What a moment.
President Trump on the WH lawn just looked up to the sky and said, I am the chosen one.
He was talking about the trade war with China and repeated his claim that he needs to take on China for unfair trading practice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday his life would be easier if he had not mounted a trade war with China but said I am the chosen one to take on Beijing.
Trump told reporters the United States would probably make a deal with China.

(24,324 posts)WHAT in the world is the matter with them that they rarely say it, or at least we never hear if they do say it.
Or do not say it ENOUGH !!
I mean a rhesus monkey could come up with a general campaign set of topics for 2020, that each dem could modify for his/her particular circumstances...
Republicans are to blame for almost EVERYTHING evil that happens to the usa. !!

(11,885 posts)His acts of delusions, and panic increase.the real question is , is this just another con job, an act to try to get out of all his criminal activities? I think it is. He's a con man, and he can never be trusted. He'd bite a chicken's head off on live tv to make people believe he's crazy . He's not and it's just another act.

It is imperative that someone act to protect that man, and this country, from himself. He is endangering himself, and others, at this point.
He needs a team of physicians, to start, to provide an objective diagnosis.
Republican leaders...here is where you do your bit for your country, and get some positive polling numbers for a change. The man needs medical attention, and no one (his family) is helping him to get that help.
The times require that you do your part.

He's awkward and clumsy about it,to be sure, but his tone, the way he said it, is staged.
Fun fact.....that lil bit of filmed crazy can be used, with a straight face, to add to Amendment 25

This guy has got to be stopped before he starts world war III to please the nutjobs.
I don't think we have the time for impeachment. He has to go NOW. RIGHT NOW! and everyone has to pressure the REPUBLICANS to make that happen.
Nothing moves Republicans like self interest. If there is a town hall in your community go to it and roast their asses.
Camp out at their offices and at their homes and deman they reomve this deranged maggot from the oval office.
NO removal no peace!

Do not be played. Stick to the real issues and put your outrage where it belongs.
No he is not demented or crazy. He is having the time of his life.

(2,535 posts)It is explaining their dummass, elitist view:
So God still loved David even though he lusted after a married woman, got her pregnant and then, because the husband was a good Jewish man who refused to have relations with Bathsheba before going into battle. So David sent him out in the front of the battle to make sure he was killed, essentially murdering this man.
The Family's point being that if God still loved and designated David to be king, then anyone God "chooses" can do whatever he wants. It was The Family's duty to stay out of the limelight and protect whomever they deem "designated." They tell the president (or other people in power) that they are "chosen" by God. They have done this with every president since Eisenhower and this included tRump as well as with other world leaders.
This freaking nimrod thinks God "chose" him because this elitist unchristian group of freaks arbitrarily decided he was now THE "chosen" one. They are the ones who sponsor the prayer breakfasts and while they are Christians, try to heal partisan discord, and do allow other faiths to participate. The Moonies, whose own leader declared himself the Messiah, are part of this group. Graham, the American University elite, Karen Pence (yes Mike Pence's wofe) all of them schmooze with that group in order to get more power and money in their pockets. These freaks try to manipulate the world country's politics and have no morals such as not to kill, to step on others to gain power and money, cheat on their wives and families, all of it is OK with these immoral freaks. Do anything you want, kill millions and you will be blessed because God "chose" you.
I am a Christian but I am one those of us who believe in the separation of church and state. I most certainly do not believe in immoral things and especially expect my leaders to set a good example. I believe we should do all we can to minimize this group. Laugh at them, call them fools, destroy their position in the world, it need to be done. Yesterday.
Oh yeah ... and there is *no* proof archaeologically that David and Solomon ever existed. This is somewhat of a thorn in the sides of the Abraham faiths. Because they really have no proof these men ever walked this earth, which they all use this story to justify their bad deeds. As they use their elitist actions in The Family. This is a reason why tRump thinks he is "chosen"
