Why does God need a star ship?

A question Captain Kirk asked in Star Trek V when they confront a being claiming to be God.

But in this manner, we see no GOP supporter of the Orange Turd ask, "Why does a billionaire need to raise money for lawyers?"

A carnival barker selling the freak show to people who can't pass up seeing what's inside and who will believe everything they see.

The commentator of their much needed daily two-minutes of hate.

He doesn't need to need it. They don't have to wonder why a billionaire is asking.

He is their everything.

Of course, it's rhetorical, because it's provable that TFG was never a billionaire.
