Frank Amedia, a pastor who says he is serving in a volunteer capacity as Donald Trump’s “Christian policy” liaison, said last month that God told him last year that Trump would win the GOP nomination and that he believes Trump has been “raised up” to help pave the way for the Second Coming.
Amedia spoke with Steve Strang, the founder of the Pentecostal magazine Charisma, on Strang’s podcast on the day Donald Trump effectively won the Republican presidential nomination; the podcast was posted online last week.

“In this instance, it’s not because Donald Trump has heralded his faith or the name of God, but the Lord has put His favor upon him, and how amazing it is that the favor of God can overcome so many mistakes, so many bumbles, so many things that otherwise we would think would destroy somebody in business, destroy them in politics, destroy them in relationships. But yet it’s very evident it was the will of the Lord to do this and here we sit now.”
Amedia then told Strang that he believes there is “a skirmish going on” in the “heavenlies” right now that “is the beginnings of the preparation of the way of the coming of the Lord.”
As part of this preparation for the Second Coming, he said, a “breaker anointing” has taken place, giving Trump the power to break up “established norms” that have not served the “Kingdom of God.” (This is a reference to a passage in the Old Testament Book of Micah about the end of days.)
Breaking up the established norms. Hmm, okay, I think that can be translated as “only white, straight christians who are politically incorrect are okay, yessir!”
“And this breaker anointing is manifesting in so many different facets on earth today,” he said. “One of them is the political realm, one of them is right here in the United States, and I perceive that Donald Trump has been raised up with that breaker anointing to just begin to crush all of the strangleholds that have been placed upon this country. And, let’s face it, this country influences the world. And the positions that he’s taken, albeit in not quite the personality that you and I would walk out into, is accomplishing in establishing a lot of what were established norms and are established norms that haven’t been very effective at all on serving the principles of the Kingdom of God.”
Um, Frank, I hate to break this to you, but just up there ^, you were yakking about Jesus coming back, raining down destruction and all that; now you’re yakking about how Trump is gonna make this a god huggin’ power to be feared country again, dominating the world, and taking its rightful place as bestest country ever. I think you need to pick here. Hmmm. Jesus or power. Power or Jesus. Power…or what now?

He wants jesus to come back, kill all the jews, do something unspecified about everyone else, and take a sibset of christians to the kingdom of heaven? Nice. Enjoy being disembodied refugee playthings!! As an atheist is there an opt-out procedure?
Whilst checking to see if this kook has an entry in The Encyclopedia of American Loons (he doesn’t), I found a
priestkook that would be even more to teh trum-prat’s liking:Like the Encyclopedia of American Loons, I won’t actually link to this kook’s site, but when searching for whether or not he supports teh trum-prat, I found a not-so-charming (and largely incoherent) screed. Some excerpts:
I can’t actually work out if this bigoted nutter is for or against Trump — the incoherence doesn’t help, and he’s all over the map (e.g., not included above, is a almost-coherent and, astonishingly, largely correct, criticism of Trump) — but he would seem to a good match.
Amusingly, he also claims
, calls secular humanism a , and much less amusingly, refers to the Orlando mass murder as , . He seems to think that was operation, albeit I have no clew why (he probably doesn’t either!), partly because I gave up when I got to .Oh, and did you know
Well, yes, most people are unaware of that patent nonsense.erm. . .
Correct me if I am wrong here, but he is claiming that Trump will bring about the second coming? Seven years of hell on earth? Decimation of the world’s population? The rise of the anti-Christ (Mary’s sister?)? The destruction of most of the world?
Oh, yeah. We need to elect him. Put Trump in a position in which he can unleash nuclear destruction on the world (by fire next time!) and send humanity back to a primitive hunter/gatherer/farmer (assuming there is unpoisoned soil to till).
Some people scare the shit out of me.
On the kook in the OP, this is “good”, for certain laugh-out-loud values of “good”, Trump’s Christian Policy Adviser Believes He Single-Handedly Stopped a Tsunami and Healed Cancer:

Yep. And apparently, Amerikkka will be the crown on the shit planet.
You and me both. I’ve been terrified for months, and that hasn’t been relieved at all.

I never thought about it this way. People who go to heaven are refugees, aren’t they?
Except unlike most real-world refugees, they expect to mooch off of the bounty of the land and not pay or work for it.
