Christian pastor: Donald Trump has been 'anointed by God' to be a 'messiah'

During a recent livestream, Mississippi pro-Trump pastor Shane Vaughn declared the God has placed a “prophetic seal” on Donald Trump, suggesting that his supporters will be blessed with prosperity as a reward for supporting him.

“What is the prophetic seal that Yahweh placed upon Donald Trump and upon his true people?” Vaughn said. “It is supernatural prosperity and blessings.”

“That’s the prophetic seal!” Vaughn declared. “The reign of God, when he touches your life, there will be unparalleled blessings that come into your life that you didn’t ask for, you didn’t create, you’re just anointed for that season, and the evidence of it is in the prosperity of the nation and the people.”

“Donald Trump carried the prophetic seal of the calling of God — he is chosen!”

Must be an elephant seal.

Hey look we're not the ones dressing up in costumes and calling ourselves prophets and flying a million flags and saying that Trump is a messiah, get over yourselves, MAGA lunatics.

He’s soon going to be engaging in electoral politics through his church, if he isn’t/hasn’t been already. Bye bye, nonprofit status.

Especially the one who led a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, consisting only of children and then he sold them into slavery. The Children's Crusade.

If this is the plan the big guy in the sky has for America, I agree with the above poster in that I am glad I am an atheist, also.

Vaughn will no doubt try to use this B.S. as a grift as he fancies himself a prophet.

More into the fake prophets, etc. I don't think he's gone down that road yet. And I admit that I trolled him some - I have a lot of free time at work. Don't judge. Before being banned from YouTube, he had live broadcasts, and you could comment on them, and once I pissed him off by calling Numerology math for dummies. As he's a numerologist, he went off on a ten minute tirade on me. I then put up a numerological proof that Trump was the Beast. Banned under that account. The best though was I once joined as JuiceNewtonFan and monopolized the chat talking about Juice Newton for about 15 minutes before I was banned. So I then joined as IHateJuiceNewton and joined asking if anyone had seen Fan then going off on how much I hate Juice Newton.

Anyway, he's a former insurance agent who went to jail for identity theft (of a two-year-old) and fraud. It was fun to watch him in 2020/2021 become more and more unhinged as every reason - he fancies himself a Constitutional scholar - he gave for Trump remaining as president was shot down by reality. I wonder if part of it is just an act - he bragged about how he had just invested $2500 in Trump coins claiming they would be priceless in the future, but I think he's just that unhinged. I don't understand conservative men who claim to put so much emphasis on being independent manly men but then wrap their identity up so much in being lickspittles for others.

...this mendacious swill, and the gullible/ naive/ feeble-minded/ delusional people who lap it up horrifies and angers me beyond words. I loathe the former and kinda-sorta feel sorry for the latter

Other than 46 chromosomes and breathing oxygen, I cannot think of a single characteristic that historic Jesus and Trump have in common.
