Michele Bachmann hammered by the internet after calling Trump a 'godly, biblical president'

On Monday, Right Wing Watch posted an audio clip of former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) gushing on a recent radio interview about President Donald Trump as the perfect Christian president.

“In my lifetime, I have never seen a more biblical president than I have seen in Donald Trump,” said Bachmann, crediting him for his hardline policy on Israel. “We will, in all likelihood, never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetimes.”

. . .

Bachmann’s comments drew instant derision and ridicule from Twitter, as many users pointed out the ways in which Trump has failed to serve as a biblical role model of anything:

Goliath, Herod, Nebuchadnezzar, Delilah, Holofernes, Jezebel, Cain, and there's always Satan. So maybe he fits right in.

"It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive any thing more destructive to morality than this?"

LOOK, Trump is every bit as believable as the story of Jonah being swallowed by a whale.

So get off her back

These people are not dealing in reality at all. I don't understand how anyone could possibly be sane and think that is true.
