Donald Trump has never believed in God—only in using Him.
On Saturday night, with three Iranian nuclear sites smoldering and 363 civilians eviscerated under American bombs and the world teetering on the edge of a global inferno, Trump stepped before the cameras and performed his most dangerous act yet: a sermon from the throne of a mad king.
“I want to just thank everybody, in particular, God,” he said, voice trembling with artificial piety. “We love you, God.” Then, in a moment of revealing order, he offered his blessings: first to Israel, then to America.
And just like that, with one flick of his reptilian tongue, the bombs became holy. The war became righteous. And the blood became God’s will.
This wasn’t prayer. It was unholy propaganda.
Trump’s relationship with religion has always been a grotesque pantomime: the Bible held upside-down, the Easter Sundays spent on the golf course, the porn-star hush money paid in the same breath as “Two Corinthians.” He has no faith—only leverage. And in 2025, the God he speaks of isn’t the God of mercy or justice. It’s the God of ratings. The God of power. The God of useful illusions.
This week, that illusion became a missile.
Trump bombed Iran. Jesus wept.
And millions cheered—not for peace, but for prophecy.
Because the truth is even uglier than Trump’s hollow faith: he doesn’t have to believe in any of this. They do. His base, his preachers, his apocalyptic cheerleaders. The ones who’ve waited their whole lives for fire in the sky and a mushroom cloud messiah. They don’t want peace. They want rapture. They want to watch the world burn so they can say, “We told you so.”
But invoking God to justify war isn’t just obscene—it’s ancient. It’s what every butcher, tyrant, and coward does when they run out of lies and need something more bulletproof than truth. And Trump, ever the plagiarist of power, now channels George W. Bush’s worst lines: that he was sent by God, spared by God, chosen by God.
God, apparently, has a type: idiot narcissists with nukes.
But let me be clearer than Trump’s fake prayers: God didn’t save Donald Trump. God didn’t tell him to bomb Iran. God doesn’t endorse war crimes or sociopaths. This isn’t divine will.
We are being marched toward annihilation by a man who thinks “faith” means flattery, who uses God’s name the way he uses women, laws, and truth: briefly, brutally, and without the faintest trace of reverence.
When Trump says “God bless Israel,” he doesn’t mean it. When he says “God bless America,” he doesn’t care. And when he says “We love you, God,” what he really means is: Worship me.
So here’s my benediction:
Trump is not God’s servant. He is what the Bible warned us about.
And if there’s any justice left in heaven or on earth, he will not be remembered as a savior, but as the liar who damned us all.
Amen.
An Open Letter from George W. Bush to Donald J. Trump About Ignoring the Truth, Starting a War, and Somehow Making W. Look Smart
“From One War Criminal to Another: I Lied Us Into War. You Bombed Because You’re Stupid.” A fact-free strike on Iran that ignored intelligence, defied diplomacy, and may ignite the next global war.
Is he not the most hypocritical, lying person you've ever met? Given how many of the 10 Commandments he's broken, hasn't been to church on a Sunday on his own in decades, is an extremely cruel, nasty person, etc., now using God as a prop to make everyone believe that he now believes in God.
The really scary part is that MILLIONS of people fall for his bullsh*t day after day after day... those people are every bit as scary as Donnie boy, the fakest Christian on Earth. They might even be scarier, they walk among us , at least Donnie boy is not wandering around on the streets or out mowing his lawn or going to the nearest diner for a burger. Very scary indeed. I have always been grateful to be Canadian but never more so than since Donald was voted into the WH. And the fact that Americans voted for him even after his instigation of the Jan 6th Insurrection AND a CONVICTION for RAPING E, Jean Carroll is mind numbing. He was buddy buddy with Epstein... anyone who thinks he didn't have sex with any underaged girls and is a disgusting child molester like Epstein, has a couple of screws loose.
I am completely with you, Gail, but as I have responded to a number of people who tend to commiserate with our current situation and misfortune: Never underestimate the ignorance and stupidity of the American voter, KNOWING what occurred on Jan 6th. If people don't wake up and send a strong message in next year's mid-terms, then I may be at a loss for ideas.
So now I suppose he is going to insist he gets that Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war he helped start, and he will throw a Baby Trumpertantrum unit he gets it.
Fortunately a group of very intelligent people who are fully aware of the worlds situation would never in a thousand years nominate Trump. That he even suggests they could do so prove how competely clueless and out of touch he is.
tRump is seriously messed up in the head, always trying to make himself out to look like the hero in situations he, himself, caused. And he thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? Ha, he's far more apt to get a Darwin Award than any peace prize. Dream on, asswipe!

President Obama authorized the 2011 NATO-led intervention in Libya with U.S. airstrikes, without congressional approval. He expanded drone strikes against terrorists in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia, using the 2001 AUMF for justification. In 2014, he conducted airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, without seeking new approval. He did not seek congressional consent for the operation that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 2, 2011. President Biden has also authorized airstrikes: in Syria against Iranian-backed militias in February 2021 and in Yemen against Houthi targets in January 2024, both without congressional approval, citing Article II.
I support America's efforts to dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities, but Donald Trump's bellicose rhetoric put this mission and all of us in more danger. I would give my right arm to prevent another attack like 9/11, and this mission had that opportunity to keep the world safer, but he blew it. With the current administration's approach, I can't help but think, God help us all.
Yes Obama did order all of that but it wasn't brought up much by the Republicans in opposition. I'm always looking at each of these cases that people bring up and my mind goes to what you brought up, the 9/11 attacks. I believe the mood at the time was to eradicate Al-queda and then later ISIS so for those of us that can recall the 1970 middle eastern terrorist attacks and sky jacking's that were occurring on an ever increasing basis. The first World Trade center bombing, in the early 90's, and so on. These terrorist groups and individuals were investigated and hunted by all of the world's Law Enforcement agencies. So when Obama did these operations I'm thinking the house and senate were just more supporting than the time of all Donald's constant demonizing of this group,or the Democrats, the to divide us and the world's intense conspiracy fascination at the time during Covid, and the way the Republicans caused so much craziness in the house with tweedle dee and tweedle dum MTG and Bobert, and the "Freedom Caucus" constant high school high links, nothing that the Dems could do would've been right. That's just what Donald orchestrates.
There was a time when Ds and Rs would support the President on foreign policy and most efforts were supported in a bipartisan way for the good of the country. Donald has devolved us into a new low of chaos and cruelty where he went out of his way to destroy everything Obama and Biden accomplished no matter the cost to us. However the Dems and their constituents are held to a higher standard and their focus on just attacking everything Trump does has failed us for ten years. It’s simply not working. What will work is to show the country we have better ideas, better polices both foreign and domestic, and a better path forward. Just battling it out in the media is a lose lose path and Donald is the greatest counter puncher I have ever seen which is why nothing sticks to him. Reminding Americans of all the success and prosperity we take for granted in this country actually came from the Democrats since FDR in 1932. Thank you for your reply.
What on Earth is Theo talking about. My pride in America was strong, its freedoms, Trump is ending that. I truly think these podcasters are all just spewing nonsense. What was he talking about with refill our hearts with blood? I honestly don't know what these people are on about. So, they didn't have 'blood' in their hearts pumping for America when a black man ran and won or when a woman ran. But TRUMP the liar and adjudicated sex assaulter gets their blood going.
All of this is the result of bazillions of people calling him TACO. I knew it wouldn't take long for him to do something awful to show that he isn't a chicken.
He's still TACO...He has the authority to instigate wars and have millions of innocent people killed but he's still a yellow bellied coward... he hasn't got the guts to go to war himself... bone spurs my ass..
Donald isn't legally President. The Constitution specifically excludes insurrectionists, and people who give aid and comfort to insurrectionists.
The problem isn't just that good people try to do the right thing. It's that they don't avail themselves of all legal means possible to stop evil.
When this all came up for a vote in Congress on January 6th, 2025, the Democrats abandoned democracy and allowed Donald's Electoral Votes to go unchallenged. Someone who isn't legally permitted to take office cannot be elected.
What do these people plan to do in 2029, when the Republicans run a guy who wasn't even born in the U.S.? Suppose they finagle the Electoral Vote to favor him. Are Democrats going to say, "Hey! He's not qualified!"
They might, but Republicans are going to laugh at them. They are going to reply, "When did you guys start caring about that? We got Donald J. Trump, felon, in office, even though he participated in an insurrection and aided insurrectionists. Heck, he told them he loved them! How much more comfort could have have given them?"
We need to be far more aggressive in our defense of democracy and the rule of law. And that goes for judges, too. If the Executive people try to stiff the Judicial people, fine them for contempt and take it directly out of their bank accounts. Order the banking system to turn over the money.
"America First" was just a slogan. TACO is doing whatever he wants to for HIMSELF! Especially since the "TACO" name has been put on him and his approval rating is sinking like the Titanic.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) keeps track of everything Iran does with nuclear material. They have inspectors on the ground that monitor the location of Iranian uranium stockpiles. Iran has to account for every ounce there is and where it's being stored. The inspectors physically verify it. That includes known equipment used to refine uranium.
So, when Iran emptied the Fordow and Natanz facilities of everything weeks ago, inspectors were there in person to see it.
Trump has bombed at least two completely empty locations, that have already been bombed several times by Israel. That's why the facilities were evacuated weeks ago.
Now, Trump has also told everyone in Tehran to get out. Why? Because, that's where an active nuclear plant operates.
Any action against the Tehran Nuclear Research Reactor could have severe consequences, potentially for large areas of the city of Tehran and its inhabitants. A direct hit could result in a very high release of radioactivity to the environment and neighboring countries.
If the supply of electrical power to the reactor is disrupted, it could cause its core to melt as water pumps will stop and control to move the uranium rods will be lost. This will result in a Chernobyl like situation that will be as difficult to stop.
In both scenarios, evacuations and sheltering of the population, with the need to take stable iodine, will need to happen. Radiation monitoring would need to cover distances of several hundred kilometres and food restrictions may need to be implemented for a long time.
Trump and his regime are idiots that don't understand the gravity of anything they are doing.

Trumpertantrum !! I love it lol
I was just about to make that comment and observation! From far away the “man” looks to be increasingly unstable and demented!
I doubt very much if the Nobel Prize committee would even consider someone with his s character.
He has character???
That was the best emotional support moment! Thank you, Mary.
It is ridiculous that Donald expects positive recognition by fucking things up more.
tRump is seriously messed up in the head, always trying to make himself out to look like the hero in situations he, himself, caused. And he thinks he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? Ha, he's far more apt to get a Darwin Award than any peace prize. Dream on, asswipe!

All evidence to the contrary.

It is grotesque. It is demeaning. Equal rights? We have no rights under this regime.
NO We can never take trump and his cult at their word it’s predicated on lies and no respect for anyone or anything.
I think you’re awesome Mary I love listening to you. Keep it up please.
The love of Trump proves so many people never read the Bible.
Amen!🙏

Thanks. When you have time, will you please talk about when your book with E. Jean and Jen will be released?
