Trump: God's Chosen Candidate?


“God wanted Trump to become president.”

“Trump was chosen by God to protect religious values.”

“He’s on an assignment from God.”

“He was chosen by God.”

“President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace.”


All of these are real quotes said in defense of Donald Trump.  Some came from politicians, some from people within his administration, and others from prominent Evangelical supporters.  Such defenses have been trumpeted since the 2016 election, and they’ve only grown more frequent.  They view Trump as some sort of savior, likening him to Queen Esther or King Cyrus.  They maintain that he saved the country from the tyranny of Hillary and the Democrats by coming to protect the soul of our country during its hour of need.

It all sounds completely ludicrous, right?
