RNC midterms convention video: ‘God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God gave us Trump’

Republicans have good reason to fear the November midterms. Current projections have Democrats comfortably taking the House, with the Senate also very much in play. As GOP strategist Alex Patton admitted over the summer: “In private, when the microphones are off, most read the tea leaves and whisper, ‘It’s going to be a bad night.’”

As such, the convention was full of big promises and bluster, like Donald Trump promising $5,000 for every American adult in the event of Republican victories, his promise that the war with Iran will end “immediately” after a Republican victory, and a plea to voters to “pretend I’m on the ballot.”

Despite his record-low approval ratings, Trump himself was front-and-center throughout the convention. But arguably the most eye-brow raising moment of the convention came in a Messianic video explaining to those present that Trump had been personally sent by God to save us all.

“Gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild”

In an ominous AI-generated voice, the American Airlines Center in Dallas was told: “On June 14th 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’ so God gave us Trump.” The video continued, praising Trump’s apparently superhuman work ethic:

“I need somebody willing to get up before dawn. Fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state, so God made Trump. I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle the deep state and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild.”

For the record, there is no evidence that Trump played a role in the delivery of any of his 11 grandchildren. The video continued making grandiose claims, like that Trump is someone that can “shape an axe but wield a sword,” “make money from the tar of the sand,” and “turn liquid to gold.”

Underlining once again how much Trump works, the video claims that Trump finishes his “40 hour work week by Tuesday noon.” Mathematicians among you will note that there are only 36 hours between midnight on Monday and noon on Tuesday.

Then, it’s claimed that Trump goes on to “put in another 72 hours”, presumably across the rest of the week. This adds up to a 112 hour work week, which if true really is strenuous given that there are only 168 hours in a week. This also makes it particularly impressive that Trump still finds so much time for golf.

Christians in the replies don’t seem happy with the assertion that Trump was placed on Earth by God. One said: “This is sick. God sent Trump to test the modern Christian church. The modern Christian church failed the test and will face God’s eternal wrath” and another, “I believe the word for this is BLASPHEMY!!”

Many others emphasize that this feels more like something you’d expect to see from a cult than a political party: “It’s a freaking cult. I don’t know how the cultists don’t see this,” and that “this is like a Saturday morning cartoon caricature of a cult.” As of writing, it’s not clear who created the video or arranged for it to be screened as part of the convention.
