'He was sent to us': at church rally, evangelicals worship God and Trump

Mod: Do you know anyone who actually 'worships' Donald Trump? That thinks this guy is somehow a God? This just seems so incomprehensible to me.

'He was sent to us': at church rally, evangelicals worship God and Trump (The Guardianlink): They came to pray with their president, though in truth many came just to worship him. Donald Trump’s Friday launch of his so-called “coalition of evangelicals”, an attempt to shore up the support of the religious right ahead of November’s election, had the feel of any other campaign rally, except this time with gospel music.

An estimated 7,000 “supporters of faith” packed the King Jesus international ministry megachurch in Miami to hear the word of the president, and decided that it was good. The Maga hat-wearing faithful cheered Trump’s comments on issues calculated to resonate with his churchgoing audience, including abortion, freedoms of speech and religion, and what he claimed was a “crusade” from Democrats against religious tolerance.

My administration will never stop fighting for Americans of faith,” Trump said at the conclusion of an often freewheeling 75-minute speech. “We will restore the faith as the true foundation of American life.”

Trump also gloated about Thursday’s military strike that took out the Iranian general Qassem Suleimani in Baghdad. “It was flawless strike that eliminated the terrorist ringleader,” he said, insisting the killing would save the lives of “hundreds and hundreds of Americans.

Former Fox News reporter claims that she rejected Trump’s invitation to "kiss": “We’re both married” (Salonlink): A former Fox News reporter claims in a new book that she rejected President Donald Trump’s advances before he won the White House.

Courtney Friel, a former reporter at the network and occasional fill-in host on “Fox & Friends,” said in her upcoming memoir that she turned down Trump’s invitation to come over to his office and “kiss,” according to an excerpt published by The New York Daily News. Friel wrote in her upcoming book, “Tonight At 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News,” that Trump told her she was “the hottest one at Fox News.”

She said Trump called her office a few weeks after she expressed an interest in serving as a judge for his Miss USA pageant.

“Though he said I couldn’t be a judge since I worked at a different network, he did ask me about my career goals and complimented my work at FNC,” she wrote. “Then, out of nowhere, he said: ‘You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss.’”

Friel, who is now an anchor at the Los Angeles station KTLA, said she was “shocked” by Trump’s proposition. “'Donald,' I responded, ‘I believe we’re both married.’ I quickly ended the call,” she wrote.

Friel said the incident “made it difficult for me to report with a straight face on Trump running for president.”
