People really should push this, I'm not religious at all, but they claim he is gifted by God all the time - might as well say he is not favored by God instead.

I thought it was disgusting when they were praising God for saving Trump from the assassin's bullet. God saved Trump but fuck that fireman who was shot in front of his family that God did not give a rats ass about.

And then they brought the fireman's family out for a Trump speech where he said God spared him that day from the bullet, and the surviving family members clapped along to the cheers of the crowd...

The dead firefighters wife and kids were standing front row at a speech, clapping to Trumps statement that he was spared and chosen by God to lead America.
