Lawmakers, influencers, and religious leaders are all portraying Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt as part of God’s plan to protect him and deliver a Christian America.

Absolutely crazy

    What was noticeably absent from all of these claims of God protecting Trump was any reference to Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was killed by a bullet meant for Trump while using his body to shield his family at the rally.

    This, Jones said, speaks to the dangerous divisions that result from claiming that God was protecting Trump but not anyone else.

    If it was “god” then it’s safe to say the nick was meant as a wake up call for him to stop being so evil and anti-democratic.

    The whole divine intervention aspect of it is just weird.

      Yeah because people usually stop believing in fairy tales when they’re about 6 years old.

        Some of us never believed them to begin with.

      Strange you let this one stay but you deleted my previous posts… They both make republicans look crazy. Are you just not personally insulted by this one?

        I wouldn’t say I like the source, but it is what Republicans are saying. I am not sure what is more pro-conservative than God Almighty stepping in to give Trump Matrix-style powers to avoid being shot.
