Trump's Campaign Manager: Trump is 'a Savior' Delivered by 'God'

Source: hillreporter.com



BY Todd Neikirk May 3, 2019

.............................

The event was a successful one with an estimated crowd of around 10,000. The president’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale, took to Twitter to describe Trump’s Green Bay rally in messianic terms.

Parscale wrote: “Loved watching the crowd fill up for the 547th Rally in Green Bay. There has never been and probably never will be a movement like this again. Only God could deliver such a savior to our nation and only God could allow me to help. God bless America!”


The campaign head is not the only Trump surrogate to describe Trump in religious terms. Earlier this year, Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said, “I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that’s why he’s there. I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about.”

Parscale was also in the news this week due to a paid speech that he gave in Romania. The April speech has created ethical concerns. According to CNN, “Delivering paid speeches, whether domestic or abroad, is not illegal but is highly unusual for presidential campaign managers.”........................

My guess is NOTHING will ever be done about this Parscale giving paid speeches.

tRump. If HE is not cursed, then what the hell happened to him? Ugly as sin, repulsive orange blob. He could hardly be called even passably attractive. His third marriage is as miserable as the first two. His "vife" makes the point perfectly clear "Money can not buy happiness" Gold digger got one hell of a bargain.

Because Donald Trump is absolutely opposed,180-degrees, to every single thing that Jesus of Nazareth ever stood for. What the hell is the matter with "Christians" today? I grew up in the church, and the church I grew up in would never have endorsed his blasphemy. And he IS blasphemous. Donald Trump is a direct affront to everything that people who love Jesus (and, particularly, Jesus' words and teachings) follow.

I am happy to allow these idiots to keep talking.

Nothing grows the atheist ranks faster than these religious fools.

If anything good has come from these experiences with trump is a near complete collapse of religion in the face of its greed, bigotry and hate.

The sooner we shed the shackles of iron age mythologies and move forward as an enlightened and intellectually awaked society, the better.

in the role of Campaign Manager and real servant of the devil, just like the good book says, in the end times a false prophet will rule. I'll bet he carries his bible with him and actually reads it before making a fool of himself, no, not happening, no grey matter under the dome. sarcasm

42. A fairly relevant Biblical quote:
Sat May 4, 2019, 04:13 PM
May 2019

"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

Also:

"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before.

Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not."

It's doubly creepy considering they are talking about Trump

I don't think I even recall people talking about W. in these terms. I mean, I sure there were some irrelevant loons who did, but I don't think I ever heard an official talk about him in those terms. I was too young to notice with Reagan or elder Bush.
