'He was chosen': the rightwing Christian shitshow spreading the gospel of Trump

“There is a man by the name of Donald,” the voice on the recording says. “God said, ‘You have been determined through your prayers to influence this nation … I will open that door that you prayed about, and when it comes time for the election you will be elected.”

Three thousand people are packed into an overflowing auditorium, many with arms raised and eyes closed in prayer. The recording to which they are listening is from April 2013 and of Kim Clement, a late South African preacher, as he prophesies the first coming of Donald Trump.

In a clip from the following year, Clement again purports to channel the word of God: “Hear me, for I have found a man after my own heart and he is among you. He is one of the brothers but singled out for presidency of the United States of America.”

There is excitement in the theater, with talk of a “red wave” at Tuesday’s midterm elections that will set America back on a righteous path after two years in the progressive wilderness. There is also palpable expectation that victory next week will be followed soon after by Trump’s second coming.

I think he channels god, with a small "g" for the small man who channels him.
Note for all of you: channeling is a form of possession. Only creatures of darkness engage in this kind of activity.

...nasty, petty, vengeful, hateful, mean-spirited, thrice-married, pussy-grabbing serial cheater and LIAR to be a Christian or the second coming of Jesus is beyond my comprehension.

I've tried to understand it. I can't.

These lunatics are no different from the Taliban. So much for “morality”. Their behavior supporting the likes of Trump and Walker show they’re only interested in POWER.
