I woke up very early this morning thinking about this belief that Donald Trump is chosen by god and why they are extremely powerful words. It is an extremely powerful tool for a political party to use. They just have to say this person is chosen by god. It doesn't need to be proven, it can't. People just have to believe. The more who believe the better.
As I was thinking about it, it dawned on me why this is so powerful. It turns an ordinary man into a special man, "one who is chosen by god." It makes him into a god. People will believe what he says because "he is chosen by god." What happens to Yeshua Jesus? He is shoved out of the minds of the people and replaced by this god. They no longer remember Jesus's teachings. They only hear the words of this god.
Jesus said that if you love him then keep or obey His commandments.

John 14:15-21 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, in order that he may be with you forever[a]— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know him.[b] You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.
18 “I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. 19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
Matthew 22:36-40 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
36 “Teacher, which commandment is greatest in the law?” 37 And he said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
