Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they need to “tone down their rhetoric.”
This is absolute nonsense (by this reasoning any time you fight against a president you're fighting against the plan of God), but it's also dangerous nonsense. Trump is plainly absorbing the idea that God's on his side -- and he already had a grandiose sense of self.
Paula White comparing the president to Jesus was met with applause.
