"God intervened and put his hand on Donald Trump for some reason."
By that "logic," I guess in 1933, God put his hand on Adolf Hitler for some reason."
I can't stand Franklin Graham.

(9,760 posts)meaningless. It's just their way of saying "God wants what we want."
Notice how they didn't say it was God's hand that put President Obama in office. I guess God was too busy in November 2008 and November 2012 to get involved.

(82,383 posts)Always strikes me as weird, especially when they do it regarding a game like a football game. One team has to lose. When their team loses, do they wonder why God didn't want them to win?

(32,640 posts)when Obama won, God had abandoned the United States of America. Funny how they can justify anything as God's will.

I guess if you spend all your life believing absurdities, letting your own critical thinking skills rot, celebrating your own ignorance and hatreds, then you'll believe the preacher when he tells you that Trump is the One.
Certain churches have no problem telling their members which candidates are God's candidates, and which are the devils, even though this is a blatant violation of their tax-exempt status.
The Republican Party, grifters that they are, own these intellectually lazy voters.

(7,621 posts)asks the question, "Was Trump Chosen by God To Stop America's Destruction?" An excerpt from the post:
"Rick Wiles interviews retired firefighter Mark Taylor who was given this prophetic revelation in 2011. The Lord has chosen Mr. Trump to bring America back from the brink of destruction. Mr. Taylor wrote this amazing prophecy in 2011 giving us a glimpse of what's to come and why all who attack Mr. Trump will fall by the wayside."
