A lot of people believe Trump has been chosen by God to restore America to it's traditional, Christian values and end abortion, marriage equality, and bring the Bible back to the classroom. In fact, this is a core reason for why he's so popular and why he can pretty much get away with whatever he wants. He's giving the Christian Right power that a few years ago they never could have dreamed of. They are finally getting "revenge" against the people they believe have oppressed them over the past decades.

So with this in mind, do you believe Trump was chosen by God?

Do they? What are your resources? The evangelicals ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS vote for whoever the Republican candidate is. Doesn't mean they think he was chosen by God.

Trump is also special for the evangelicals in that he came at a time after they felt like they had lost the culture war. The SCOTUS decision to legalize same-sex marriage was a huge defeat for the Christian Right and I think that was really what Trump's election is a response to.

I know for a fact he was chosen by God. And he's here to stay. Trump is just the beginning of your nightmares. Trust me.

^That doesn't sound like a very loving God. A God that you take great Glee in, that would bring nightmares
to other people. It doesn't sound like Jesus in the New Testament. It sounds mean, petty and cruel.



And if that is so, then God must have chosen Obama too.

God's sovereignty allowed Trump to be president just like it allowed Obama, Bush II, Clinton, etc. to be president.

There's no Christian agenda here. The OP for some reason is scared to death of Christians. I don't know why.

Don't worry OP - the next year or 5 years will fly by.... those learning the socialist agenda in schools will be around voting age, and they will take the country downward - again, all under God's sovereignty.

That is absolutely not true. That's what they want you to believe, but it's not true.

God gave man free will to vote for whoever they choose. Trump was chosen by the American people to be the president in the manner elections are won in the United States.

Not sure about God, but PT Barnum offers a more likely explanation for our Dear Leader's inevitable rise to infamy.
