Sarah Sanders: God 'wanted Donald Trump to become president'....⬅️ this is what we're dealing with.



(CNN)White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said she believes God wanted President Donald Trump to win the 2016 election, the Christian Broadcasting Network reported on Wednesday.

"I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that's why he's there," Sanders told CBN's David Brody and Jennifer Wishon, according to a transcript of the interview provided by CBN.

"I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about," Sanders added.

When asked about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling Trump's proposed wall along the US southern border "immoral," Sanders told CBN, "The idea that protecting the people of your country, which is the fundamental duty of being president of the United States, would in some way be immoral is a ridiculous charge."

They want all of THIS? They’re okay with all this? This chaos and flagrant criminality? The shitty excuse for “management”? This doesn’t bother them? They’re not up in arms about this utter betrayal of what we all were taught as children that America was supposed to be all about? The greed, the selfishness, the lies? That covers almost half of the Seven Deadly Sins right there.

You’d think anyone reading the Bible, especially the Jesus parts would find Trump significantly lacking as someone you’d choose to emulate or worship.

He does fit the description of the antiChrist a little too close for this atheists liking. Lately I’ve been remembering Bible scriptures when I see what is happening now, and they aren’t the comforting ones.

She said it to make sure they stick with Trump. And oh - the 'god' she's talking about is a vindictive asshole.

if God wanted Trump to be president
God must also have wanted Robert Mueller appointed as special counsel
God must have wanted Democrats to regain the House and have Nancy Pelosi as Speaker
God must have wanted an openly bisexual woman to be in the Senate

someone who makes their living as a professional liar, and with a woman presenting herself publically as a highly moral and religious "christian" who apparently is OK working for a self-proclaimed pussy-grabber, serial cheater and non-stop liar.
