‘Actual Blasphemy’: Critics Stunned By ‘Repulsive’ Video At Trump Convention
President Donald Trump’s Republican midterm convention in Dallas featured a bizarre video that claimed he was chosen by God for a special purpose.
The video, which was also used in 2024, is a modified version of Paul Harvey’s 1978 “So God Made a Farmer” speech, but with a twist: In this one, God makes Trump.
“And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’” the narrator says. “So God gave us Trump.”
Critics were stunned by the video’s blatant idolatry, especially on a stage where speaker after speaker had attacked Democrats about faith while posturing as defenders of Christianity.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

I find it hard to believe anyone is surprised by anything Trump does at this point and these clickbait titles are explicitly used to provoke shock.

Remember to vote for God everyone! God needs your votes! And your money! God loves your money so, so much. If you don’t give me votes and money, you’ll go to hell!
