The short answer to this question is - hell no. These are two characters who could not be more different as one prefers to feed the poor while the other takes away Meals on Wheels from the elderly. Personally, I believe Donald would be closer to the Old Testament God as opposed to the New Testament God, as is evidenced by Trump wanting to kill the families of terrorists (innocents) and God killing people he deemed evil via a flood. God chose a man who wanted to do the VERY DEFINITION OF TERRORISM? God chose a man who wanted to kill innocent people? Blow me.
Now if you are a religious person, you have the belief of God being responsible for all of mankind, thus being responsible for creating Trump, so it's there, but you have to twist yourself into a pretzel in order to make this claim even remotely logical. Which it is not.
A host of people have tried to make this assumption while still trying to act as if they have half a brain, all while being coddled by their fellow God loving people making them believe their ridiculous assertions are factual.
Mary Colbert tried to make such an assertion on "The Jim Bakker Show" claiming, 'It’s not that Donald Trump is all that perfect of a guy. We all know he’s not. And we know that he’s not necessarily perfect in every way that we would like. That’s not how God works. He works through the ones he chooses. We don’t choose them. All we have to do is recognize them and when you recognize a chosen one and you have the discernment to know that they’ve been chosen and know that that’s the will of God, then your life will be blessed. And if you come against the chosen one of God, you are bringing upon you and your children and your children’s children curses like you have never seen. It puts a holy fear in me.'
So, basically, we shouldn't even question Trump and his lies because God. There was literally no expansion on her thoughts to lend any credibility to them, not a single 'God chose Trump because Trump is for/against this topic issue, as is the Bible in chapter..'. Supposedly God works in mysterious ways and this is why he should not be questioned, mysterious how? What is God's supposed goal with putting Trump in power? Why Trump in particular? The reason why Mary Colbert could not go any further than simply scream God is because she pulled it out of her ass - bigly.
Also, why would not subscribing to Trump's political beliefs mean any harm towards my (maybe) future children and grandchildren? Who isn't to say they could be just as conservative and hypocritical as Donald Trump, might even scream "FAKE NEWS" whenever a person tries to argue their differing political opinion or knowledge of a particular issue.
Mary is not the only far-right conservative to suggest Trump received help from a higher power as Tom DeLay, the former House Majority Leader, decided to chime in with his expert take on the debate. While promoting his book - not going to mention the name, you would lose brain cells reading it, thank me later - talking to the ridiculous conspiracy theory website WorldNetDaily. Tom proceeded to espouse the notion of Trump being hand picked by God claiming, "Now that Trump is elected, I'm very excited about it because I see now what God is doing" already laughable but he continued, "First of all, He stopped the left in it's tracks and He stopped Hillary Clinton and put a man in place, that was a strong leader, which the country was begging for." Lastly, DeLay puts his idiocy on show for all to see as he claimed, "It didn't matter what his policies were, people wanted a huge change in the direction of the federal government." You can say that again Tom, Trump was getting the far-right simpleton vote. Trump said this himself at a campaign rally, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose voters." PolitiFact would give this a 'True' rating, as it is evident that no matter the policies - or whatever side of a policy he happens to be on when asked - or metaphorically shooting someone, the far-right would still vote Trump.
The sheer arrogance of these people is absurd, you can clearly see how weak their arguments are, as they never mention why God happened to choose Trump, just that it's their horse.
Have you ever noticed how God is always responsible for any right wing successes? God has been responsible for telling a majority of the Republican candidates to run for office, it almost seems like a little religion card which is pulled out just as support is needed from right-wing Christians in America. God has also whispered in the ear of Republicans such as: Ben Carson, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum and Scott Walker. God must really favour the Republican Party. Our supposed creator must of also been on break from 2008-2016 as he completely left his 'chosen' candidates as losers on the political stage - must of been part of God's plan.
Let's see what God is in favour of;
- Is God in favour of low taxes on the rich? No.
- Does God want to "Stop the Left in their tracks"? No.
- Does God want to deny any American the right to health care? No.
- Would deregulation of entities such as the EPA be on God's list? No.
- Would God be in favour of immigration? Yes.
- You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. - Exodus 22:21
- There is neither a Jew nor a Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. - Galatians 3:28
- Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. - Hebrews 13:1
- I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. - Matthew 25:35
When you cannot recite a single bible verse, or mispronounce the verse you want to feign interest in, you should lose the respect and the vote of Christians in America, but as it turns out, if you stand for the things the bible is against and people follow you due to their preconceived biases, this is exactly how you win.
