Anointed by God?
And here I thought he won an election,,,,,,,
Any way, if you oppose Trump, apparently God hates you.
Trump's spiritual adviser says opposing him is 'fighting against the hand of God'
One of Trump’s top spiritual advisers made an appearance on TV Pastor Jim Bakker’s Show and made some scary remarks to their evangelical audience. ThinkProgress reports:
After insisting that America is more than 70 percent evangelical (a claim that is wildly false), White launched into a series of mini-sermons that described Trump’s presidency as “anointed” by God—and proclaimed that his opponents, by extension, are an affront to the Almighty.
This rhetoric is pretty popular among the right-wing evangelicals set on running our country, also known as Christian nationalists.
She continued: “It is God who raises up a king. It is God that sets one down. When you fight against the plan of God, you are fighting against the hand of God.”
Sadly, this language about Trump’s “anointing” by God to lead the country isn’t rare. It’s been said amongst Christian nationalist leaders like Robert Jeffress and Lance Wallnau, who have a dangerous affinity for Donald Trump.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Anointed by God?
Once again, we can cite many, many kings and leaders who where supposedly "appointed by god" throughout history. Most of them eventually were ousted as their nations crumbled by other kings and leaders who were "appointed by god".

Good summary of the "historical books" of the Old Testament.

Leaders should pay attention to performing their duties in ways that honor God, rather than telling us that God supports them.
