https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/pompeo-suggests-trump-put-earth-save-jews-christian-believe-possible/
CBN News asked if President Donald Trump could be like a 2,500 year-old character in the Old Testament.
Could it be, that President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time like this just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from an Iranian menace? CBN News asked.
As a Christian, I certainly believe thats possible, Pompeo replied.
I am confident that the Lord is at work here, he added.

He would never concede that someone was more important than himself.

Even the most right wing Israeli knows this is batshit crazy. And very demeaning and patronizing.
This is literally the craziest thing Ive heard one of the Trump administration people say yet. And there have been many.

(7,505 posts)did I know that it was so much more. Racism, Xenophobia, Narcissism, White Nationalism - how could I not have seen it. All the evangelicals seem mesmerized by Trump these days.
Mariana
(14,847 posts)although their majority was overwhelming. Most Catholics voted for him, as well as most Protestants overall (including the Evangelicals) and most Mormons.
Non-Christians voted overwhelmingly for Clinton.

(1,202 posts)I hear people say that it was God's plan that Trump is now pResident. I agree with that statement in the sense that God realized it would take the entire backing and resources of the US government to investigate and thereby bring this international crime family to justice (and it could only be done if Trump was pResident.)
Mariana
(14,847 posts)The majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for him. If they hadn't, no amount of Russian or Republican election shenanigans would have put him over. The Christians elected this president, and they should not be deprived of the credit.

(43,079 posts)They gave it to Katherine Harris in 2000 during the Florida recount.
They gave it to Sarah Palin in 2008.
Now they are giving it to Donald Fucking Trump.
It's like the "Jewish people" are a prop that constantly need saving by some Republican Goy of the day.
