it’s plural.
This from an Acolyte struck me as amusing.
I, too, forgot that Revelation is singular. Nina Paley’s lovely set of short animations of that book did not forget.

Delivering his own grandchild is a funny way of saying “fucking a porn star”. (Please forgive the crudity but as Mike Haubrich was pointing out a few post back sometimes the crudity is part of the truth.)
