Pompeo: "As a Christian, I believe it's possible" Trump was put on Earth to save the Jews



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/03/pompeo-suggests-trump-put-earth-save-jews-christian-believe-possible/

CBN News asked if President Donald Trump could be like a 2,500 year-old character in the Old Testament.

“Could it be, that President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time like this just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from an Iranian menace?” CBN News asked.

“As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible,” Pompeo replied.

“I am confident that the Lord is at work here,” he added.

See, we "the Jews) matter to fundies because they believe Jerusalem must be in "our" hands in order for their "rapture" to happen. Once we fulfill this obligation then, yes, we are free to burn in hell.

The only time I am thankful for his super-narcissism is when it causes trump to reject religion.

He would never concede that someone was more important than himself.

I will not be surprised to see these rubes and hucksters Speaking in Tongues in the White House soon.

Even the most right wing Israeli knows this is batshit crazy. And very demeaning and patronizing.

This is literally the craziest thing I’ve heard one of the Trump administration people say yet. And there have been many.

Non-Christians voted overwhelmingly for Clinton.

I hear people say that it was God's plan that Trump is now pResident. I agree with that statement in the sense that God realized it would take the entire backing and resources of the US government to investigate and thereby bring this international crime family to justice (and it could only be done if Trump was pResident.)

The majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for him. If they hadn't, no amount of Russian or Republican election shenanigans would have put him over. The Christians elected this president, and they should not be deprived of the credit.

They gave it to Katherine Harris in 2000 during the Florida recount.

They gave it to Sarah Palin in 2008.

Now they are giving it to Donald Fucking Trump.

It's like the "Jewish people" are a prop that constantly need saving by some Republican Goy of the day.
