#Egypt has the Muslim Brotherhood and the #US has the Christian Brotherhood:

- 45% of Republicans believe that God wanted Trump to be president
- 55% of white evangelical Protestants said that God endorsed Trump.

Do you believe God wanted Trump to be president? #USA

77% of evangelicals identify as Republican, a gap of 59 points from those who identify as Democrats. #USA

I am pretty sure that many of those Republicans who believe God wanted Trump to become president also believe there is a Muslim Brotherhood plot to impose Sharia in the US and yet do not see they are mirror images, and that those same Republicans do not see their own zealotry.

How do you convince the 45% of Republicans who believe that God wanted Trump to become president to stop supporting Trump? They won’t and they don’t and polls consistently show that no matter how heinous his policies or words, they continue to support him. #USA

And as I have said over and over, evangelicals have MUCH MORE power than ghe Muslim Brotherhood ever could have dreamed of. When you talk of political Islam & the Muslim Brotherhood, always talk about political Christianity and ghe Christian Brotherhood.
