To what end? I agree though, I could give probably a hundred examples of religious figures going back at least two years indicating that Trump is God’s chosen one. He has been compared to Old Testament Kings, and a significant portion of his supporters believe he will start the apocalypse.
That’s a good question. The way I rationalized it, is that it’s one giant, elaborate game by the PTB. To me, this further lends weight to the argument that the embassy move was meant to take place at the moment that it did (in 2018, on Israel’s 70th anniversary), despite some people believing that previous presidents just sat on their hands, merely reluctant.
The embassy move was a big deal, most especially to the evangelical crowd because of the eschatological undertones. So, naturally the person (Trump, in this case) who would make that a reality has to be portrayed as some sort of ‘anointed of God’. This, despite the fact that Trump doesn’t come across as a religious person and I’ve only seen one incidence of him on the campaign trail, in church wielding a bible. Or the fact that his speech at AIPAC, where he made that promise, was written by pretty much AIPAC.**
Some of the policies
in regard to the Israel-Palestine question are, simply put, unpalatable so the average televangelist is called upon to sell the policy from the pulpit, to make it more palatable. Some of those mega pastors are spooks,^^ and the nexus of politics, intelligence and religion is real and goes back decades. In a previous post, I said that the embassy move was as much political as it was religious. And
I don’t think its by accident that he’s being portrayed that way. I just think that some of his future policies for the MiddleEast demand that a significant portion of the population be conditioned to view him as some sort of Messiah and your average televangelist is on hand and is well suited to do the conditioning.

The speeches of speakers at AIPAC are said to be written by "AIPAC"and it
wasn't any different with Trump's. (Religion and Politics collide)
Edit: A while back, you posted a Patheos link and i followed it and found this in another article, that sure made me chuckle:
"You claimed Barack Obama’s election was the result of evil forces, but the minute Trump was sworn into office you started quoting verses about how “God picks a nation’s kings and queens.”
