Franklin Graham: ‘God Saved Trump’

On the final night of Trump con aka the Republican National Convention, evangelical huckster Franklin Graham prayed for Donald Trump. “God spared his life”, he said alluding to the assassination attempt on his Orange Messiah five days earlier.

The last night of the convention featured the likes of ageing wrestler Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, dumb-ass Kid Rock, and the aforementioned Franklin Graham. “Birds of a feather flock together.”

As Graham surveyed the sea of white Republicans with their red MAGA hats, he pandered to the audience by proclaiming that “God spared Trump.”

Trump’s prayer is wrong on so many levels. In the first place, what was a “man of God” doing praying for an amoral psychopath, in a political convention that demonized immigrants, Democrats and trans people?

To say that the Almighty altered the trajectory of a bullet to save the life of a convicted felon, serial adulterer, rapist, pathological liar, fraudster, and raving lunatic is to impugn the character and wisdom of God.

If God saved the steaming pile of human shit known as Trump but allowed a bullet to explode the head of a volunteer firefighter who shielded his family with his own body, then I do not want anything to do with Franklin Graham’s God.

A true man of God, a genuine prophet would have attended the Republican National Convention only to pray that Trump and his supporters would repent from their wickedness.
