calfoxwc Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 https://www.theblaze.com/news/ready-former-us-rep-michele-bachmann-i-have-never-seen-a-more-biblical-president-than-i-have-seen-in-donald-trump What did Bachmann say? After praising Trump's economic policies, deregulation efforts, and support of the pro-life cause and religious freedom, Bachmann said the president's move to allow persecuted Christians from other countries into America "flipped on its head" the policies of former President Barack Obama. "We could go on what the president has done with standing for righteousness in so many areas," she added. Transgenders in the military Bachmann also said Obama "demanded and commanded that our military services had to literally go out and recruit people who are transgender to come into the military. Well, it costs about a quarter of a million dollars to do sex-reassignment surgery. Why would you recruit people who would come in and have sex-reassignment surgery and be on the sidelines? It made no sense, so Donald Trump got rid of that mandate and that requirement." Indeed, Trump's ban on transgenders in the U.S. military took effect last week, turning back Obama's policy, which itself was a reversal of a longstanding policy against transgenders in the armed forces. 'Highly biblical' Bachmann added that Trump "has stood up where most Republicans wouldn't dare to stand up. Donald Trump has had the courage and the fortitude, and I will say to your listeners in my lifetime I have never seen a more biblical president than I have seen in Donald Trump." Calling Trump "highly biblical," Bachmann also said "we will in all likelihood never see a more godly, biblical president again in our lifetimes. So we need to be not only praying for him; we need to support him, in my opinion, in every possible way that we can." POLITICAL DISCUSSION What else has Bachmann said about Trump? A few months before Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, Bachmann said "God raised up" Trump to face off with Hillary Clinton. "I don't think God sits things out. He's a sovereign God. Donald Trump became our nominee," she said at the time to the Christian Broadcasting Network. Bachmann also cited Scripture in relation to her point: "Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but I do know that the Bible is true and that Daniel teaches the most high God, which is one of God's names, is the one who lifts up who he will and takes down who he will." And six months into Trump's presidency, Bachmann remarked that he's a "man of prayer, and a man who loves to receive prayer. He is a man who, I do believe, understands who the God of the Bible is, and he wants to lift up the God of the Bible here in the United States."

calfoxwc Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 btw, Pres Trump has had a serious meeting with Phil Robertson, of "Duck Dynasty" about what Phil always preaches about. True Christian faith, and our country's problems. and solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorka Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 From the article I'm not sure how Bachmann derives at the notion that Trump is a "man of prayer". She clearly views him as a man doing God's work tho. You could describe Trump unwittingly doing Gods work . I don't get the impression he's religious.

However other Christians who are well versed in the bible such as Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson (who both lost to Trump in the 2016 primaries) and a host of other Christians such as Phil Robertson...(that one is for you Cal) have said that in private Trump has been very receptive to Christian counseling and teaching.

calfoxwc Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 This past summer, we sat with friends around a campfire, and I told them about how I nearly died the winter of fifth grade. I remember, always, going out to the middle of our 147 acres, when my Dad was at work in the summer - with my .22 rifle. I'd go out there to sit on mossy hill - the highest hill of our woods, with huge beech and oak trees, and fox squirrels all over the tree tops. I liked to go out there and watch squirrels - but after that winter - I went out to mossy hill and talked to God. I asked God what was so important I had a miracle to save my life? Pretty heavy emotions for a fifth grade goofball comedian kid. I honestly, truly expected that "Ten Commandments" Charles Heston low voice come from heaven. But it never did. The realization that God was really there was scary? profound? stunning?....Reassuring when you look at parts of the world without God? I have always felt far closer to God out in nature, in the woods, etc. Far, far more than any time I went to church. That Phil has similar understandings on that - is great, to me.

No one believes she was actually talking about Gacy, but it just shows how stupid she is mixing those two up. IDK about you, but it's a little more than a hop and skip from an American film icon and a serial killer. But, this isn't the only time she said stupid shit. Remember when she blamed Hurricane Irene as an "act of God" on the American deficit?

Only God knows what is in a man's heart. I don't know why you would find it hard for a sinner seeking faith? Forgiveness of sins, a changed life and a new beginning is what the heart of the gospel is about. The fact is if Trump did pander for the evangelical Christian vote in 2016 he has delivered on his promises to fight to protect religious liberty as well as being the most pro life president since Roe v Wade.

One of em. His first book, I believe, is "Happy, Happy, Happy". He explains how he and Si grew up in dire poverty, how they hunted and fished to have food, etc, and how he met Miss Kay, had two kids, and went from bad to worse - drinking, drugs, whoring around, and finally one rainy night, he told them to get out, he wanted to be free to do whatever he wanted. He was ruining his life, became an outlaw, and fell into despair because the more evil he was, the more empty he was. Finally, Miss Kay, his Wife, arranged for him to meet a pastor friend - in a bar. It's a very sad story, that eventually becomes love and zest for a Biblical life with Miss Kay, etc etc etc etc. By Pres Trump's ACTIONS as president - he has a moral Christian compass now, and that is what matters. It is also an EXCELLENT read. A NY Times best seller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
