CEO at virus briefing: Trump 'chosen by God'

‘Our president gave us so much hope’: MyPillow CEO goes off script at coronavirus briefing

President Donald Trump kicked off Monday’s press briefing on the coronavirus much like every other, by running through daily updates about the deadly virus and the White House efforts to eradicate it. ... Trump then yielded the stage to a handful of business leaders — one of them a staunch supporter who went off script in a moment of effusive praise for the president.

“A friend of mine, Mike Lindell of MyPillow,” Trump said of Lindell, who sat in the front row of chairs set up in the White House Rose Garden.

Lindell, a major Republican donor, the Trump campaign’s chairman for Minnesota and someone who has called Trump the “greatest president” in American history and someone who was “chosen by God.”
“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” Lindell began, referencing the day Trump was elected president. “Taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God.”

Lindell then offered advice to families stuck at home because of various social-distancing guidelines: “I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the Word, read our Bibles and spend time with our families.”
