Trump Proclaims 'God Is Very Proud' of His First Year Back in the White House

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/trump-proclaims-god-is-very-proud-of-his-first-year-back-in-the-white-house/

This is blasphemy at it's finest...... Looks like he's best buddies with God... A person that does not even attend church.

So how does he really know God is proud? Did he come down from the heavens and talk to Humpty Dumpty?

“Looking back [after] one year, do you feel like God is proud of the effort that you’ve [given]?”
“I do, actually. I think God is very proud of the job I’ve done,” Trump said, while chuckling a bit.
What's the chuckle all about, eh?

He continued, “and that includes for religion. You know, we’re protecting a lot of people that are being killed. NOT even close. As a matter of real true facts, many have been killed BECAUSE of him.

Christians, Jewish people, and lots of people are being protected by me that wouldn’t be protected by another type of president.” What does he mean by another type of president? Perhaps a sane one? Really? Where's the proof for any of this bullshit?

My friends, turn in your Bibles to the Book of Revelation, Chapter 6, Verses 7 and 8, and read along with me.

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Donald Trump, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

As described in the bible, he probably is proud of all the destruction.

That bible god sure killed a lot of people.

Never believe that the bible god is pro life. He is actually very pro death. Almost everything alive today will be dead in about 100 years. How's that for pro life????

Meanwhile, Trump just cannot stop talking, even though he has little to say and the vocabulary of a 4th grader.

Never before have so many people called upon the Christian deity -- every day, as I read through the news, I holler out several times, "JEESUUUS CHRIST!!"

is “GO SLAP YOUR PASTOR" SUNDAY. Where ARE they??????????????
This is THEIR wheelhouse. Instead they’ve made themselves WHORES to get what they already had.
Religion was very well tolerated in the US until small “c” christians complained that they weren’t the be-all-and-end-all of religion and had to try (for the jillionth time) to DOMINATE our lives.
You DO know that’s what a “christian dominion" is, right? It is NOT Freedom. (Except to tote a Rifle and a Bible.)
I have no more wish to live in a “christian dominion” than an "islamic republic". Both are corrosive of my Human Rights and Freedom.
I Blame Religion.

First, God doesn't have base emotions like pride.
Second, How would Trump know if he did....unless he was talking about himself as if he was god.

34. This promted me to look up the word proud in the Bible
Wed Jan 21, 2026, 11:08 PM

The word is used 56 times and all but twice it seems it's used in a negative contents.

I think it more like this is what God thinks of Trump

Malachi 3:15
And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

Malachi 4:1
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.


1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Job 26:12
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

Psalm 17:10
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

Psalm 31:18
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
Psalm 12:3
The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

Psalm 101:5
Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

Psalm 119 8
Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
Psalm 123:4
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

I can't find one verse where God ever claims pride for himself, but we all know Trump has never read the Bible Mein Kampf is more his speed
