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.

    There’s a reason they are losing their fucking minds trying to hide Talarico from Christian Republicans, he makes the hypocrisy of MAGA painfully obvious and they can’t handle it.

      I’d so love to see someone like Carr tracked down by ICE (under the Democrats), tackled, and bundled off to some detention facility for multiple weeks while he awaits some liberal court. Make sure to video as much of it as possible. I want to see that smug little face of his when it dawns on him what is happening.

      The Democrats should find a way to strip the citizenship of and deport Republicans that were conspiring with donnie to end democracy.
