Of course he did. When all else fails—indictments, debate disasters, trial verdicts—he just declares himself God’s errand boy. It’s a tactic as old as power itself: if you can’t win with reason, wrap yourself in religion. Bonus points if the faith you invoke also encourages blind obedience and fear of outsiders.
But this isn’t just Trump being Trump. It’s the logical next step in the GOP’s long romance with Christian nationalism—a movement less interested in Christ than in control. What used to hide in prophecy chat rooms is now getting screen time at campaign rallies.
So yes, let’s take it seriously. Not because Trump has suddenly found Jesus (he still can’t name a single verse), but because he’s found the same old trick: claim divine sanction, silence dissent, and call it freedom.
I seem to remember that John Belushi, in the Blues Brothers movie, also said that he was on a mission from God, and then proceeded to destroy a lot of things. But, this was a movie, Belushi and Aykroyd were funny, and they had Aretha Franklin.
I'm sick of the term "Christian Nationalism." We all know what it means but it's doing them a favor. It's whitewashing. "Christian" sounds godly and "nationalism" sounds patriotic. How about we call it what it is: bigotry, racism, white supremacy, neo-nazism.

I am inclined to suspect that the God question is Moloch.
The Blues Brothers were on a mission from god too.

We much prefer the Blues Brothers version.

Fake Christians - real evil.
Donald Trump recently posted a meme promoting the claim that he is “on a mission from God.”
So I posted a picture of the Blues Brothers with the caption "Trump says he's on a mission from god. Just who the fuck does he think he is?"
Elon is really hideously ugly. All the money in the world will never change that fact.
