'God gave us Trump': Christian media evangelicals preach a messianic message

[Tom of Temecula]

"This is really a battle between good and evil," evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. "There's something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It's called the anointing." The Nebraska pastor, who was speaking on cable news show "FlashPoint" last summer, is among several voices in Christian media pressing a message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America's soul, and a persecuted Trump has God's protection.

"They're just trying to bankrupt him. They're trying to take everything he's got. They're trying to put him in prison," author, media personality and self-proclaimed prophet Lance Wallnau said in October on "The Jim Bakker Show", an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelations about the end times that it says we are living in. "The hand of God is on him and he cannot be stopped."

In both the 2016 and 2020 elections, evangelical voters staunchly supported Trump despite claims of adultery and sexual misconduct, which he denied. With Trump now facing dozens of criminal charges as he pursues a second term, some Christian media are bolstering his support by portraying him as an instrument of God's will who faces persecution by his foes.

While the people making these claims are largely outside the mainstream in Christian media, they have amassed significant online followings and their messages reverberate across radio shows, cable TV and streaming platforms that reach millions of Americans every day.

1. Their god is a fucking psychopath.

31. Trump is the anti-Christ

Old Testament:
Trump is the golden idol Moses destroyed when he came down from the mountain and found his followers worshipping it instead of God.
Trump has not lived by the Ten Commandments. He has not asked for forgiveness for breaking some of them. In fact, he has attacked the women he committed adultery with

New Testament
Jesus preached kindness to your enemies, when he praised the Good Samaritan
Jesus said, “Suffer the little children to come to me” He did not say little children should be torn from the arms of their mothers

Following Jesus’ teachings is very hard to do, but to pretend to be a follower of Jesus when you stand against everything Jesus taught means you are on the path to hell. And you are leading others there just as Lucifer did when he led a group of angels against God. Lucifer and his followers wound up in hell.
As my mother said, “on judgement day, some people will be surprised to see they are not standing with the sheep, but they are standing with the goats.”

2. Let me finish that sentence for ya...

"God gave us Trump so we will have an excuse for all the evil things we do. Muhahahahahahahaahahah" Fuck all y'all.

3. This is right out of the KKK playbook

Read "A Fever in the Heartland" by Tim Egan. It follows the rise of the KKK in Indiana in 1925. DC Stephenson, the VERY Trump like grifter has no true ideologies, but he sees where he can make a buck getting people all whipped up. He pays Protestant ministers to preach the KKK propaganda message from the pulpit. The congregants must pay $10 each for their robes and hats. A little less for the kiddies. (In 1925, workers were paid about $.16/hour)

4. "There's something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It's called the anointing."

So, all I have to do is convince some alleged supernatural being to smear a dab of gear oil on my bald pate and these glazed eyed morons will throw themselves down before me to wipe my shoes on in supplication?

Good to know.

[marble falls]

5. And then He gave us Joe Biden. Get over TFG - he blew it.

[Johnny2X2X]

6. Not surprising in the least.

I don’t know if people have just not been paying attention to the evangelical movement in this country. But this is no surprise, Trump is exactly the type of man their version of their religion pushes as the ideal. He’s the perfect embodiment of a man to them. Makes no apologies. Rapes and beats women because he’s an alpha male. Takes from anyone and everything around him. Harms the people they hate.

He’s practically the savior to them. The exact prototype of what a man should be according to their twisted faith.

[multigraincracker]

7. They really need to study the New Testament.

Matthew 7: 15-20
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolfs.
Sorry, Jesus has has already returned about 2,000 years ago. He said in his Sermon on the Mountain “ there are among those here today that will live to see my return.

[C_U_L8R]

8. God damn you.

The evan-knuckleheads using the lord's name in vain for their own profit. FAFO-real when steroid-pounding jeezus gets through kicking their asses across the marketplace.

[brewens]

9. If the Trump worshiping Evanpedical media are the ones claiming Trump is their messiah, we need the rest

of the Christian media to denounce that crap. It's a clear with us or against us situation. If they don't give a fuck about their religious freedumb, I sure don't.

[flying_wahini]

10. He is the anti Christ if anything. The perfect embodiment of evil in living flesh. .

Greed, sloth, all of it

[NoMoreRepugs]

11. It concerns me that my granddaughter has to live in a country with so many

utterly INSANE individuals walking about freely, seriously.

[Wounded Bear]

12. That god guy can be a bit of an asshole sometimes...

[The Unmitigated Gall]

13. Trump normalizes their bigotry. They revere him for it.

[Raven123]

14. Sure did.

It’s a test. They are failing miserably.

[SouthernDem4ever]

15. I don't listen to satan telling me who god sent.

Besides, the flying spaghetti monster hasn't declared anything of the sort.

[DoBW]

16. Yeah, gave Trump to *them*

The frogs flies, boils and locusts had all been done before

[chouchou]

17. It's scary and disgusting for many of us, when we have to put up...

...with these total nut-jobs.
They waste their lives, pretending that a bag of human garbage actually cares for the people.

[sanatanadharma]

18. Like to see folk on the street Sunday mornings outside this church(and others) with signs ...

Like to see folk on the street Sunday mornings outside this church(and others) with signs simply saying "This Church Teaches Blasphemy"

[Mariana]

21. You'd think other Christian churches in the area would organize something like that.

Crap like this inevitably reflects badly on all of them, but "normal" Christians seem to be extremely hesitant to actually do anything to oppose their crazy co-religionsts.

[calguy]

19. Christianity evolving into Satanism

That's what it seems like to me as these church leaders worship Satan Trump with loud voices while the masses cower in fear of questioning those above them who they've been taught are 'ordained' by the heavenly father in the sky.

[coprolite]

20. God gave us Trump

Maybe this is a test and your religion is failing.

[Midnight Writer]

22. If TFG is indeed "anointed", then he does not need riches or private jets or golden toilets.

God will provide him everything he needs, "like a miracle".

If he is indeed "anointed", he cannot fail.

God's Will be done.

President Biden is the one God put in the Presidency. President Biden is the devoted Christian. President Biden is the man who prays to God to repent and ask for forgiveness. President Biden is the man who lives by the Word of Jesus.

If their God actually wants Trump in the White House, then he must be a weak God who hasn't got the strength to put his anointed hero in power.

My God is stronger than their God.

If not, then why is my God's man the President and their God's man is reduced to begging?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. traitortrump reveals to us his minions of evil.

[Blue Owl]

24. That's some God ya got there, chump...

With a God like that, who needs a Devil?

[SamKnause]

25. Fuck you.

I don't believe in god.

I don't believe in the devil.

If your "god" did choose Trump, that is reason enough to never trust your "god".

[Oneironaut]

26. They feel Trump is best for the bottom line.

Trump as President.= more power, influence, and donations.

It’s all a racket suckering stupid people into giving their hard-earned money to billionaires. Their narcissism is so thick that they probably think they’re actually God, and, deserve to be rewarded for being such.

[lame54]

27. Was he out of locusts?

[RockRaven]

28. This checks out given that...

everything else they tell others he supposedly says/does makes them look like fools. Why should this one thing be any different?

[kimbutgar]

29. They worship a false prophet who's a golden calf and the most unchristian like person ever!

Nothing about him is what Jesus spoke of love and kindness.

Their false god shows them to be hypocrites they are !

[Turbineguy]

30. If God gave us trump

he means to fuck us.

[Wonder Why]

32. He gave you trump as a plague for your punishment
