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.

    Could not imagine a more clear basis for outrage from Americans everywhere than that.

    Remember when he tore down part of the white house for essentially no reason? That was a way bigger insult to the nation

    Who cares if he steals a little piece of metal? He does that all the time, he loves stealing tokens and trophies. No one with half a brain would ever be confused and believe that he somehow earned the FIFA trophy and congressional medal of Honor, and a purple heart and whatever else he wants to stick on a shelf

    It’s embarrassing, for both him and the county, but it’s entirely meaningless. It’s just a piece of metal if you don’t earn it
