According to Rick Perry and Nikki Haley, we can thank God for bringing us, possibly, the most corrupt president America has ever seen. On Sunday, soon-to-be former Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, told Fox News viewers that President Trump is The Chosen One.
He hedged his statement by saying that God uses imperfect people to execute his plan, and, of course, Trump is not perfect. Perry said that, about a month ago, he shared a Biblical one pager with the president that spoke of past kings being chosen by God and then told Trump, You are the chosen one.

On Monday, David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, tweeted a portion of an interview with former United States ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, Nikki Haley. He brought up the same topic and received similar results. Brody asked, What God is doing exactly by putting Donald Trump as the president of the United States?
Haley first replied, It goes to show that everything happens for a reason. And then without an ounce of irony Haley said, Look at the results of Donald Trump as president, going on to credit the president about job growth, the economy, and the courage to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Haley then doubled down on using the word courage to describe Trump, saying, Theres been a lot of courage coming from this president to change what was the status quo. She added that the American people wanted a disrupter-in-chief and were looking for change.

(11,736 posts)It is so convenient to say, "So and so (totally corrupt asshole) is chosen by god as an 'imperfect person' to do so and so" It is a bunch of BS. If everything is for a reason then what is the reason a baby is born with cancer or no brain, or in excruciating pain. The simpletons will say, that is the work of the Devil. More BS.
Our apathy, ignorance, and failure to address the greed, sexism, and racism in this country throughout our history, brought us Trump. Our blind devotion to capitalism and making money brought us Trump. Our devaluing of education and science, or fact and reasoning, that is what brought us Trump. All of that and Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
