The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump’s standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

    doesn’t the Bible specifically warn about people like Trump?

    For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

    — 2 Timothy 3:2–5, English Standard Version

      Yes, but it doesn’t matter, these people don’t read the Bible. For them, it’s just an excuse to do whatever it is they’re doing.

    “There’s a portion of the evangelical community that’s very attracted to the idea that God knows everything and God appoints leaders,” he said. “They believe that Donald Trump is the appointed leader at this moment in time.”

    “‭‭Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.”

    – Romans‬ ‭13:1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Except, of course, if the current leader is a Democrat.
