Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said in an interview last week she believes President Donald Trumps presidency is being used by God to create change and to help teach the United States lessons.
Haley, a former governor for South Carolina, was responding to a question during an interview with CBN News chief political analyst David Brody, which questioned Gods reasoning for making Trump president of the United States.
Brody asked: What is your view kind of spiritually on the sovereignty of God and what he is doing exactly by putting Donald Trump as president of the United States?
Well, I think that it goes to show that everything happens for a reason, and the way I see it is look at the results of Donald Trump as president, Haley replied.
Haley added that Americans should observe, and notice that more friends and family are employed than ever before.
We have the economy moving in a direction it hasnt been in a long time but is doing great.
We are acknowledging real truths with the president that had the courage to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Haley added.
The 47-year-old, who has spoken openly about her Christian faith in the past, said she believes Trump has been very courageous to change what was the status quo and to do it in a way the American people wanted to see it.
They did want a disruptor-in-chief. They did want someone who was going to go against the grain and get us out of our comfort zone.
She added: I think that God sometimes places people for lessons and sometimes places people for change. And you can look at everything that has happened, and I think we are seeing a lot of change, and I think we are gaining a lot of lessons from it as well.
Haleys comments came as outgoing Energy Secretary Rick Perry said he thinks Trump is the chosen one.
Perry made the remarks in an interview released by Fox & Friends over the weekend.
Gods used imperfect people all through history. King David wasnt perfect. Saul wasnt perfect. Solomon wasnt perfect, Perry told Fox News. And I actually gave the president a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings about a month ago, and I shared it with him.
I said, Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the chosen one, and I said, You were.
Perry said theres a plan for the people who rule and judge over us on this planet in our government.
I said, If youre a believing Christian, you understand Gods plan for the people who rule and judge over us on this planet in our government.
Barack Obama didnt get to be the president of the United States without being ordained by God. Neither did Donald Trump.
Regarding Trump, he said, I hope Ive been a bit of a minister, if you will, a person whos been able to share my faith with the president.
Earlier this year amid the trade war, Trump referred to himself as the chosen one to take on Chinas trade practices.
He said: Somebody said this is Trumps trade war. Its not my trade war. This is a trade war that should have taken place a long time ago by a lot of other presidents.
Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one.
Trump later said he was just joking and having fun when he made the comment.
Somebody’s running for President in 2024 :)
Trump was pretty rough on her during the primary, as she did not endorse him and her Lt. Gov. did.
It speaks well of her that she was able to put that aside and work with the president.
“God Using Trumps Presidency...”
Damn, she also knows how to TRIGGER the Left.
Yep. Thatll getem up. :)
Best for politicians not to pretend to know the Lord’s plans for a nation. They’re too wraped-up in their own ambitions.
Lol...my very first thought.
Both Nikki and former energy sec. Rick Perry have made that statement in the last few days. That God is using Mr. Trump.
Noticed that Lee. Happily confused tbh. Not sure what is up with that
*** Somebodys running for President in 2024 :) ***
I wouldn’t vote for her for dogcatcher.
Yup. Talk about kissing the ring and the butt at the same time.
She is up to no good, do not Trust her at all.
She would not know how. “You never caught a rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine.” —Elvis Presley
i... dont... trust... her!!! lol
I will not be voting for any ineligible candidates.
Barack Obama didnt get to be the president of the United States without being ordained by God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He got to be President because BOTH parties wanted the natural born citizen clause neutralized.
Obama is not one and neither is Nikki Haley.
Absolutely correct. Love him or hate him, all "rulers" (i.e. heads of state) are God-ordained for His purpose, even the bad ones to teach us lessons about good leaders and bad leaders. We are commanded to pray for all of them.
The Trump part starts at around: 3:43:
