‘My Pillow’ Guy Says Trump Is ‘The Greatest President in History’ Because ‘He Was Chosen by God’
Mike Lindell, the guy known to TV audiences as the “My Pillow” guy, also happens to be a conservative Christian activist.
During a talk at the right-wing CPAC event this morning, he told the crowd that Donald Trump was “chosen by God” and that’s why he’s so amazing.
Lindell recounted that he had a “divine appointment” with then-candidate Trump in 2016, which he left convinced that “God had chosen him for such a time as this.”
My Pillow's Mike Lindell gets a partial standing ovation. He says that, before Trump came along, "quite frankly, it looked like the end times prophesized in the Bible." He says he knew nothing about politics, but he could sense "something miraculous" was happening with Trump.

“God answered our millions of prayers and gave us grace and a miracle happened on November 8, 2016,” he said. “We were given a second chance and time granted to get our country back on track with our conservative values and getting people saved in Jesus’ name. As I stand before you today, I see the greatest president in history. Of course he is, he was chosen by God.”

Twitter was confused:
I lost all respect for Mike Lindell when I heard this. I will never buy any of his products. I refuse to feed or water the poison tree!

This guy runs a shady company with a track record of cheating his customers with the old bait and switch. The "deal" was toned down to a legitimate offer, but only after it was exposed. And the workers desperately need a union.#NotMyPillow

Michael Cohen is right. If Trump loses in 2020, we won't have a peaceful transition of power. These people are fanatical lunatics and they're armed to the teeth. This whole thing is the monster that the Repubs gave birth to. We're in trouble.

Chosen by God to do what? Destroy America, and contribute to the rise of global authoritarianism? #theuglytruth
