The belief that Donald Trump was sent by God reveals more about human psychology than about divine plans
Listen to this story here: 5 min & 20 sec.
By the Ghost of George Carlin for Bear Howard —
Sedona, AZ — Lights up. Fog drifts across the stage. A transparent figure grabs the microphone. It looks like George Carlin, could it be?
“Good evening, folks. Relax… you’re not hallucinating.
I’m a ghost.
Yeah, I died… but I had to come back. Apparently, the planet hit a new level of stupid, and nobody told me. I didn’t want to miss it.
You know how bad things got?
I left Earth for a few years… and when I came back, people were saying a politician was sent by God.
That’s right.
God.
The guy who invented galaxies, supernovas, gravity, the platypus…
…and apparently his next big project was a real estate developer from Queens.
That’s the divine plan?
I imagine God looking down at Earth like a contractor reviewing blueprints:
‘Hmm… oceans are good… mountains look nice…
but these humans… these humans need a loud guy with a gold toilet.’
You gotta admire the imagination though.
Humans have this adorable habit of turning politicians into messiahs.
‘He’s the one! He’ll save us!’
Yeah… because that worked out great every other time.
Remember Napoleon Bonaparte?
They said, ‘He’s gonna restore France!’
Yeah, he restored it… to a war every weekend.
Then there was Benito Mussolini.
People said, ‘He’ll make the trains run on time!’
Yeah, the trains ran on time…
straight into World War II.
But now in America, we have a new religion.
It’s called Cable News Christianity.
The holy trinity is Ratings, Outrage, and Advertising Revenue.
And the sermon goes like this:
‘God chose Donald Trump.’
God chose him.
That’s interesting… because in the Bible, God usually chose shepherds, carpenters, and fishermen…
You know… people who could build something.
Not guys whose greatest miracle is putting their name on buildings someone else paid for.
But the followers say:
‘Well… he’s not perfect.’
No kidding.
That’s like saying the Titanic had a moisture problem.
And then they explain it.
‘God uses imperfect people.’
Oh really?
That’s convenient!
That means every lunatic in America is now a prophet.
Your neighbor who thinks clouds are government spray paint?
Chosen by the Lord.
Your cousin who thinks Elvis is alive and working the fryer at a Taco Bell in Albuquerque?
Also part of the divine strategy.
Pretty soon, the Book of Revelation is gonna read like a Facebook comment section.
But here’s the trick.
People don’t want saints.
Saints are boring. Saints tell you to be kind.
People want fighters.
They want somebody who walks into the room swinging a folding chair like it’s professional wrestling.
‘Yeah! That’s our guy! Break something!’
Politics used to be about policy.
Now it’s team sports with nuclear weapons.
Team Red.
Team Blue.
Everybody screaming:
‘Our billionaire cares about regular people more than your billionaire!’
Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting there thinking:
‘Could we maybe elect someone who read the Constitution once… and didn’t try to sell condos on it?’
But once a leader becomes a savior, that’s when the brain shuts off.
Criticize the leader, and people lose their minds:
‘How dare you question him!’
Hey… this is democracy!
Questioning the leader is the entire job description!
Otherwise, just skip the election and hire a magician.
‘Ladies and gentlemen… the next President of the United States…
picked from a hat… by God… sponsored by MyPillow.’
Because once you believe a politician was sent by God…
well… now you can’t vote him out.
You gotta wait for the rapture or an audit.
See, democracy only works if we remember one thing.
Politicians are not prophets.
They’re not kings.
They’re not saviors.
They’re employees.
You hired them.
And if your employee burns the building down…
you don’t build a church around the ashes and start singing hymns to the guy.
You fire him.
But humans love heroes.
Give people enough fear… enough anger… enough social media…
…and pretty soon they’re standing in the crowd yelling:
‘Only he can save us!’
And that’s when the ghost of history floats down and says:
‘Oh good… you idiots are doing this again.’
Anyway folks… I gotta go.
The afterlife’s waiting.
Up there we tried something radical.
No messiahs.
No billionaires.
No political parties.
Just competent management.
And honestly?
Compared to Earth…
Hell looks like it’s running pretty smoothly.”

“People want fighters”
Yes they do! But most normal Americans want a real fighter who will fight for them not themselves. And certainly not a draft dodging, pseudo patriot, insurrectionist, racist, sex offender convicted felon. Trump is not our first Criminal Idiot President and he certainly will not be the last. He is however the most dangerous Criminal Idiot to take the office. And I do mean take it literally. Then destroy everything about it too top to bottom, floor to floor, east wing to left. Remember the glee of MAGA when Afrikaner Boer Nazi Elonia was gifted a chainsaw from another Criminal Idiot destroying his own country? Remember how they openly stated they were going to take a chainsaw to the Federal Government? Well they have and continue to do so and now at the expense of American lives for oil, bitcoin, military and resort contracts with foreign enemy countries? Member? If you don’t you’re either a brain dead MAGA Q Conspiracy Nutjob or you haven’t been paying attention.
Former Alex Jones employee says: ‘It was nonsense, it was lies’

And there you have it MAGA! You were lied too and duped by numerous lying grifting criminal con artists who have taken your money and ran! It’s incredible that so many millions of M’ericans ever fell for any of that bullshit in the first place! But then again we are the land of MEGA pseudo churches, anti government militias, white supremacist, National Enquirer believing fools who fell for Putin and Xi propagandist and propaganda! Alex “Brain Wars” Jones belongs in a Supermax isolation cell just like the entirety of MAGA- Especially their Orange Phoney Lying Grifter Draft Dodger Convicted Felon Messiah!

So what happens when the “Messiah” and his “Disciples” are criminal liars who use and abuse their perceived power?
The King said today 2-3 more weeks of the war on Iran after his already stating that 3 weeks ago. He did the exact same with Ukraine. Remember Ukraine? The King said he and only he could and would end that war on his first day, in a couple of days, then weeks, then back to any day now then the years went by and MAGA still bought the lies. Iran will be more costly in lives, equipment, munitions and tax payer dollars than any previous war. Keep being amazed by the ball and cup tricks MAGA, you’re down to him taking your last dollar from you and laughingly walking away.
Pope seems to rebuke Hegseth in remarks about leaders with ‘hands full of blood’
Pontiff’s unusually pointed comments come after US defence secretary’s prayer for violence against enemies ‘who deserve no mercy’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/29/pope-rebuke-trump-leaders-with-hands-full-of-blood
Seems the actual words of Christ and the Bible run completely contrary to the words of MAGA’s distortion of them to suit their racist agendas. Bible also says, “thou shall not worship false idols”! Yet MAGA openly does and a criminal liar at that! Wonder what ol Saint Peter is going to tell all those chutzpah’s of sin when they show up at his gate?
I don’t ever recall Christ using such hatred and blasphemy-
“Open the fucking strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell – just watch,” he continued, adding: “Praise be to Allah.”
Must be a different kind of holy man to be so hateful? And nothing like completely insulting those in Iran that he asked to rise against their government only to be shot and killed by them and bombed into “the Stone Age” by the US and Israeli war crime bombing ms upon civilians and civilian infrastructure. I knew he shared more with Putin than the destruction of our Democracy, he also likes being a racist hater that kills people for fun!
Trump deletes post depicting him as Jesus-like figure after backlash
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c17v8y0z9z2o
Just Trump playing with his brain dead cults heads. They see him as a Messiah despite his numerous crimes and violations of the Commandments and word of Christ. He sees them as suckers and losers just as he sees everyone but his 34 count self! You can see the “uh oh I’ve been caught lying again” look in his deer in headlights look. The same look he had when confronted with the hard cold facts about the Access Hollywood Tapes and Stormy Daniel’s Hush Money Payoff. MAGA die hard still buy the lies and invest in his grift by buying his cheaply made Chyyner crap and sac religious $99.99 autographed Dump Bible he’s never read, holds upside down for photo ops, cannot quote a word of but makes bigly personal profit off of.
Just him being a “doctor” is just as lame as the lie and farce he fully intended with the heavily fat shopped image of his bigly ass pretending to be a Messiah only to wuss out and lie again saying it’s an image of him as a doctor! My ass he didn’t know or intend the complete opposite. He’d never ever be a doctor let alone a urine screen lab tech. He doesn’t have the intelligence cards and he never did. He’d never be an actual Messiah unless Heaven is Hell and God is Satan. But none of that matters to his faithful flock of brainwashed idiots so long as he continues to be a liar because that’s what they think makes him Messianic.
Cruz calls Carlson ‘deranged, leftist psycho’ following comments on Muslims
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5833050-ted-cruz-tucker-carlson-iran-war-clash/
So you see ladies and germs of MAGA, you’re only a useful idiot until you’re not and then you’re just an idiot without use or purpose. Good on MTG, Joe Rogain and even F@cker Carlson for waking up and growing a pair! And to think people defend an adulterous man who cannot quote a simple verse from the Bible over a devout Catholic who spent his entire adult life in service to his God and church and an American man at that! Seems MAGAverse is self imploding with infighting and jealousy. Just today Trump asked to conduct a survey over which of his sycophantic cabinet members did the best job at getting nothing out of negotiations with him over the war Trump illegally started.
Trump Hemorrhages Support as Key Voters Regret Backing Him

“Jesus warns his disciples and apostles multiple times of both false prophets and false Messiahs, and believers are frequently adjured to beware of them and stay vigilant“
Christian eschatology originated with the public life and preaching of Jesus.[5] Throughout the New Testament and some of the early Christian apocryphal writings, Jesus warns his disciples and apostles multiple times of both false prophets and false Messiahs, and believers are frequently adjured to beware of them and stay vigilant.[6][7][8]
Gospels
In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:15–20), Jesus warns his followers of false prophets:[6][7][8]
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits.”
The canonical gospels address the same point of a false prophet predicting correctly, and Jesus predicted the future appearance of false christs and false prophets, affirming that they can perform great signs and miracles, for example, in the Olivet Discourse given on the Mount of Olives:
“And Jesus began to say to them, ‘Take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, I am he! and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet. […] And then if any one says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or Look, there he is! do not believe it. False christs and false prophets will arise and show signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed; I have told you all things beforehand’.” (Mark 13:5–7, 13:21–23)
“Take heed that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they will lead many astray. […] And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. […] Then if any one says to you, Lo, here is the Christ! or There he is!, do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Lo, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, Lo, he is in the wilderness, do not go out; if they say, Lo, he is in the inner rooms, do not believe it.” (Matthew 24:4–5, 24:11, 24:23–26)
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus brought out an ethical application for his disciples using the analogy of false prophets in the Old Testament:
“Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26)
Acts and Epistles
In the Book of Acts, the apostles Paul and Barnabas encountered a false prophet named Elymas Bar-Jesus on the island of Cyprus:
“When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they came upon a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Bar-Jesus. He was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. But Elymas the magician (for that is the meaning of his name) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith. But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, ‘You son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind and unable to see the sun for a time.’ Immediately mist and darkness fell upon him and he went about seeking people to lead him by the hand. Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.” (Acts 13:6–12)
This particular story likewise best matches the model found in Deuteronomy. The claim here is that Elymas is trying to turn Sergius Paulus from the true faith, just like the false prophet described in the preceding verses. In these verses, we do not see Elymas prophesying as the term is popularly understood, so the model seems to fit this scenario best.
The Second Epistle of Peter makes a comparison between false teachers and false prophets and how the former will bring in false teachings, just like the false prophets of old:
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their licentiousness, and because of them, the way of truth will be reviled. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words; from of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not been asleep.” (2 Peter 2:1–3)
The First Epistle of John warns those of the Christian faith to test every spirit because of these false prophets:[6]
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this, you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.” (1 John 4:1–3)
The false prophet of Revelation
The most well-known New Testament false prophet is the one mentioned in the Book of Revelation. The False Prophet is ultimately cast into the fiery lake with burning sulphur:
And the Beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the Beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur.
— Revelation 19:20
And the Devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the Beast and the false prophet were, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
— Revelation 20:10
Another mention of a false prophet in the New Testament is the “antichrist spirit which denies the Son”.[9] In the New Testament, the word antichrist (Greek: antikhristos) appears mainly in the Johannine epistles and in the plural, denoting those who deny and/or don’t believe in the messiahship of Jesus.[9] A similar term, pseudochrist (Greek: pseudokhristos, meaning “false messiah”), is used by Jesus in the Gospels. These terms seem to refer to a category of people rather than a single individual.[9][10][11]
