David Brooks: “God is good, omniscient, and omnipotent and yet somehow he seems to want Donald Trump to be re-elected”

  |  July 14, 2024

Current editor Eric Miller often sees things in American culture that others don’t see. That is why he is a great editor. After Thomas Matthew Crook’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Eric sent along this clip from the PBS News Hour.

Listen to New York Times columnist David Brooks at the 9:45 mark of his weekly appearance with The Washington Post’s Jonathan Capeheart. This is roughly 24-hours before the assassination attempt.

Brooks: “I’m mystified…The Republicans are sitting pretty and feeling it…God is good, omniscient, and omnipotent and yet somehow he seems to want Donald Trump to be re-elected because there has just been a string of events that have lined up for Trump, whether it’s DeSantis being a bad candidate, whether it’s the indictments, whether it’s the Democrats imploding in the middle of the Republican convention…Trump”

Add one more to Brooks’ list.
