Donald Trump thinks he’s the “chosen one”.

On trade that is.

According the the White House press pool, as Trump was leaving the White House on Wednesday for a fundraiser in Kentucky, Trump remarked that he is the “chosen one” to take on China in the trade war.

Yes, really.

Twitter was shocked, but not surprised:

What a moment.

President Trump on the WH lawn just looked up to the sky and said, “I am the chosen one.”

He was talking about the trade war with China and repeated his claim that he needs to take on China for unfair trading practice.

Earlier today Trump said he was the "King of Israel" and just now he said he was "The Chosen One" to take on China.

“I am the chosen one,” Trump says, looking up at the sky.

He said someone had to take on China on their unfair trade practices and he’s the one. https://t.co/MQlSgzpszC

I'm starting to view the entire Trump Presidency as an end of days cult. Or worse, a coalescing of the many disparate end of days cults that currently exist into a mega cult. And Trump has absolutely become that scammer cult leader who has bought into his own bullshit. https://t.co/j7jQQIRRe1
