Trump posted a version of Paul Harvey's famous "So God Made a Farmer" video in which HE is the subject. It's just as weird and messianic as you'd think.

Former President Donald Trump is now at the “go to any lengths necessary” stage of his public career to get attention. To wit? He just posted a satirical version of Paul Harvey’s famous “So God Made a Farmer” video in which HE is the subject.

And yes, it’s just as creepy and a messianic bit of messaging that will cause many to cringe but others to fall to their knees in supplication.

The former president shared the video on his Truth Social account and was included in a slew of “joking but not joking” and over-the-top political videos for which Trump is known.

    I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle the deep state, and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to ruffle the feathers. Tame the cantankerous World Economic Forum. Come home hungry. Have to wait until the First Lady is done with lunch with friends. Then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon and mean it. So God gave us Trump.

    Does this mean Satire is dead? It reads like the Onion and the Babylon Bee had a baby, but the toddler writing this is apparently Trump himself.

    I don’t even know what “deliver his own grandchild” even means. Are we sure he didn’t mean “father his own grandchild”?

      Even if they didn’t mean ‘father his own grandchild,’ are we to believe that Trump watched as a baby came out of his daughter’s vagina? Because bigly if true.

        Ah. It came directly from the Paul Harvey speech:

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_God_Made_a_Farmer

        I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife’s done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it.

        So it’s not even satire, it’s a dumb copy

          So Paul Harvey was also kind of sick and twisted is what you’re saying. (I already knew this.)

          Ironic. The farmers I personally know really dislike the hundreds of thousands of dollars Trump recently cost them via his misrule.

          But read the title, “So God made a farmer”. The fact that farmers aren’t ready to fight someone over this.

          If some one came after tubby middle aged nerds like that I’d… eat a donut so angrily.

      It really does read like it’s straight out of The Onion. I love how God is so involved in US politics.
