No, you are the one arguing. I’m simply stating two facts.
One: Q said POTUS is our savior.
Two: that is not language that I’ve ever heard any Christian use.

You really are determined to see only your own point of view aren’t you? This is why it’s not a discussion. And for what it’s worth, I am a Christian and I believe that the Lord is using Trump to clean out the cesspool of wickedness. I believe he is a military savior. So there!

Keep in mind that “Savior” and “savior” are not necessarily the same thing, just as “God” and “god” are fundamentally different.

Ahhhhh. “A” is steadfast but “B” is stubborn. What a handy way to construe reality!

Most of the better Christians I've been closest to tend to avoid such a metaphor ... most of the time. I have heard it maybe several dozen times in my life--by Christians--genuine Christians--as a metaphor. And Qx and I have heard it in psychological discussions--even by Christians--a fair amount. NO ONE involved or looking on assumed the one using the metaphor really thought XYZ meant to replace Christ as a person's savior.
Rescuing someone from breaking through the pond ice or from a burning building makes "A" the savior of "B" and may be called so. No one assumes "B" suddenly replaces Jesus with "A" as their eternal savior.
