Sarah Sanders: "God wanted Donald Trump as President"
In a broad exclusive interview with CBN News, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders says God wanted Donald Trump to become president of the United States.
"I think God calls us all to different jobs at different times and I think he wanted Donald Trump to become president," Sanders told political analyst David Brody of CBN News and Washington senior correspondent Jennifer Wishon. "That's why he [Trump] is there and I think he did a tremendous job in supporting many of the things that people of faith really care about," Sanders continued.
The secretary also pointed to the conservative majority on the Supreme Court, saying that evangelicals have remained next to the "most conservative president we've ever had," because he does not fail to deliver on his promises. She said, "Just look at the judicial appointments - I think one of the greatest legacies that the president will have after his eight years in office will be how he completely overhauled the judiciary and started stopping this activist court we've begun to see in the last eight years."
Finally, Sanders, who is the daughter of a Baptist pastor, a former pre-candidate for the US presidency, does not hesitate to point the most remarkable note in the midst of all this: "There is a reason why evangelicals are with the president, and this is because he fulfilled all the things he said he would do.

Note: we already had the opportunity, on several previous occasions, to highlight the evangelical support that decisively led Trump to the presidency, support which, I am convinced, lies not so much in Trump's figure in itself, but in a rupture which, having patience consumed, the religious class wanted to do with the current state in 2016.
In this scenario, evangelicals look, literally, at Trump as a modern Cyrus that will bring them the liberation from a yoke that will consequently transport them to the last scenes of history that they believe will be of conquest by the Christian world over it's enemies.
It is for this and other reasons that Trump's presidency is more than an exclusively political issue - the religious/christian factor is clearly on the table of all this policy. And we know that all the elect will seldom forget to meet the demands of the one who elected them and, in this case, can elect again.
