In my view, this helps explain how MAGAs literally think of Trump the way they think of God.
God is anything you want him to be. People freely point to certain Bible verses to support their point of view and conveniently ignore or eschew others. And conservatives aren’t alone in doing this: liberal Christians freely eschew biblical dictates to murder their unmarried daughters in public for losing their virginity, avoid wearing clothes made of both linen and wool, and pierce their slave’s ear if he demands freedom.
So when someone like this fellow says he believes Trump was going take a fine tooth comb and make surgical cuts to make government somewhat more efficient, instead of taking a wrecking ball to it, he is disregarding what Trump himself said on the campaign trail he would do, and what the Project 2025 he was obviously so entwined with said he would do, and choosing instead to believe what the fantasy Trump in his head would do, simply because that what this voter himself would have done.
Now multiply that times millions of MAGAs who are about to have the leopard they voted for eat their faces.
It’s this kind of thinking that has led Trump to believe he really is our god. No wonder he’s acting like it.
