Trump uses National Day of Prayer to insult Biden, spread election lies and claim he was sent by god

Minutes into his speech, Trump mentioned his faith advisers’ work in the White House. “No other president allowed that. They said, 'separation between church and state.' I said, ‘Alright, let's forget about that for one time.’”

“This is going to be really four years of celebration, so get ready,” the president said, referring to the Olympics, World Cup and 250th anniversary. “We’re going to bring God to those celebrations. We’re not going to forget about God,” he told the crowd.

The president also discussed what he refers to as the “big, beautiful bill” — a massive spending measure. He noted the bill’s promised tax cuts before acknowledging that some may lose their faith if hit with major tax hikes: "This is a religious ceremony but that's part of the religion, because if your taxes go up 68 percent you might give up your religion. You might have no choice. You'll be working too hard." The crowd broke into laughter.

The president also that God put him in the White House:“I think God answered other prayers because he’s put in an administration that’s going to make you proud again, going to make you believe and believe more again.”

1. Oh for f*ck's sake.

The man has no idea what a faith life involves. He’s a pig.

[MayReasonRule]

13. I Agree That He's A Pig... So Does Germany...

I and mine are the only members of our collective families to have escaped the Abrahamic blood cult of "Christ" in which we were reared.
Grateful every day.

Because "faith" requires the suspension of critical thinking I and mine reject "faith".

We embrace reason because it requires the embrace of critical thinking.

Hence...

Reason is our "god".
Doubt is our "savior".

When nothing else not pain, not love, doubt lifted me...
We've been "beat to hell" then lifted out... odd to say both times by doubt!

Happy Thursday y'all ...
Praise Bob and pass the Cabernet!!

History will show TSF to be of a similar benefit to the world.

[sdfernando]

3. 1st they claim to be send by God

8. If he was sent by God then he understands the part about feeding the hungry and healing the sick......

[Norrrm]

9. 'Sent by God' Donald says. His cultists also say it.

[Escape]

11. When all the truth eventually comes out...

and Trump goes down, they are all going down with him: the Republicans, the Conservatives and the Right Wing Christians. All the liars, users, enablers, conspirators, fools and hypocrites will be exposed.

They will deserve no mercy from any of us.

[Number9Dream]

12. Why wouldn't he put his hand on the bible to be sworn in ????

The media and Congressional Dems should have pressed him on why he wouldn't touch the bible to be sworn in. They missed a good opportunity to force him to answer for that. It would have played big in red states. Too late now.

[MacKasey]

15. Because he would burst into flames

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

21. He believes he's not limited by the Constitution or laws because he didn't take the oath of office.

In his mind, if you touch the Bible, you have to do what you're saying you would do. If you don't put your hand on it you haven't taken the oath, so there are no rules.

It's the same reason he doesn't use email, he rips up translator's notes, and he flushes down the toilet any document he's shown. If it doesn't exist on paper it never happened. For some reason the same logic doesn't apply to videotape, although I've never seen a reporter play to him in person a video of him showing just the opposite of what he just said, like, "I never said 'Lock her up.'" Roll that beautiful bean footage.

Jimmy Kimmel once had a Repuke congressman say he'd never vote to eliminate the ACA. After every member of the GOP did just that, he had the congressman back on, showed him the video, and asked point blank, "Why did you lie?"

[3catwoman3]

28. And what did the liar say when asked?

[Attilatheblond]

16. Sent by WHICH god? There have been some pretty sketchy & malevolent gods thru-out human history

[AverageOldGuy]

18. God DID send Trump.

I talk with God daily. She told me it was a huge screwup -- she intended to send a biblical plague of locusts and sent Trump instead.

[hamsterjill]

20. As a believer myself (no one has to believe the same as I do!) - - -

I think you are walking on dangerous turf when you mock God in the way that Trump is doing in this speech. God knows what's in Trump's heart and Trump does not fool God.

Trump may think of himself as being indestructible, but I assure you, he is still just a man.

I realize that many of Trump's followers are the zealous, crazy religious that truly believe he was sent by God. I don't believe that myself, of course, and there are many of us who believe that don't follow the crazy, evangelical path. We believe in compassion, empathy and peace. We are like Joe Biden. We also believe that anyone and everyone is capable of deciding for themselves, and should be free to follow their own path to God or away from God. Their choice.

But in my opinion, Trump would do well for himself if he left God out of his railings!!!

[kimbutgar]

22. What a despicable evil man who was sent by the devil to destroy the USA

I’m hoping he fries in hell asap.

How dare he insult a true man of God who cared about the American people. I will never forgive and trust the MSM for attacking Biden while the orange anus mouth has been 1 million times worst ! And he doesn’t give a $hit about the American he only cares about himself 🤬

[mdbl]

23. Sent by the god of greed, avarice and corruption.

[LoisB]

24. Sent by God? When did Putin become "God"?

[jmowreader]

25. Over the years, I have put a lot of makeup on a lot of people

Not once have I ever been asked to camouflage horns and a tail, but whoever prepared Trump for the National Day of Prayer rant had to do that very thing.

[COL Mustard]

26. If *47 was actually sent by God

It was only because of a shortage of locusts...or frogs...or something. If he's the answer, I don't want to know what the question is.

[3catwoman3]

29. He is such a no class ass.

[Blue Full Moon]

30. Psalm 7:14-16, Psalms seems to describe him well.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, & hath conceived mischief, & brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, & digged it, & has fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head,and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

[BidenRocks]

34. Right

Now ask any average religious extremist,
to explain what that means.

[j.preston]

35. Psalms

Spot. On.

32. Threat from what?

33. As If He Has Ever Exhibited Even a Grain of Love for His Fellow-Humans

The single most hostile entity ever.

36. 4 years fo celebration?!

"“This is going to be really four years of celebration, so get ready,” the president said, referring to the Olympics, World Cup and 250th anniversary. “

The olympicsare just going to eb the russians droppign sterpid freaks, the 250th anniversary will preside over the failure of the american experiment, as far as the world cup, I woudl love it if Canada and mexico shunned the games in protests..lets wait until we have a place that is safe for tourists.

37. Proof positive that there is no such Being, since the orange thing

was not struck by a bolt of lightning.

Either that, or their deity is a psychopath.

[Jack Valentino]

39. God didn't save Trump from assassination--- SATAN Did!

That fact is rather obvious from the results!

40. False prophet

"You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" (Matthew 7:16 NKJV)

Context and Meaning

In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warns against false prophets who appear harmless but are deceitful at their core. He emphasizes that genuine prophets and followers of Christ will produce good deeds and outcomes, much like a healthy tree produces good fruit. Conversely, despite their outward appearances, false prophets will ultimately reveal their true nature through harmful or deceitful actions. The metaphor is simple yet profound: just as good trees produce good fruit and bad trees produce bad fruit, the true character of individuals is evident in their actions.

Yet many so-called Christians will ignore this

42. He was sent by the other guy...
