Iowa pastors denounce ‘God Made Trump’ video

A week ahead of the Iowa Republican caucuses, a new video depicting former president Donald Trump as a messianic figure caused a stir among the Iowa evangelical community.
The video, called “God Made Trump,” was shared by the former president on his Truth Social account Friday morning. In the video, a narrator paraphrases the Bible while describing Trump as “a man who cares for the flock” and “a shepherd to mankind who won’t ever leave nor forsake them.”
“I find it absolutely sickening, period,” said Michael Demastus, pastor of the Fort Des Moines Church of Christ. “Trump is not the Messiah.”
The video was created by Dilley Meme Team, a group of online content creators independent from the Trump campaign, though they work in close contact with it. The group — which calls itself Trump’s Online War Machine — has faced controversy for its vulgar and sexist content.
Demastus, who has called Trump “the most pro-life president we have ever had,” said he is not alone in his disgust of the new video. “Many other evangelical pastors find that video offensive,” he said.
Terry Amann, pastor of the Church of the Way in Des Moines, found the video distasteful. “Christians have no right to be offended by anything since Christ went to the cross totally innocent for us guilty sinners,” he said. “That being said, (the video) demeans Christianity, Trump and the people who made it. It says a lot about the people around Trump and their ‘worldly’ understanding of Christianity.”
Iowa Republicans officially kick off the 2024 election Monday, when they cast votes in the state party’s caucuses. Winning over evangelicals is a requirement for winning the Iowa caucuses; in 2016, the last time there was a competitive Republican primary, more than 60% of Republican caucus participants were evangelicals.
Brenden Dilley throws temper tantrum on his show after Don Jr refused to cite Dilley as the video’s creator

Didn’t god make all of us or am I missing something?
Seems kind of strange to get mad over.
Like for me I’d say it’s silly because god doesn’t exist. But who made Trump to a Christian?

If you believe in God then you have to believe that God uses imperfect people to do His work, but I've never liked the idea of casting Trump as a Messiah figure or crusader for Christ. I think Trump and his people use that when it's convenient.

Was the Trump video better or worse than the DeSantis video? I'm guessing none of them, like myself until you posted it, even know that DeSantis made an almost identical video during his reelection campaign.

Has Trump had his morning BM yet? I figured you would know.

That is not what is being portrayed in Trump's messaging.

I don't think either deserves criticism. They're clever plays on the Paul Harvey piece. And, as someone who can admittedly be overly sensitive to those sorts of things, I don't think either is particularly sacrilegious or crossing a line.

The leftist tried to get us mad at Rush Limbaugh for saying, "Talent on loan from God!"
To non-believers, they just don't understand.

God uses everybody for his purposes. in the book of jeremiah 25:9, in red letters, it says God will send his servant nebuchadnezzar to take the land. i don't think he was a justified man but he was a servant.

Or that god made both of them?

Well I am a non believer.
I just see hypocrisy. These pastors or whatever walk around like they have the Devine right to preach the word of god. Are they not gods children too? Driving expensive cars and living in mansions?
It’s like, frick off with your fake victimhood.

If this offends you then wait to you hear “God made a farmer”.

Good. It's disgusting and disturbing.

I'm not even Christian and I can see why Christians wouldn't like it. It's a mockery of their faith.

If that video offends you then you’re a giant gaping vagina. Literally nothing in it is offensive.
