Trump shares a video declaring that God 'chose' him. Some pastors disturbed by it.

Trump shared a video which claimed that he was chosen by God. Some evangelicals voiced concern about it.

I wish this 'God Made Trump' video was a parody, but it's not. Trump shared it and now some evangelicals are very disturbed by it

For those who don't have the temperament to look at the video and stomach it's many lies:

The video describes Trump's supposed strengths, including his "arms strong enough to rustle the Deep State and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild." It's not clear which of his grandchildren Trump is meant to have delivered. The video also describes Trump as a workaholic who worked all hours of the night while president. His work ethic was a source of debate during his time in office, particularly after his private schedules were leaked, showing that half of his scheduled time was unstructured. The video also claimed that Trump attended church services every Sunday despite no evidence of this.

I don't know why evangelicals are disturbed by it. They eagerly supported a bigoted demagogue with a huge ego and no sense of self-awareness or shame. What did they expect to happen? And if he is officially deemed as the front-runner, they'll still support him. Hell, some of them already do.
