Barack Obama was known as “The Chosen One.”But two professors who study religion and politics say more churchgoers now believe President Trump has been anointed by God to lead the United States.Ryan Burge, assistant professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University, and Paul Djupe, an associate professor of political science at Denison University in Ohio, wrote a “Religion in Public” blog post titled “Trump The Anointed?”The two ran a survey in March and found that among white Protestants who attend church services once a week, 49.5% believe Trump has been anointed by God, calling the finding a “phenomenon that is sweeping American religion.”

Good or bad, all leaders are chosen and ordained by God to fulfill His purpose. We are just spectators

Whether he is or not, I think we should pay more attention to our burning churches.

We needed a miracle-worker to fix what Obama did and everything else that the democrats have broken.

For anyone claiming to be spiritual and especially Christian, if you cannot see that Trump’s victory was anything but the sovereign Hand of God having mercy on our nation, I don’t know what to say.

Even the MSM called his election a miracle. If it were not for Pres. Trump, we would already be a Communist nation. God is in control.

The professors were “quite surprised” that 49% of people frequently attending worship services believe that President Trump was anointed by God to be president. People of faith who study Scripture know Scripture is the inerrant Word of God, and that God controls the universe and all that is in it, animate or inanimate, and God selects heads of nations (Haggai 2:20-23; 1 Chronicles 14:2; Daniel 2:21, 4:17; Romans 13:1-2; Revelation 1:4-5). Sometimes God gives nations the individual they want, instead of the individual they need.
As written in Romans 13:1-7, civil government is ordained of God and accountable to God. God governs civil affairs through the law, and governs the church through the gospel. God’s laws prevail over man’s laws (Romans 13:1).
It may be reasonable to conclude that the study of Scripture makes a difference in whether or not people believe that President Trump was “chosen by God.” A cursory knowledge of Scripture is inadequate to understand Scripture. Scripture interprets Scripture.

If Barack Obama was the "chosen one".
I hate to know who chose him.
I know it wasn't GOD, nor me

#7- Sometimes God gives nations the person they WANT, instead of the person they NEED. There is a difference between “allowing” and “choosing.” Without question, President Trump’s heart and actions on behalf of this country, especially his efforts to defend religious freedom, suggest that God gave this country the person it needs, “chosen” by God, President Trump.

Well he is an aggressive personality, which is exactly what we need because these days anything that touches common sense or the truth is revolutionary. If that is God given, I don't know, but I do know that real evil has been running newsrooms and broadcast centers for decades.

The victory over this evil depends on We The People. God has provided a leader for us, but we are more than spectators. Our actions will determine the outcome, just as it has been through the ages. When God’s people turn to Him, He saves them. We must humble ourselves before Him and pray as never before for His mercy. We have been a sinful nation and we need His forgiveness.
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
May it be so, Lord!

It's not hard to understand why some people believe God intervened to save the United States.
Especially after watching Satan attack it for 8 years.
