Trump is favoured by the devil, not God.
It's the irony not misery that's funny, considering how he and his followers have been downplaying and dismissive toward the pandemic and preventative measures.Let's not laugh at other's misery. None of us are free of evil, we could be next.
May God safeguard us
I'm excited to see the implications of the election tbh, if anyone knows any links to really knowledgeable political commentaries or experts weighing in. Still very breaking but still
The God I believe in fights against evil, and Trump is pure evil, so its not surprising that God might be punishing him.
Wouldn't it be more efficient for God to infect the devil, instead? Or just get rid of him, basically. He seems to prefer making things more complicated beyond rational necessity.Trump is favoured by the devil, not God.
Trump should have learnt the lesson 'Do no harm' long ago - but he didn't. Which is why so many detest him.If there was one rule "do no harm" then I am fine with seeing suffering so long as it's not me?
Yes, karma. Hope he get really sick I am sorry to say.
His mishandling of the pandemic was a major factor in his poor polling numbers. So, this has to hurt him badly, IMO.I'm excited to see the implications of the election tbh, if anyone knows any links to really knowledgeable political commentaries or experts weighing in. Still very breaking but still
But Boris was/is nowhere hated as much as Trump is. Who knows how all this will play out.In the UK, when the Prime Minister got COVID he got a big jump in popularity.
Unless he dies/gets so sick he can't run, hard to see how this could harm Trump electorally.
He recovers quickly: narrative that he's tough and we can beat COVID, America bouncing back, resilience, etc.
He gets quite sick then recovers: sympathy vote, can't criticise him, people rally round the office of President out of patriotism, etc.
All the gleeful 'ha-ha' type messages might well push some undecideds away from the side sending them.
Careful what you wish for lest it come true...
If it helps him win 4 more years, will that mean your god forgot to fight against evil in this case? or that Trump isn't evil and was Divinely favoured? or will it be quietly swept under the carpet?
A deity manufactured from the pareidolia of the credulous.Seriously? What kind of divine being would try to communicate by causing certain people to catch an already widespread infectious disease?
Enh. People tend to have Gods that agree with them, and schadenfreude is a pretty normal reaction to hearing about the misfortune of an awful person.And what kind of person would venerate and worship such a being? The entire idea is psychotic!
Exactly what evil has this prevented?The God I believe in fights against evil, and Trump is pure evil, so its not surprising that God might be punishing him.
I just noticed that this was in the Religious section...
So for me this leads to another question...
Let's play devil's advocate and say like the TV preacher personalities try to sell, that Trump is favored by God.
Would God give a favored person COVID, or not?
CNN reports from Trump's own tweets, is this a sign from God??

Yes. Of course.That would mean that those who tested negative for COVID can still get it?
In what way is it fishy?They did say those in the debate and audience everyone were tested. That. And why "conveniently" after the debate?
Something's fishy.
I think it's plausible that he could try to spin this if he ends up not having severe symptoms - or if he's lying - to either portray himself as a tough guy, or to argue that COVID-19 isn't that big a deal (and therefore that his crappy response to COVID-19 isn't a huge blunder that didn't cost countless lives).He might recover just fine - at least in a medical sense. But this will further tarnish
him politically as he himself has fallen victim to something he once dismissed.
Setting aside the fact that Trump can't be trusted, can you think of a reason that he might have for lying?I think it's entirely possible that Trump really has COVID-19. I think it's also entirely possible that he's lying.
