"I am the chosen one." -- Donald Trump just now.

[kpete]

What a moment.

President Trump on the WH lawn just looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one.”

He was talking about the trade war with China and repeated his claim that he needs to take on China for unfair trading practice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his life would be easier if he had not mounted a trade war with China but said “I am the chosen one” to take on Beijing.

Trump told reporters the United States would probably make a deal with China.

[Mrs. Overall]

1. This is new? In addition to all of the other religious batshit god references earlier this morning?

Just watched it-he is the chosen one to take on China.

[True Dough]

2. MAGAlomaniac

The guy fits the definition to a T (megalomaniac, of course).

[no_hypocrisy]

3. He's making one hell of an argument for the Separation of Church and State.

Can't wait to hear the take on this by Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker on this week's Freethought Radio.

[lagomorph777]

58. Or at least the separation of Trump and State.

My Dog what a fucking nutjob.

[pangaia]

4. REPUBLICANS---- YOU are responsible for this...

[RT Atlanta]

14. agreed 100%

your comment needs to be stated - clearly and succinctly - by every elected Democratic representative 'early and often'

[pangaia]

20. I know. I have said it here many times. A no brainer.

WHAT in the world is the matter with them that they rarely say it, or at least we never hear if they do say it.
Or do not say it ENOUGH !!


I mean a rhesus monkey could come up with a general campaign set of topics for 2020, that each dem could modify for his/her particular circumstances...

Republicans are to blame for almost EVERYTHING evil that happens to the usa. !!

[Maggiemayhem]

49. And people like Paula White and Graham

[Siwsan]

5. It seems as if he is morphing into Jim Jones

and that is terrifying because of his toxic kool aid consuming cult followers.

[sweetroxie]

36. I hope he does... and take his army of goons with him

It may be the only way to purge this country of its
current "infestation."

[BigmanPigman]

64. +1,000,000,000,000,000

[llmart]

69. Ditto

[uponit7771]

40. +1

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Please remember the trade war is PUTIN telling rump to do this so our economy

and country can be DECIMATED.

Nobody talks about this, FFS

[dalton99a]

7. Chosen by God according to evangelicals in their Trump Prophecy bullshit

[Midnight Writer]

8. The name "Donald" means "Ruler of the World". I ain't shittin'. Look it up.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

10. Mine means "he who is like god"

Soooi

[Sugar Smack]

54. Mine means "Queen of everything".

[lindysalsagal]

9. Just keep tweeting, Donald. It's working.

Around january 2021 we'll have a hard count on how many votes he lost and we'll be able to divide them by his tweet total. I'll bet he loses 100 votes per tweet.

[trueblue2007]

63. I'll bet he loses 100 votes per tweet.

[qazplm135]

11. so was Anakin

that did NOT turn out very well.

[malaise]

12. Time to call him the king of Israel while pointing and laughing

at this fucking lunatic

[duforsure]

13. As the walls close in on this criminal

His acts of delusions, and panic increase.the real question is , is this just another con job, an act to try to get out of all his criminal activities? I think it is. He's a con man, and he can never be trusted. He'd bite a chicken's head off on live tv to make people believe he's crazy . He's not and it's just another act.

[Maggiemayhem]

50. We just don't know if he is seriously delusional or pulling another con

He should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes.

[Mike 03]

15. Can't wait to hear what psychiatrist Bandy Lee has to say about this. nt

[MarkmBha1]

16. ENOUGH !

Hurry, Speaker Pelosi !!

[gelsdorf]

17. If you have seen The Family on Netflix

you will understand that all of these cretins are 'chosen'
Just a terrifying mini-series

[rusty fender]

35. I was going to say

that he must have recently had a conversation with one of the Coe brothers

I recently finished watching it. The Family’s influence is insidious.

[Stallion]

18. "We've Got Great Mental Illness"

well duh

[Stallion]

23. "I'm the Least Racist President EVER in the History of Presidents"

[Cracklin Charlie]

19. We need to take a look in the White House medicine cabinet.

Who is even left there?

It is imperative that someone act to protect that man, and this country, from himself. He is endangering himself, and others, at this point.

He needs a team of physicians, to start, to provide an objective diagnosis.

Republican leaders...here is where you do your bit for your country, and get some positive polling numbers for a change. The man needs medical attention, and no one (his family) is helping him to get that help.

The times require that you do your part.

[Blue Owl]

21. Didn't know the almighty had an electoral college

n/t

[milestogo]

22. Delusions of Grandeur, with religious ideation.

[Captain Zero]

27. Yes. A Savior Complex. Plain as day.

Anybody talking like this on the street would be put in 48 to 72 hour hold at hospital psych unit.

[demmiblue]

24. Video:

[kpete]

25. Thanks

for the video!

[dixiegrrrrl]

45. Watching the clip a few times, it is obvious he is acting out a message.

He is no stranger to acting, both as a lying salesman, and all those years of Apprentice.
He's awkward and clumsy about it,to be sure, but his tone, the way he said it, is staged.

Fun fact.....that lil bit of filmed crazy can be used, with a straight face, to add to Amendment 25
evidence of mental illness.

[Celerity]

56. he is a pure conman, playing the rubes like a fiddle nt

[PCIntern]

26. Neo in The Matrix. nt

[Kid Berwyn]

28. If only there were some process for removing him from office!?

Make America great, again.

[Duppers]

67. Bingo! ⬆⬆

Thanks.

Speaker Pelosi, get back to your post and get this done. Enough is enough.

[bluestarone]

29. Well IF he IS the chosen one then

Hell we need NO TAXES!! He can just snap his fingers and INSTANT WALL! Snap again and INSTANT ARMY! snap again and INSTANT HEALTHCARE! Snap again and ALL IMMIGRANTS are INSTANT CITIZENS! NO PROBLEMS right?

[maryellen99]

30. Time to read The Dead Zone nt

[mobeau69]

31. Cracking up in front of the whole world!

[Zoonart]

32. Contact your Congressmen and Senators...

write to the news networks and newspapers. WHERE IS THE CALL FOR HIS IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION?

This guy has got to be stopped before he starts world war III to please the nutjobs.

I don't think we have the time for impeachment. He has to go NOW. RIGHT NOW! and everyone has to pressure the REPUBLICANS to make that happen.

Nothing moves Republicans like self interest. If there is a town hall in your community go to it and roast their asses.
Camp out at their offices and at their homes and deman they reomve this deranged maggot from the oval office.

NO removal no peace!

[Vinca]

33. This guy is so nuts. Reminds me of the back ward mumblings I heard when I worked

at a psychiatric hospital back in the 70's.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

38. The *Real* Chosen One

[lame54]

39. He's the chosen one minus 3 million votes

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. Chosen by Putin, that is.

[Skidmore]

42. A quick tour of the intertubes

will tell you that his evangelical base and those crazy Q conspiracy nuts are eating this up.

[CanonRay]

43. He's starting to believe his Evangelical base.

Bad news.

[DinahMoeHum]

44. Who? The Antichrist??

[bobbieinok]

46. You guys don't speak evagelicalese-- he's saying God TOLD him this

See Strang of Charisma, Mark Taylor, et al

Watch a bit of Jim Bakker show videos on YouTube and get with it!

[Scurrilous]

47. ...

[smirkymonkey]

48. This is a joke, right?

Is there video of this?

On edit: Never mind, just saw the video up thread. Unbelievable. He is barking mad. He needs to be in a padded cell, not giving interviews and flying around on Air Force One. WTF?

[yaesu]

55. nope, during the press conference he looked up at the sky and said it. nt

[smirkymonkey]

57. Oh, looking up at the sky was a nice touch.

What a lunatic!

[ancianita]

51. YAH -- the chosen one to laugh at!!

[keithbvadu2]

52. What does Super-Christian Pence say about that?

What does Super-Christian Pence say about that?

Does he support Trump in his claims?

53. If tRump is the chosen one & putin chose him what does that make putin? nt

[meadowlander]

59. Sounds like someone is about to lose a lawsuit... taxes or McGahn's testimony?

[The Liberal Lion]

60. That man is an absolute maniac

Correct me if I'm wrong but today is perhaps the most insane day in the political history of America since this gottdamn traitor was allowed to illegally enter our White house as CiC. I'm sure, however, more lunacy is to come.

[world wide wally]

61. I think I just became an atheist

[emmaverybo]

62. Usual diversion. TV wrestling match trash talk. He's playing a character, riling us up so

we spend time studying the implications of his inane, cartoonish proclamations, full of the most outlandish claims he can muster.

Do not be played. Stick to the real issues and put your outrage where it belongs.

No he is not demented or crazy. He is having the time of his life.

[Javaman]

65. when I heard this, the first thing I thought of was this...

[mercuryblues]

66. I leave for 5 hours

5 freaking hours to go to my kids college convocation and Costco. 5 hours and come home to trump claiming divinity.

[mntleo2]

68. Anyone seen the Netflix' "The Family"?

It is explaining their dummass, elitist view:

So God still loved David even though he lusted after a married woman, got her pregnant and then, because the husband was a good Jewish man who refused to have relations with Bathsheba before going into battle. So David sent him out in the front of the battle to make sure he was killed, essentially murdering this man.

The Family's point being that if God still loved and designated David to be king, then anyone God "chooses" can do whatever he wants. It was The Family's duty to stay out of the limelight and protect whomever they deem "designated." They tell the president (or other people in power) that they are "chosen" by God. They have done this with every president since Eisenhower and this included tRump as well as with other world leaders.

This freaking nimrod thinks God "chose" him because this elitist unchristian group of freaks arbitrarily decided he was now THE "chosen" one. They are the ones who sponsor the prayer breakfasts and while they are Christians, try to heal partisan discord, and do allow other faiths to participate. The Moonies, whose own leader declared himself the Messiah, are part of this group. Graham, the American University elite, Karen Pence (yes Mike Pence's wofe) all of them schmooze with that group in order to get more power and money in their pockets. These freaks try to manipulate the world country's politics and have no morals such as not to kill, to step on others to gain power and money, cheat on their wives and families, all of it is OK with these immoral freaks. Do anything you want, kill millions and you will be blessed because God "chose" you.

I am a Christian but I am one those of us who believe in the separation of church and state. I most certainly do not believe in immoral things and especially expect my leaders to set a good example. I believe we should do all we can to minimize this group. Laugh at them, call them fools, destroy their position in the world, it need to be done. Yesterday.

Oh yeah ... and there is *no* proof archaeologically that David and Solomon ever existed. This is somewhat of a thorn in the sides of the Abraham faiths. Because they really have no proof these men ever walked this earth, which they all use this story to justify their bad deeds. As they use their elitist actions in The Family. This is a reason why tRump thinks he is "chosen"

My 2 cents, Cat in Seattle
