Politio questioned whether Trump sees himself as God after using the Messiah speech

A political writer says president Donald Trump "Messianic Speech" is being used and questioned whether the 47th President thinks he is like God.

"Trump's prospects have essentially happened with things, and it's nothing important, it's not important," said Michael Kruse, senior staff writer of Politico and Politico magazine. "His speech has changed from an unrighteous to a Messiah."

The work illustrates the example of Trump citing God, especially after the July 13, 2024 assassination attempted by Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

In his own words, Donald Trump’s relationship with God: “I’m saved”

Politicians say President Donald Trump is using "Messianic rhetoric" and question whether the 47th president thinks he is God.

"There is a reason God saved my life," Trump said in his November victory speech at Mar-a-Lago. In his inaugural speech at the Capitol in January, he said he was "saved by God and made America great again."

"For some time, thanks for Trump's political victory, Trump has given them votes and sometimes directly said that Trump was "chosen", or "anointed", or "savior", or "savior", or "second coming" or "second coming" or "christ" or "christ" or "christ" or "christ" or "christ," Cruise wrote. "But, Trump did the same."

The title asked: "Does Trump really think he is God?"

The work also mentions Trump's joke that he will Like to be a pope,as well as AI describes itself as the Pope He posted on social media that the White House also shared.

Cruise asked, "Is it worth asking? Trump...thinks that he is God." "Well, he almost certainly doesn't consider himself God-but does he think he is... like God? Recognized, inspired or authorized by divineness? Does he think he has some special, divine reason for some special, divine purpose? Or for some special divine reason?

Cruise said former Trump adviser and publicist Alan Marcus told him that he “has no reason to doubt that he would…will rather believe he was saved by a supreme person because he himself was a special rather than a possible assassin was a bad shot or he was lucky.”

Marie Griffith, director of the John Danfoss Center for Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis, told Kruse that she thinks Trump sees himself as “the person of choice.”

"Maybe opportunism and the true belief in one's choice are not mutually exclusive," Griffith said. "But, whether he really believes it or not, it's obviously his interest, as if everything he does is approved by God." "And I think just looking at the speech, you have to doubt whether Butler really shocked him, he thought, 'Maybe they're right. Maybe I'm really the 'choose guy.'"

Stephen Mansfield, the author of "Choose Donald Trump: God, Anger, Hope and Why Christian Conservatives Support Him", told Cruise that he believes Trump believes he is "the tool of God."

Molly Worthen, a history professor at the University of North Carolina who specializes in history and religion, told Kruse that Trump is “the only source of meaning, the accumulation of personal power, transforming his will into personal, political, financial and territorial domination.” She added: “It’s fully compatible with the Messianic complex.”

She added that she did not “see the recent transformation of his language as a bias in past patterns, but rather a more comprehensive implementation of these patterns.”

Kruse's work also highlights the memes Trump posted on his Truth Account Wednesday night, depicting Trump walking along the dark streets, "He is on a mission from God and there is nothing to stop what is about to happen."

Cruise said if the president "literally" these words, he asked White House communications director Steven Cheung in a text message.

"As people of faith, we all follow God's mission." "The president has the greatest mission - to make America great again and help peace around the world. That's what he did."
