Sarah Sanders: Donald Trump Is President Because God Wanted Him There

Source: Huffington Post

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she believed God wanted Donald Trump to become president in an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network Wednesday.

“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,” Sanders said. “And that’s why he’s there and I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about.”

She also called Trump the “most conservative president” America has ever had. “There’s a reason evangelicals are sticking with the president, and that’s because he’s delivered on all the things he said he would do,” she added.

A key part of Trump’s base, white Evangelical Christians especially support the president’s call for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported that 67 percent of white Evangelical Christians support Trump’s wall, according to the most recent Public Religion Research Institute poll taken in September 2018.

at the end of last year. Nobody needs a lying, scowling, overweight "spokesmodel". Poor Sarah, stuck in that job, day after day. Making a great salary off taxpayers, while insulting our intelligence. Maybe she could start her own church, with her father? He was good at grifting.

because God wants him there. We're all going to hold you MAGAts to this argument when the time comes. Consider yourself warned -- we will be dismissing and ignoring your objections/complaints on these grounds.

But, it's really just Sanders confusing her desires with God's desires. Fundamentalists tend to do that a lot.

Do any of these people look happy to you? Or even just content with their job and their lives? Do any of them know how to smile?

Apparently her God called on her to fill the role of Liar on behalf of Chief Liar.

open and both Trump and Sarah Huck-Sands walk through.

I'm trying to write the possible dialogue for when they meet God, but the words just don't come to me.
Apparently my imagination can't twist into that level of insanity.

. . . . but I'm sure some late night, satirical show host will supply the words. Can't wait!

I would agree that it would be God's Plan to have Trump as pResident, in the sense that it takes the power of our entire US government to investigate and punish him. There's no other scenario which could involve such a massive undertaking by the government.

You would think that The Almighty, who created the Universe in 7 days (or was it 6 days) - this is the best He could do?
Why not someone who actually believe in Him and makes an effort to live in accordance with The Lord's 10 Commandments?
Sarah, are you sure it's not.....................the other guy, the one down below - who chose DT?

if we really knew what "God" had in mind, we'd be "God."

Many would say that they rely on the Bible... which has been edited and translated over and over and over again.

Believe, or don't believe.. but if you do believe for sh*t's sake don't pretend you know the plan.
