Trump: "I AM THE CHOSEN ONE."

NUT-CASE! Can somebody PLEASE bring in the straitjacket already?

The doozie is at the 1:36 mark.



And from Trump's Twitter...

"President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him........like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...But American Jews don’t know him or like him. "

What Happens if he declares himself President for Life... and what if the Republicans allow it, than what?

I don't see why he, or his followers would accept a 2020 loss either. So, this is a real possibility. I think at MINIMUM we'd see a lot of civil unrest.

He does have to keep inflating his ego and getting his narcissistic supply, so next is that he declares himself Emperor of the World and finally, Supreme Emperor of the Universe and that's how the Dark Side in Star Wars actually began.

That's the way things like that go unless something gets in the way.

Hasn't this asshole gone bankrupt like 6 times? What gives Trump the right to be so sure of himself? This doesn't sound like it will end well at all.

Seriously, I didn't think it possible, but it continues to get worse and worse.

We are long past intervention time.

And it's not surprising -- it's the Family, the C-Street evangelicals, who have persuaded him --- and themselves -- that God has selected Trump to lead us into glory (or at least to save us from our errant ways and lead us back to righteousness) -- just as He selected/chose King David. it's part of the screed of the Family that Jesus was not a soft hearted lover of poor people but, rather, a big muscle guy who kicked butt and wanted his true followers to kill for Him. It explains why such a lying philanderer, such a greedy narcissist as Trump could gather so many evangelical preachers around him. Those preachers do not care about Trump's peccadillos and crimes anymore than God cared that King David committed adultery with the wife of his best friend and then allowed that friend to be killed. "No big deal," says the Family, because King David, having been chosen by God, was not called upon to honor the general rules of ethics and morality that kept the Israelites walking the straight and narrow.

Think I'm exaggerating? Check out the documentary on Netflix; the Family.

The organization laid low up until now, exerting its influence in the National Prayer Breakfast and other gatherings like it. And what influence! Every president since Ike has been a presider at the prayer breakfast. Most, I think, were just doing it for the political crew it gave them. Trump, however, has apparently been told that, above all the others, he has been "chosen" by God and Jesus.

Personally, ethically, and mentally compromised.

I'm glad he said it though: too many of our fellow Americans - especially in the halls of power - still doubted his incapacity.

penniless living on the streets of NYC after office. Once you are out of office the banks will call all your loans due, and no one will lend you money again.

Anyone who's actually READ the Gospels or a red letter Bible would know very well that Jesus would never have chosen you.
