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.
Elsewhere, at the congressional medal of honor place he visited recently, he said he wanted one more than anything. He doesn’t understand why he, the president, can’t give himself the Congressional medal of honor.
Despite never serving in the military. And of course, the fact that since he’s not congress he can’t himself make an act of congress. Can’t make this shit up, it wouldn’t be quite so stupid if we did. Or as arrogant as the case is to a large degree.

How much you want to bet that Congress awards it to him anyway since Republicans control all of Congress? That would be a royal “f*ck you” to active, former, and deceased service members everywhere. 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
I think I see where the problem lies.
A Soldier Will Fight Long and Hard for a Bit of Colored Ribbon - potentially Napoleon, most likely in French.
They are talking about renaming a ship too, maybe an aircraft carrier even, named after this black cook in pearl harbour that did all this heroism stuff, for the president too.
Will congress be that craven and dishonorable? Absolutely I would agree, in a lame duck session, not before midterms.
I hope when they rename it Iran blows the fuck out of it and scraps it for memorial coins.
The mental gymnastics really wouldn’t be that hard to do.
Commander and Chief of the military>saved us from drugs coming from South America>won the war in Iran 3 times in a year>profit
It’s actually ‘Commander in Chief’, as in ‘Chief among the Commanders’.
