      Yep. Which obviously means either God isn’t omnipotent, or God doesn’t want to help Trump, or God is just a construct made by simpletons to explain complex concepts of the universe.

        Every time one of the Trump prophets has been called out for a false prophecy, they blame 4th grade level word games, or just get really angry, or both.

        And they are only getting more popular.

      Many of these people believe that satan and/or demons literally, literally, have inhabited the bodies of … basically all their political opponents, anyone who does anything bad to Trump.

      There is an entire movement of preachers on places like rumble who went completely bonkers after prophesying that Trump would win.

      These people already believed in a whole lot of Q Anon nonsense, and now it has morphed into Trump as the next David, the US as the true holy land, and near daily hate tirades from God, spoken from these prophets, to millions of apparently sub room temp IQ followers.

      They have weaved Trump into Christianity and basically formed an entire new theology based around him.

      I would be entirely unsurprised if they declare an actual holy war at some point.

      God I wish Trump had died from Covid.

        There was no way the physicians at Walter Reed would let a president die from covid. They had him pumped full of every conceivable steroid, anti-viral cocktail, and stimulant known to man.

    But these self-styled prophets instead see Trump’s conviction as evidence he is a victim — a “political martyr” — or even a biblical figure, a modern “Daniel” or “David.”

    I will never understand how Christians, following the teachings of Christ, look at Donald Trump, the man that sees the Seven Deadly Sins as a to-do list, as their second coming.

    Apparently god punishes. Unless you’re a convict running for office, keeping the republican dream alive.

    I love the idea of an all-capable, all-seeing deity thinking that a sentence was wrong and then doing absolutely nothing about it. That’s the sort of laziness that only good old Jehova can pull off.

    It’s honestly quite distressing to see people act like human progress since the enlightenment never happened.

    I just don’t get following false prophets.

    It’s literally the easiest fucking litmus test in the world.

    “How many things does this person say will come true that actually come true? How many don’t?”

    I just ran into this the other day with someone talking about Alex Jones talking about an attack on the world trade centers in 2000.

    A number of others also presented similar ideas before it happened, but more importantly - if you need to go back 20 goddamn years for an example of foresight for someone who makes wild predictions for hours every single day, that person isn’t a prophet.

    The stupidity of a lot of people is disappointing to the point of being demoralizing.

    God sitting up in the clouds. All powerful. All knowing. Nervously waiting for the trump trial results.

    “Guilty on all 34 counts”

    God: “Oh COME ON! Nonsense!! Had to be rigged! Who calls the shots around here?!”

    Some Christians: “this makes sense.”

    It Trump tripped on his own shoelaces, they would say it was a political witch-hunt.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A trio of prominent, far-right Christians who purport to channel the word of God as it pertains to American politics are pointing to Trump’s guilty verdicts as a divine head-fake.

    One might think that Trump’s having been found guilty — on charges stemming from hush money he paid to a porn star to cover up an alleged extramarital affair — might lead Christian leaders to rethink their backing of the sinful former president.

    But these self-styled prophets instead see Trump’s conviction as evidence he is a victim — a “political martyr” — or even a biblical figure, a modern “Daniel” or “David.”

    Another MAGA prophet, Hank Kunneman, delivered a similar message on Flashpoint — a Trump-boosting religious news-and-prophecy show produced by the Victory Channel, the broadcast network of Texas televangelist Kenneth Copeland.

    Kunneman — who sports jet-black hair and curiously groomed eyebrows of the same color — is a pastor from Omaha, Nebraska, who also purports to transmit messages from a God who favors the 45th president.

    To Kunneman, Trump appears as a “Daniel,” a biblical figure whose faith God rewarded by preventing him from being eaten in a den of lions.

    Ah, fundamentalist christians who barely have an understanding of what their own religion says speaking on behalf of what they assume their invisible magic sky daddy would say in defiance of all evidence in their "holy book’. Who could have seen this gross misinterpretation coming, other than literally everyone paying the slightest bit of attention?
