President Trump tweeted in defense of his comment that he is 'the chosen one' during a Wednesday press conference while discussing the trade arrangements with China. He claimed that the comment was only in jest and that media outlets critical of the remark did not accurately reflect that he was joking. "When I looked up to the sky and jokingly said 'I am the chosen one,' at a press conference two days ago, referring to taking on Trade with China, little did I realize that the media would claim that I had a 'Messiah complex,'"

The other day a Trump-wise soul said “do not take him literally, but do take him seriously”… Those who are used to persons who speak like Dick and Jane, very simplistically, totally miss what PDJT is saying. Many of them are in the media; others are those who hang on the media’s words. And don’t forget - he now knows the media and knows just how to push their buttons. It’s a game with him...

BTW, what he said could well be true. We chose him to do what no other president has pulled off...

It had to be a joke. Everyone knows Beto O'Rourke is the chosen one.

Remember when obama said "I am the one we've been waiting for."and the msm fools thought he was and still is the "chosen one"! Remember all those photos of obama with a halo? President Trump says these things knowing the msm will make utter fools of themselves which of course they immediately did. How I loathe the msm!

Mocking the leftards is an art form as practiced by President Trump.

The left knows that he was joking but they have to use anything and everything to go after him. If they want to rant about messiah complexes they should look no further than their mulatto messiah.

Remember Obama said he would part the waters & heal the country. Remember all the Big columns at his rally that Pepsi sponsored. Obama really thought he was the One!

Obama said almost the same thing and the media said, "Amen!"

The Media and all their leftist comrades truly believed that Barry Soetoro was their Messiah, so anyone who dares to even joke about usurping the Won's crown is committing sacrilege and blasphemy in their eyes.

Remember when schoolchildren were singing hymns and odes to BO during the '08 campaign?
And yes, POTUS was being facetious, joking with the as usual humorless, vainglorious media.

I think he is right....God chose him at this precise moment to come forward and attempt to right the wrongs in this country..he is our last great hope....and God brought out the deplorables (conservative, bible reading, freedom loving) to vote him into office...

The Enemedia, being so seriously afflicted with their debilitating TDS infections, have had their senses of humor (if they ever had any) surgically removed.

How is it possible that the super-intelligent Dems never catch obvious humor?

When the Communist Muslim Kenyan said it, the media immediately dropped to their knees and pressed their foreheads to the floor.

If you are serious, #20, key in "chosen one" t-shirt on your favorite search engine and there are multiple choices.

Trump knew exactly what he was doing by calling himself the chosen one. He knew the MSM would go nuts. It would feed into their narrative that he's an ego maniac. Trump loves to fool with the media because they take themselves soooooo seriously.

Hussein the Horrible announced himself as, "I won," and his victory speech included control of the tides and levels of the oceans, and other such braggadocio.
