"My Pillow" Guy at CPAC: Donald Trump is the Best Because He "Was Chosen by God"

Mike Lindell, the guy known to TV audiences as the “My Pillow” guy, also happens to be a conservative Christian activist. During a talk at the right-wing CPAC event this morning, he told the crowd that Donald Trump was “chosen by God” and that’s why he’s so amazing.

… Now we go back in time to 2016, and I see myself in divine appointments, and one was especially important. Donald Trump invited me to meet him at Trump Tower in New York City. I walked into his city with high hopes on August 15, 2016. I walked out of that office after meeting with him, and I knew God had chosen him for such a time as this.

God answered our prayers, our millions of prayers, and gave us grace, and a miracle happened on Nov. 8, 2016. We were given a second chance and time granted to get our country back on track with our conservative values and getting people saved in Jesus’ name.
As I stand before you today, I see the greatest president in history. Of course he is. He was chosen by God.

I think he's indicative of so many good people who, for whatever reason, are just not seeing actual reality.

These "Christians" supporting this man just baffles me. Except, of course, he's White.

Full disclosure, I think that guy is a sleazy, snake oil conman who peddles overpriced junk pillows stuffed with the trash leftover from manufacture foam mattresses. Now he's sucking up to Trump using a worn out religious scam to flatter the divine fatso, in hopes of... what?

Is he trying to score a lucrative contract to supply his crappy pillows to the military or the VA, maybe Trump's gold painted hotels?

is amazing, when you consider how they wanted to burn Bill Clinton at the stake for getting a bj.

So very, very glad I never sent any money in this fuckhead's direction. Lots of other places to buy good pillows.
