Wayne Allyn Root’s virulent and vicious hatred of Kamala Harris — in yet another example, he spread the false conspiracy theory that the Biden administration was “offering only $700 of FEMA money to the Hurricane victims” while giving “$20,000 or more to illegal aliens” — was coupled with with his usual gushing sycophancy for Donald Trump. One of those gushes got weirdly offloaded into an Oct. 11 “news” article by Bob Unruh:
A prominent author and broadcast host is telling Christians, and others, quite bluntly that it is President Donald Trump who has been chosen by none other than God to help America at this time in its history.
When it is besieged by communism and Marxism from within, its morality undermined by the agendas of abortion, transgenderism and even child mutilations.
When its leaders have thrown out their responsibility to protect the nation and have opened its borders wide.
“He’s not perfect. He’s not a god. He’s a human, although I believe super-human. But Trump is clearly chosen by God for this role, at this time and place – to save America and make America great again,” explains Wayne Allyn Root in a commentary.
“Like the heroes of the Bible, Trump is a courageous warrior, with a killer instinct, perhaps you might call him a Barbarian, chosen by God to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! And to protect our country, our values, and our childrens’ future.”
[…]“I was reading the Bible this morning and I found the perfect verse that explains the success of Donald Trump… Isaiah 40:30-31. ‘Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.’ It’s almost like God created this verse for Donald Trump and this moment in history.”
He wrote, “God is about miracles. We don’t need a ‘nice guy,’ or a ‘gentleman’ right now. It’s the bottom of the 9th inning and we’re losing 9-0. We need a miracle. I believe Trump is our miracle. I believe Trump is our rowboat…”
Strangely, WND didn’t publish this commentary the article is based on, even though Root is a weekly WND columnist — it appear at the discredited Gateway Pundit.
Root’s Oct. 25 column was self-serving in addition to being Trump-serving:
No one in the history of politics or political media has my background.
Long before I got into politics, I was branded by the national media as “America’s Oddsmaker” and “the King of Vegas Gambling.” CNBC, Fortune and the Wall Street Journal profiled my life. And the Las Vegas Walk of Stars awarded me a 180-pound granite star on world-famous Las Vegas Blvd.
Now my main gig is politics. And I’ve used my unique oddsmaker skills to make literally thousands of predictions on my TV and radio political talk shows over the past decade. I’m batting .999, when all it takes is .333 to get into the Hall of Fame.
So, here is my 2024 presidential prediction.
Which, unsurprisingly, was that Trump was going to win in a landslide. He made his usual fearmongering caveat about the election being “rigged” as an out if he was wrong: “Now only a rigged election can stop Trump from a decisive victory. That’s the only asterisk to my prediction – how big can Democrats rig and cheat and stuff the ballot box with illegal alien voters, dead voters and fake mail-in ballots? My gut says it’s just too big to rig this time.”
Root served up one more round of pre-election Trump sycophancy in his Nov. 1 column:
We’ve all been blessed to be born in the greatest country in the history of civilization. God bless America.
The saying goes, “May you be blessed to live in interesting times.”
We are all blessed to be living through the most interesting times in world history. And we have a rare chance to change our future and make America great again.
Now think about why this is all happening. A simple answer:
President Donald J. Trump.
[…]WE ARE WITNESSING AND LIVING HISTORY.
Four insane indictments, plus absurd civil charges against Trump. Then two convictions with rigged judges and rigged juries, in witch-hunt trials, in a city suffering from severe mental illness called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
And then in response to each indictment and each conviction, Trump goes up in the polls.
Has America ever experienced anything like this in our 248-year existence? Never, not even close. Only Trump.
WE ARE WITNESSING AND LIVING HISTORY.
The iconic images of Trump after an assassination attempt, with blood on his face, his first clenched, screaming the most iconic chant in history, “Fight, Fight, Fight.” Who has ever been shot, and then has the balls and brains at that moment to turn an almost-assassination into a positive political movement? Only Trump.
[…]Trump’s McDonald’s stunt must move out of the way – there is a new leader in the clubhouse. “TRUMP THE TRASH MAN” instantly becomes the new greatest political stunt in history. The hits just keep on coming!
WE ARE WITNESSING AND LIVING HISTORY.
Enjoy it. Feel the excitement. Feel the nervous energy. Feel yourself ALIVE like never before. And understand we will never see anything like this again in our lifetimes.
The saying comes true. We are living in the most interesting times in history.
WE ARE WITNESSING AND LIVING HISTORY.
And there will never be another superhuman hero, and superhuman fighter, and political leader and legend like President Donald J. Trump.
Of course he said that — he was likely bucking for a nomination to a government job if Trump won.
