President Donald Trump’s Republican midterm convention in Dallas featured a bizarre video that claimed he was chosen by God for a special purpose.
The video, which was also used in 2024, is a modified version of Paul Harvey’s 1978 “So God Made a Farmer” speech, but with a twist: In this one, God makes Trump.
“And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’” the narrator says. “So God gave us Trump.”
Critics were stunned by the video’s blatant idolatry, especially on a stage where speaker after speaker had attacked Democrats about faith while posturing as defenders of Christianity.
He also gave us frogs, boils, death of firstborn children, locusts…
It’s not blasphemy if you read the right parts of the Bible. Because then it is suddenly self-explanatory. Something something a great leader something through lies and deception something his followers wear his sign on their forehead etc…
Christian Nationalism doesn’t have anything to do with Christ; rather, it’s a tribal identity you can opt into, if you can shut down your capacity for critical thought.
As the article notes, the video is a repeat from two years ago. There’s really no reason to be shocked by this display now.
I mean, if you saw the AI slop he’s posted where he is jesus healing the sick, and that’s hardly the only one I guess this prick is posting sometimes a slop or meme a minute on his late night sessions, he must have a whole media team on it.
By all rights, these religious people should reject him for their faith, and in not doing so give lie to their stated beliefs.
Obviously they think that it’s ok because he’s doing stuff they think Jesus wants, like bringing about turmoil in the middle east to usher in the rapture where the earth will be drowned in lakes of blood and fire, (finally right?,) after the faithful get brought to heaven.

He was about to smother the guy so it’d be easier to molest his kids.
bringing about turmoil in the middle east to usher in the rapture
They’re so arrogant that they tink they can force God’s hand.
Exactly.
This is what REAL Christians do! Unlike those FAKE Christian Democrats who go to Church and Read the Bible!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
There’s a reason they are losing their fucking minds trying to hide Talarico from Christian Republicans, he makes the hypocrisy of MAGA painfully obvious and they can’t handle it.
I’d so love to see someone like Carr tracked down by ICE (under the Democrats), tackled, and bundled off to some detention facility for multiple weeks while he awaits some liberal court. Make sure to video as much of it as possible. I want to see that smug little face of his when it dawns on him what is happening.
The Democrats should find a way to strip the citizenship of and deport Republicans that were conspiring with donnie to end democracy.
That shit should not breach containment. I want those shit bird republicans kept here. I want them prosecuted to the full extent of the law here. I want to see them thrown into the shithole private prison system they built. I want to hear the judge give them life sentences without parole. And then I want to never hear a fucking word from them again until they die.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.
He actually fits the definition of the antichrist more. I guess the other ones claiming he is a literal gift from god could be the false prophets.
He could be the antichrist, or at least the closest thing I will see in my lifetime.
If they only actually knew their scriptures. Hint: Trump is perfectly described in Revelations 13.
The leader of a personality cult is doing cultish things? I’m shocked, shocked!
I find it hard to believe anyone is surprised by anything Trump does at this point and these clickbait titles are explicitly used to provoke shock.
We should not be surprised but we should be continually appalled. Do not normalize it.
That isn’t realistic though. We settle into the new normal whether we want to or not. That’s just how it works. We need something else to change that normal, other than outrage and emotion which will adapt.
How about those Epstein files?
The ones nobody has done anything with still and its normal now that nothing happens with them? Those ones?
Critics stunned, devotees enthralled.
And his followers will think he is a literal apostle of their zombie god. Sad.
i think their god is more of a bread golem than a zombie
Criticisms of Trump do not matter to Trump’s base.
Among all the things to be outraged about this doesn’t register. But I’m a godless heathen.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Americans invented the tent revival and the televangelist, and this is the ultimate product of that comfort with blasphemy it fostered. There’s nothing Christian about a lot of American Christians. It’s Kayfabe, regardless of whether they believe it or not.
I’m staring to think this guy may not have our best interests at heart.
