Lance Wallnau Cackles With Glee That Olympians Who Criticized Trump Were Punished By God

Last night, right-wing preacher Lance Wallnau posted a video on his Facebook page in which he cackled with glee over the fact that several American Olympic athletes who had criticized President Trump failed to win medals, claiming that they were being punished by God.

Reading an article from The Daily Wire that suggested that these athletes had been “cursed” for disrespecting Trump, Wallnau chortled that “it is odd that all these athletes who dissed President Trump went on to lose. Don’t they know by now that if they just support him, they would have so much winning that they’ll get bored with it?”

“This president is anointed,” Wallnau said. “He is anointed and he is appointed and I pray for him because why in the world should he have to suffer this kind of perpetual disrespect and dishonor? He hasn’t done anything. It’s the crazy liberal media, the Democratic media is off it’s flippin’ rocker.”

Wallnau went on to pray that Trump will be protected from the left, which is “volatile and vitriolic and incendiary and insane.”

1. So now God decides who gets medals in the Winter Olympics?

And he does this by awarding them to the athletes who love Trump and taking them from those who criticize him? Better tell that to those socialist, Trump-criticizing Norwegians, who are collecting more medals than they know what to do with.

Btw, Lindsey Vonn got a bronze.

would punish Olympic competitors for criticism would permit the massacre of school students. People who make claims like that are sickand totally devoid of compassion.

Hint: "God" gave athletes from Norway and Germany a lot of medals.
Hint: Most Europeans have disrespected, dissed and bashed Trump either privately or in public in lots of different ways.

I so hate that. He could have said karma or he could have said nothing at all. People who are Christian hate (sorry dislike) people like Wallnau. This is my opinion and has nothing to do with DU
