Did God pick tRump like he did King David?

Takes a whole lot of Loop-holes to build that Temple.

If tRump were to follow David, like in the Bible, Seems he might have slew the whole Viet Cong Army, or at least their top warrior. David the Shepard killed Goliath with a pebble. tRump brought a letter from his dad's doctor to get out of that job. They even enlisted Hebrew numerology to prove beyond any doubt.
On the other hand, there might be more fitting ones to be made. King Ahab, for instance, was concupiscent, capricious, easily controlled by women, coveted property, feigned devotion to Yahweh while leading his nation into idolatry, and treated the prophet Elijah — the closest thing to an honest journalist you’ll find in ancient Israel — as an enemy of the state. Herod the Tetrarch is another strong contender — an adulterous divorcé who loved to build things with public money, beheaded John the Baptist because his attractive daughter-in-law/niece asked him to, and (according to the Book of Acts¹) was ultimately struck dead by the Lord for allowing a crowd at one of his political orations to worship him as a god.

Feel free to use this with religious relatives on turkey day at the table.

his nose. Then when he flicked his finger to expel the slimy
goo, the booger flew off and damn it, if it didn't stick to his
flip-flop. After dragging his flip-flop through the nearest mud
puddle and shaking off the water, the booger, he noticed was
Trump, bad hair and all was swimming toward a curb. There
it began to grow and grow, getting slimier and slimier catching
other stray boogers along.Til he collected enough boogers to
get his own flip-flop. Now nobody knows how to remove the
boogers without sacrificing the flip-flop.

Some of them are greedy.

Some of them are racist.

Some of them are uninformed.

And some are a combination of the above.
