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 that’s possible,” Pompeo replied.

“I am confident that the Lord is at work here,” he added.

1. The Lord of the Flies, he means

[spanone]

11. your religion has zero to do with your job, mike

[bluestarone]

2. OH for fuck sake!

All in the name of religion!

[tanyev]

3. Save them from Iran so they can be wiped out in the Armageddon?

Idjit.

[Still In Wisconsin]

28. I think that's the basic idea, yes.

See, we "the Jews) matter to fundies because they believe Jerusalem must be in "our" hands in order for their "rapture" to happen. Once we fulfill this obligation then, yes, we are free to burn in hell.

[PatSeg]

4. Oh good grief!

Just helpin' to bring on the End Times and The Rapture.

[Sneederbunk]

5. The Lord may be getting ready to smite someone.

[Mariana]

54. Don't hold your breath.

The Lord doesn't seem inclined to do anything about people like this.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. God seems to have a weird sense of humor.

[Socal31]

7. Wow.

The only time I am thankful for his super-narcissism is when it causes trump to reject religion.

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

[BeyondGeography]

8. Lordie, you're doing a heckuva job

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Friggin End Timer!

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Now, Trump is Christ. Well if everything he does is opposite of Christ then what does that make him?

[GulfCoast66]

12. This man is our Secretary of State.

I will not be surprised to see these rubes and hucksters Speaking in Tongues in the White House soon.

Even the most right wing Israeli knows this is batshit crazy. And very demeaning and patronizing.

This is literally the craziest thing I’ve heard one of the Trump administration people say yet. And there have been many.

[democrank]

13. This is truly frightening.

Pompeo and Trump, busy with their Christian mission.

[CanonRay]

14. We're in deep shit, my friends.

[Initech]

15. Someone really needs to do a South Park style "THIS IS WHAT TRUMP SUPPORTERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" video

Because they believe some pretty fucked up shit like this.

[smirkymonkey]

48. Even South Park isn't that fucked up...

[milestogo]

16. This is known as "Mindfuck Christianity"

Don't even try to comprehend it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. ...

[bitterross]

18. Frightening that the people in charge believe in 2000 year-old fairy tale for policies

Our foreign policy is based on one mythology book.

[Initech]

19. And it's being replaced with the Book Of Revelations.

Because Dump supporters only read two books of the Bible - the beginning and that scary ending. They don't bother to read the middle of it.

[trev]

42. Just to nitpick, it's Revelation (singular).

Its full title is "The Revelation to St John."

[world wide wally]

20. In the Bible I used to read, the Jews always trusted in God...

I hardly remember Trump even being mentioned... Except in the "don't bee" column.

[Still In Wisconsin]

24. Yeah, we still do. See below...

[trev]

43. Well, when they weren't following after Ba'al and Ashteroth. :)

[LiberalFighter]

21. Pompeo... you don't give a shit about the Jews.

[Still In Wisconsin]

26. Pompeo, like other Christians of a similar fundamentalist stripe, only care about "the Jews"

inasmuch as we represent Israel, and then only because of their wacky end-times prophecies.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

22. Republicanism is a death cult

[Still In Wisconsin]

23. Speaking as a Jew, I can say with confidence that we don't need Trump to save us.

We've survived, you know, a few hardships over the past couple millennia as a people without any assistance from Don Trump. I'm pretty sure we can and will continue to do so.

Oy vey.

[notdarkyet]

53. Tell Netanyahu.

[tulipsandroses]

25. My goodness, I know they like to kiss his butt

But thats taking it a bit too far.

[catbyte]

27. ...

[onecaliberal]

29. FFS. It gets more stupid with each passing day.

[madaboutharry]

30. Pompeo is a religious crackpot and a loon.

[unblock]

31. No, Donnie was sent here to prove white people aren't superior after all....

He's the living embodiment of the fact that pink skin does not make anyone superior.

[walkingman]

32. Based upon the election results I am convinced that "Christians" will believe anything. Pretty Sad.

[Mariana]

56. That was obvious long before the election.

Did it surprise you that the majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump? It didn't surprise me at all.

[walkingman]

65. Actually it did. I heard a lot of them dissing Obama but thought it was their typical racism. Little

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]

66. It wasn't just the Evangelicals

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.

[Hotler]

33. .......

[C_U_L8R]

34. God? If you're listening....

Now might be a perfect time for some choicely aimed lightning bolts.

[Mariana]

57. God's been pretty stingy with his lightning bolts just lately.

I suppose he knows what's best.

[JDC]

35. Fuh-a-uh-a-uck Mike Pompeo's beliefs.

Mike loves him some golden calf.

They really don't ubderstand that book they worship do they?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. Are WH staff now required to wear orange makeup like the boss?

Pompeo looks remarkably orange in that photo, although he doesn't have the white circles around his eyes.

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. What utter horse shit.

[Firestorm49]

38. These people are stark raving nuts.

[bobbieinok]

39. Esther 4:14 'for such a time as this' Esther was chosen by God 'at this time' 'to save the Jews'

Very popular phrase with Evangelicals

[bobbieinok]

40. See also Jan 1, 2019 NYT article 'Why Trump reigns as King Cyrus'

[Irishxs]

41. Oh good lord!!🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[Solly Mack]

44. Fart noises.

[Volaris]

45. Sigh...I long for the day when politicians in this country can bring

themselves to stop slobbering on the knobs of the religious self-important.

[RicROC]

46. God's hand in the election...

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]

59. God's hand wasn't necessary to elect Trump.

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.

[RockaFowler]

47. I see he's using the same Orange Bronzer as Der Trump

This whole group make me sick to my stomach

As a Jewish person I'm so offended that they think this way
:large

[Tommy_Carcetti]

49. What's with the constant Queen Esther comparisons conservatives are giving each other?

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.

[leftynyc]

51. It's Purim

(story of Esther) right now.

[Mc Mike]

50. Sacreligious bircher freak.

[CDerekGo]

52. when these azzhats

Start using their 'religion' as a basis for cadet bonespurs, I know why I'm Atheist

[Cousin Dupree]

55. THIS. IS. NOT. YOUR. JOB.

[Faux pas]

58. Uh

BARF

[hopeforchange2008]

60. Pompeo is a dangerous idiot

[spanone]

61. theocrats, like rust, never sleep.

[njhoneybadger]

62. That's what we're up against. Where the hell was your Lord when 8 Million Jews were exterminated

[Va Lefty]

63. Telling an insane narassistic asshole he was sent by God seems like a bad idea

[struggle4progress]

64. "We're stark raving mad! And we're looking out for your best interests!"
