It is interesting in light of the fact there is little or no evidence that Trump is a Christian.
I wonder if Ms Sanders believes that Putin was called on by God to fulfil the role he played in the 2016 U.S. election?

@fmf saidThey are appointed and what they do or did is either good or bad. Your next breath is from God as is all leadership.

@philokalia saidI recall then-President George W. Bush claiming that God wanted him to invade Iraq. The statement was withdrawn promptly and some other excuse was offered for invading Iraq instead. It would be interesting to know whether former president Bush still thinks God wanted him to invade Iraq.
I don't know, man.
If someone said "God wanted Obama to become President," I would have to nod with them and hear them out because, well, he did become President, right?
So IDK. If someone believes in God and in things happening for a purpose, this is a pretty innoccuous statment.
Sanders's statement may simply be playing to a voter-block, nothing more. I sure hope Trump does not really believe he has some sort of divine sanction, because the last time a president thought that, the USA got involved in a war which is still running.

@fmf saidMaybe this is not about Trump after all, but about Ms Sanders. Maybe Ms Sanders was feeling a bit wobbly in her post and felt the need to flatter her boss. Thing is, she's shot her wad too soon -- there are many months yet to go in this presidency, and from "God wants you to be president" there is nowhere to go but down.

@moonbus saidHow about, "God wants you to be King"?
