WTF: ... he recounted a conversation he had with God where he said, "OK ... you got me."

There was a moment in his speech a few minutes ago where Trump jokingly suggested the pandemic was God "testing" him for being too prideful about the economy. As part of the bit, he recounted a conversation he had with God where he said, "OK ... you got me."

And, in a 70+ year old person ... almost certainly a sign of significant cognitive decline.

Your dipshit cousin bought a perfectly nice Camaro ... then he put a chip in it that made it go a little faster.

Then he went out and wrecked it ...

Then, at your dinner table, he said exactly what Trump just said, regarding the Camaro ... explaining how God told him he wrecked the Camaro to test him, and this was a sign that he must rebuild the Camaro, and make it even FASTER this time!

You would conclude that your cousin has completely lost his mind ... wouldn't you?

This "story" - all of it - is unbelievable. Including the credit he gives himself on the economy. At best he was handed a very stable economy from Obama/Biden and 3 years later, he cratered it. That's the truth Trump, believe me.

blame somebody since he won't take any responsibility for the mess he got us into, why not God?

His idea of a Holy Trinity is "Me, Myself, and I".

If God is testing him with the virus, He must really be testing the 170,000 grieving families right about now.

God did it to punish him for his arrogance? A tad egocentric, but it's the closest he's ever gotten to taking responsibility for anything....

Any practicing Christian Trumpist turns a blind eye to this hubris.

Telling God "Only I could do it?". He knows you rode Obama's coattails, you slime. God is Omniscient.

He thought it was a good one, too, because they'll believe he actually spoke with God, and that God is in awe of his super duper abilities.

As we all know he's been neglectful of his Godliness, so he had to throw out some red meat to his faithful fan base.

Thing is, now that he made up this fairy tale, he'll start believing it's true. God really did speak to him with such appreciation.
