Trump Shares Fan's Claim of Being Chosen by God

Former President Donald Trump recently shared a fervent fan rant on social media, which included the assertion that “WE ARE WITNESSING THE POWER OF GOD” in relation to himself, alongside a reference to a QAnon codeword. This post comes at a time when Trump appeared to be gaining momentum in the political arena, particularly following President Joe Biden's announcement that he would not seek a second term. Trump's rising popularity was further fueled by Biden's debate performance, which led to speculation about the President's viability as a candidate. However, Trump's trajectory took a dramatic turn after he was injured in a shooting on July 13, an event characterized by many as an assassination attempt. This incident generated a wave of media sympathy, with commentators suggesting that Trump had undergone a transformation in light of the attack. Despite this narrative, his subsequent speech at the Republican National Convention, where he announced Senator JD Vance as his running mate, raised questions about the authenticity of this perceived change. In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump reverted to his pre-shooting persona, launching scathing attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, President Biden, and the media. His return to bombastic rhetoric was underscored by his acknowledgment of a fan's overzealous rant, which included a nod to QAnon. The Anti-Defamation League noted that the phrase “NCSWIC,” shorthand for “Nothing Can Stop What is Coming,” reflects a belief among QAnon followers that a reckoning for the so-called Deep State is imminent.
