Donald Trump claims "Our God Saves"......

HousePlantQueen

Anyone else notice that his two self serving sons were at his side, but Melania is nowhere to be seen?

Just as well as Barron may have been there too.

Whatever people think, that would be a frightening thing for his youngest son to witness.

And "Our God" didn't save the man who died protecting his family.

And he claims Biden has lost the plot!!

Trump never found it in the first place.

There’s something evangelical about these Trump rallies. They remind me of Billy Graham back in the day.

They issued a statement from her which, imo was not written by her.

To be fair, there are many differences in Christian beliefs in the USA - its a certain right wing evangelical tendency we're seeing here, but a very strong one in parts of the USA.

I don't believe for one second that Trump believes in god or that god saved him. I think he just says he does because his followers tend to be fully paid up members of the god squad.

Even more deluded and dangerous now.

sorry to keep on about it - but I truly believe it's dangerous when a leader claims, God on my side.
I am reminded of Cromwell's famous words,
It's an odd thing, Mr. Ireton. Every man who wages war believes God is on his side. I'll warrant God should often wonder who is on his.

Yes, very understandable she wouldn't want to talk to Biden.

As regards Trumps' words

Farzanah I don’t think I’d like such a God either. As an Atheist, I’m not likely to be meeting him/her/it.

Of course, I do respect others’ right to believe in a God … it’s just not for me.

I think the widow wouldn't talk to Biden because her husband was a Republican

Yes, that is the case Josesnn. In the article the widow is quoted as saying that her husband was a staunch republican and he would not have wanted her to speak to Jo Biden.

Funny how God chose to intervene to save one individual but not to save thousands of those, arguably more deserving, including children in war zones.

I don’t think I’d like such a God (if I ever meet him/her/it).

* out of the picture

I think Trump worded that poorly.
I think the widow wouldn't talk to Biden because her husband was a Republican.
I think Melania is well off put of the picture, as was Victoria Starmer. I wish Mrs. Biden would do the same, as did Mrs. Sunak.

The article adds, “I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden. I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics.

“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” she added. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

Thanks for the source Wyllow. It’s a shame the widow felt she couldn’t speak with Biden, but at least he contacted her - which is more than Trump did.

A very sad situation.

Trump’s relief must be huge. I can understand his relief it must be immense.

I cannot believe he won’t have contacted the widow (? source)and the family of the man who lost his life in the shooting. In fact I’d go as far as to say that family will be well supported by DT.

Funny old God that saves Trump but allows babies to die.

The randomness in life eh? Trump relieved and yet another family who were sitting just behind Trump are devastated today.

To go to source:
the widow said:

She said the former president has not reached out — but Biden’s call wasn’t welcome

Donald Trump cares for no-one but himself. He's said before that he doesn't care about the people he just wants their vote. President Biden rang Mrs Comperatore to offer his condolences but Trump hasn't.

Yes: the Telegraph reported

"“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” he [Trump] said."

What delusions of grandeur the man has - what about Corey Comperatore and those injured!

He just doesn't seem to get that be saying God saved him he's also saying that God chose not to save the man who died trying to protect his family.

And "Our God" didn't save the man who died protecting his family.
