Since former President Donald J. Trump was shot and injured Saturday, July 13, many people have observed two things: 1) there must be a "dialing back" of the vitriolic rhetoric that has come to characterize this campaign, and 2) the providence of God spared Mr. Trump's life because God is not finished with him and he is slated to help lead America back to its founding ideals. This podcast remembers earlier presidential campaign rhetoric and political violence and considers the idea that God is directly involved with Mr. Trump, including how some of his followers are portraying this idea in social media memes that suggest a "civil religion." It's what conservative historian Mark Lewis calls "'Trump God Syndrome'—the belief that Mr. Trump walks on water and is the only person who can save the universe."
