The belief that President Donald Trump, as well as presidents in general, were ‘anointed by God’ has increased considerably among church attendees, according to a recent report,” the Christian Post reports.
“Among white Protestants who attended church once a week or more, belief that Trump was anointed by God had increased from 29.6% last year to 49% this year, according to a report titled ‘Trump the Anointed?’ that was published by Religion in Public.”
“Last August, Trump garnered controversy when, during a press conference that included a question about trade negotiations with China, he called himself ‘the chosen one,’” the report continues. “Trump later walked back his comment, claiming in a tweet that he was being sarcastic and that the reporters present knew he was just joking.
On the same day, Trump retweeted a comment by conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root, comparing the president to the ‘King of Israel” and “the Second Coming.’”
