Pat Robertson: Trump sniffing at debate "MAY HAVE BEEN A SIGN OF THE HOLY SPIRIT coming out of him"



“Trump sniffing may have been a sign of the Holy Spirit coming out of him,” said Robertson on “The 700 Club.” “The Holy Spirit affects people in strange ways. Some people go into a frenzy, some people start laughing uncontrollably, some people bark like dogs. Apparently, Trump sniffs.”

Many Evangelical Christians believe Trump, a thrice married former casino owner who appeared on the cover of Playboy, has been ordained by God. According to Right Wing Watch, Lance Wallnau, an Evangelical Christian, told Charisma magazine, that Trump’s decision to hire Kellyanne Conway and Breitbart CEO Steve Bannon was divinely motivated.

Wallnau said Trump’s “faith advisers” told him to make a direct appeal to God.

“Now, we do not know what Donald Trump did on that plane,” said Wallnau. “but I can almost prophesy, in his state of mind by himself on the plane looking at the problem he had, I believe he closed his eyes, read that, and in his own way humbled himself and asked God for help. Boom! Within 24 hours the campaign pivoted, he made two critical decisions and it’s been competitive ever since.”

It's a well known fact that the harder you squinch up your eyes when you pray, the more likely God is to hear you.
Really.

I'd almost prefer that Trump bark like a dog, then.

Actually, I'd rather just have a dog that barked. Hold the racist Republican candidate.

From their about page:

The Business Standard News is a satirical site designed to parody the 24-hour news cycle. The stories are outlandish, but reality is so strange nowadays they could be true.

http://bizstandardnews.com/about/

I don't know why people are so eager to believe things like this.

It's not even good satire because it sounds like something he would say.

He did say yoga could lead to demonic possession or something like that.
