He does figure briefly in the discussion at the end and doesn't qualify for the full treatment yet as he's a dictator-in-waiting. In any case what is there to say about McDonald's? The man is as boring and tasteless as he is appaling.

- yoyohello13 4mo agoIt is disconcerting that a large portion of people (many in government) actually believe Trump was appointed by God to lead the United States. If any US president could become a dictator, it's him, and I don't blame people for being worried.
- brightball 4mo agoThe people who believe that believe that every US President is appointed by God. This is a very common Christian view and there’s nothing special about Trump in this regard. By the same token, Biden and Obama were also. It’s an interesting subject.
- AnimalMuppet 4mo agoThey should. I'm not sure that they all do. Around Trump's inauguration, I heard people making the "Trump appointed by God" statement as if he were uniquely appointed by God - as if he was different from Biden and Obama. Now, that's not Christian theology. The Christian position is as you stated. And second, the "Trump uniquely" thing is (almost certainly) not the position everybody who believes or says that Trump was appointed by God. But the prominent people, the ones being quoted, sure sounded like they believed "Trump uniquely", which is a distinctly non-Christian position.
- holistio 4mo agoI believe there are two scenarios possible. Your kindergarten teacher and D.J. Trump (and Obama, et al) were all appointed in their roles by God. Or neither. I don't think the president is one bit more important or special than any of the teachers I've had. I know he does think so, but that's his business, not mine.
