The Divine Right Of Donald Trump – OpEd

Many people, including President Donald Trump, have been suggesting over the last year that, because Trump survived being shot at during the 2024 presidential campaign, he and the things he does are endorsed by God. Indeed, this week, Trump, speaking with a reporter next to the Air Force One plane, said regarding the shooting that “God was protecting me, maybe because God wanted to see our country do better or do really well, make America great again.” For some Trump supporters there has been an audacity or public relations devotion that urges them to keep asserting that Trump’s brush with death resulted in Trump’s actions thereafter having God’s support. It harkens back to the days when the divine right of kings was asserted. As then, the claim regarding Trump appears to be a self-serving assertion that critically thinking people, if they feel adequately safe from the enforcers of the narrative, will respond to with a smirk and snicker. An example of the Trump miracle talk at near its bluntest was provided this week by United States House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), stating that “God miraculously spared the president’s life” when “multiple assassins tried to kill him.” This divine intervention, Johnson further declared was “undeniably” undertaken by God “for an obvious purpose.” That purpose, Johnson went on to explain as follows: "His presidency and his life are the fruits of divine providence, and he points that out obviously now all the time, and he’s right to do so." The shots were fired at a Trump campaign event one year ago this week. Isn’t this a good time to call it quits on the divine intervention to help Trump make America great again talk that seems better suited for comedy than American politics? It has grown wearisome.
