Only chosen by fools and extremists.
Though they seem worryingly plenty in number, both in the US for Trump and here in the UK for the likes of Farage....these people don't even have to be subtle or covert in their monstrous behaviour/rhetoric yet to their supporters they remain all but beyond reproach!
Hi Geoff - so you're giving him your endorsement then.
@@stewie7338 Nah. I see no merit in fashy crooks.
The mystery is why so many people seem to think he is speaking for them when he quite clearly doesn't give a damn about anyone except Donald Trump.
He speaks like an idiot, not for them.
sadly its because they see himself in him, the bits that they dont want to accept as being part of them. Well all have trumps inside, but usually learn some humility in childhood that keeps that in check or transforms it into something better.
He has said at one of his rallies that he didn’t care about them, he said he only wanted their votes. It’s his words, “ I don’t care about you but I need your votes”. Makes me ill!
it's not a mystery at all, you just don't know how much support Trump has, it's a lot more than your echo chamber tells you. millions and millions more, and that my learned friend is what you call democracy.
@@SlurpentisCEO We know he still has support. We find it astounding, given that he treats his own supporters like they're stupid but some of us know, they see themselves in him, not that they ought to be trusted to be in charge of anything.
Trump should be kept far away from any power and responsibility
copy cat lol.
...and the BIG RED 🔴 ☢️ BUTTON 🤔
Especially around women that are vulnerable.
@@perryvalton3296 ...in reality anyone 🤔
@9:46 _"He sees himself as chosen not to serve, but to be served, . . . not to protect but to benefit"_
You really nailed it there. 👏👏👏
I’m not voting for Trump never did and never will. Vote 🗳️ Blue 💙
He is going to be the chosen one if he drops that bar of soap in prison!!!!!
😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ops!
Trump is WEIRD.
That’s right, John, because what we’re looking through here is a portal into the mind of a false messiah, and that’s always going to be weird at the very least.
@@GeorgeGeorgeOnly I hope harris drops that word a few times tonight.
@@JayDeeChannel Agreed! She should.
Good luck, America!🤞🙏
@@JayDeeChannel Trump is allegedly EXTREMELY MENTALLY ILL. He seems to be a pathological liar, malignant narcissist and alternating psychopath with sociopath.
Well said indeed!
So many great topics to discuss here. Thank you. His declarations are quite ridiculous. It’s become an interesting, scary time for many of us here. Especially if you are anything OTHER than a white, cis, male, Christian. VOTE!!!
Trump wants to be considered a King 😂😂😂
A President is an elected King of fixed duration.
@@stephfoxwell4620a president is not a king. The president serves. A king is served.
King dong😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂king don un😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never !!....
Sadly the US Supreme Court has allegedly willfully helped to make Trump or and future US President a Dictator-like figurehead. Hopefully Trump will not get the second chance to experience the newly minted Presidential Powers afforded the Presidency by the SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ⚖. We, as Americans, can only pray 🙏 with Wisdom that all future Presidents 🙏 have a good moral backbone and a full-on measure of leadership skills... something Trump allegedly was completely void of having.
Anakin Skywalker thought he was The Chosen One too and look what happened to him.
RIP James Earl Jones
1931- 2024.
At least he had that deep booming voice, that will be very much missed. RIP Vader
Millions of Americans believe he is the second coming - that's damn scarey.
It's actually blasphemous for the Christians who haven't failed the test and understand his Con.
Thank you
If wou wanted to raise red flags regarding malignant narcissism this one is the pinnacle.
Hi Ivan - I have some considerable expertise/experience on that subject and no he isn't. You want an example on that front it would be the current UK PM
@@stewie7338 That is not an argument.
@@ivanconnolly7332 Hi Ivan - So you make a statement/argument which is in your mind 100% valid. I then make the exact same statement/argument but with a different example telling you I have considerable expertise/experience and to you it is 100% invalid.
That is Cluster B thinking my friend. So lets amend Trump isn't and a better example would be Ivan rather than the current UK PM.
Ask your doctor.
@@ivanconnolly7332 What a bizarre reply.
Wise chosen words coming from you. May the blessings of higher forces be upon you.
Wonderful commentary. Loved listening to you. The chosen one - ha! Such condensation. A half wit common sense wise, could not put a sentence that is grammatically correct, has no clue of academics, is useless even in the field economics. You eluded absolutely with precision the order of”the chosen one”. I truly gain so much from hearing your commentary most importantly my information is enhanced from hearing your historic tracings, your deductive capabilities and the fact you truly live by your academic prowess that I admire most. I would have loved to have attended your lectures. Truly a great analysis of the man in question. A man of no substance and carries no value because he can offer none. Great analysis of qualities of this shabby man. Loved your quote of squeezing a square peg in a round hole. You made your whole rhetoric on Trump’s mundane, minuscule attributes a useless collection of qualities that is fodder for the birds. Your disdainful comments were so spot on and I loved hearing them emphasize more and more of his in-capabilities as you went on. All I can say is thank you Professor Wilson. Each time I listen to you, I broaden my horizons, a feather in your cap. Cheers!
You say it well Professor Tim.
Every word you said was correct, and I could not have put it better myself. When I heard he declared himself as 'the chosen one,' I thought, here we go again. I am sure he sees himself as a god demanding to be worshipped. He is using words that people like; he is selling himself like some QVC product, and the masses are being sucked into his nastiness, hate and more. Also, his language towards his opponent, Harris, is disgusting. It would be a sad day if the USA voted him back in. Thank you, Tim, for all your videos!
The chosen one became Darth Vader and murdered billions.
You do realise that Star wars didn't happen in real life?
A bit like your analogy.
Guess the evangelistic republicans aren’t listening very well but blindly following along. Scary.
Hi Judy - what do you think is the scariest thing about the Left. What cohorts within its ranks trouble you?
He failed to grasp the burden of responsibility in his tiny hands, hands more used for the inappropriate touching of recipients who'd rather not receive his anointment
Good luck to Kamala Harris in tonight's Presidential debate. Start every response to Trump with "That's a lie". Keep reminding the audience he has 34 convictions and is due for sentencing in November.
Trump For Prison 2024.
I love it. Trump for prison! Voting 🗳️ Blue 💙
He actually has zero criminal convictions but don't let your own ignorance of law get in the way of what someone else to you to believe.
@@stevepi1...sure, found GUILTY on 34 counts

He is totally ridiculous. I can't believe that for a second time in my country, we have him in the race and that he actually has his loyal followers. It is beyond belief!!! He is a legend in his own mind!!!!

Toad doesn't have a single redeeming feature. Ticks all the wrong boxes. Repulsive beyond words. He couldn't give a fig for democracy, his country or his people or decency. Shameless and brazen liar
Hi Alex - he was in office for 4yrs. What policies did you dislike?
Trying to figure out what he did besides keeping Covid, a secret so many people died. And gave the rich a huge tax break. Loved Putin
they called him the chosen one last time before he was elected.
He certainly fit the description of a cult leader. You know, God chosen one, no humility, abusive, take not give.
Agree with your analysis of what the chosen one represents and that Trump should NEVER be president again. It was a grave mistake the first time. Never voted for him & never will.
Between him and Netanyahu, which one is at the line for the anti or mantichrist?
LOL well - there's always room for one in both "faiths" isn't there ;) Both set up by dodgy "prophets" and both the bringers of doom
He is starting to think he has divine mandate now does he? Figures.
Can we have this very same conversation about the British Boil Family please? As for the Glueish people …ffs
American politics is in a mess…God help us all☹️🇬🇧
He won’t be president again. 💙🌊
more clairvoyant bibble babble lol
I hope not he is a joke
Trump is a horror ☹️🇬🇧
Most laughable ‘human’ ever!
Does it matter who we put in office ?
Your description of The Orange One is indeed both damning and accurate professor. The bigger question of course, is what to make of seventy million Americans who voted for him and will likely do so again.
The USA has shown itself over its inception to be not the shining light upon a hill as it invariably claims, but a horror story for so many people who live within its borders and lack the means of defending themselves from such people as Donald Trump.
Trumpian "theology" is not shocking - it's just what one expects from a person that people have got behind for their own ego - and nothing whatsoever to do with anything but nationalism at it's worse. He does believe himself as messianic because the christofascists have fed him that and he is vacuous and listens to their nonsense.
The traitor one 🇷🇺
How so?
Honestly I don’t know what Americans see in Trump? He’s not all together there 🤦♂️, he’s so negative and toxic 😢
His abuses of the legal and justice system in the US is deplorable, and this alone makes him unfit, not to even mention his convictions which in my opinion I believe are sound. He should be nowhere near the White House. Not much said about the Republican Party in general who are keeping him there, and are therefore culpable..
God you need help
@@bellabookitty9014 on what basis? Please feel free to explain?!..
This is precisely why, dear Prof, that I can't share in your excitement to watch the debate, although I shall do a biphastic sleeping night and wake up to do so, live, but am scared (1) for the dignity of Ms Harris tonight, and (2) - the future of the world!! It must be HORRIFIC to have to go into a debate with him - Joe Biden, whatever people think of him (I'm a fan!), was 100% right when he said, in one simple sentence, that YOU CAN'T DEBATE A COMPULSIVE LIAR!!
Putin is exactly the same.
Their great Savior!! The yanks are doom!😂😂😂
This!
It seems the chosen ones choose themselves first.
Leaving theological considerations aside completely, too many people waste time wondering whether Trump lies knowingly or believes his lies. From an Aristotelian perspective it doesn't matter but viewed with understanding of the sociopathic personality there's no distinction either. The psychological dissonance of knowing you're lying to yourself and needing to believe it is a defining characteristic of this kind of disorder. Such a person never manages to come to a healthy adult conception of self worth and usually has a very crude definition of success on which they fixate.
It's healthy for all of us to occasionally invent and come to believe little fictions about ourselves but for a sociopath the fictions become not an occasional tool to help out from time to time but the central core of their personality.
Something went seriously wrong during Trump’s childhood. It seems that he is still stuck in whatever childhood he experienced.
Mary Trump can tell you all about that on her channel
Lex Friedman sucked Donald into selling himself as Peter Pumpkin Head 🎃

Interesting to see that your bookcasse behind your left shoulder contains comics, a book entitled Funny...you are clearly a scholar from what you say. thank you for your critique of trumpian misunderstandings.
Professor, I might agree he is "the chosen one" but what type of "one" is the question I invite answers but not on one of his worthless share certificates.
Oh and before I forget! You used a principle point in description of that twerp! I had applied the Spiderman observation to Johnson and Truss!
"No he's not, he's a very naughty boy!"
The grifters guild will dust him off and he'll run again in 2028, they still have the monkey glands and tram tickets elixir left over from St Ronny...
Will Fagash still be going out for the last few weeks or has he got bored of being slagged off and there is a new chippy to be opened in Clackthorpe?

A lot of terrorists and serial killers think they're the chosen one..
Do you think Trump was referring to himself as 'the chosen one'?
And the evangelists lap it up.
Copeland being a prime example.
Trumps a £10 pound farage
Is "personal appeal" applied to Donald Trump an oxymoron? Not in my name!
tRump got a new butt hole from Karmala in that TV debate.
Nigel Farage, is tRump really the bravest human being you've ever met?
Just asking questions Nigel 🤔
No one takes Trump seriously when he sprouts I Am the Chosen one.
How inattentive do you have to be to get this completely inverted like you have? The statement referennces the speaker as the choosing party not the chosen.
It’s OK to be the “chosen ones” though.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The man only believes in God insofar as he thinks God believes in him. How any Christian can fall for him is just beyond me
Don’t you think Trump is just using Hitler’s playbook to the tee prof ?
God , you need help .
The expressions "chosen people" and "chosen ones" have no legitimacy or standing of themselves.
Should any credibility or validity be given to any individual or group of people who self-appoint themselves as *special*?
No one on earth had or has the power or authority to "annoint" such people and there is no evidence anywhere that proves any person or any power outside the Earth ever gave any such title or status to a special group
It is ludicrous, preposterous, risible even to keep treating any single person or group(s) of people as having any superiority to any other - whether they are monarchs, leading politicians or religious figures of any position.
The fact that hundreds of millions, or rather billions, of humans place themselves as being in any way lower than any other human being is an indictment on them.
Bowing and scraping, praying, worshipping, etc are just manifestations of diminishing and demeaning oneself before others.
It's just like The Highlander, Tim, and he does have a Scottish mother.
Trivial though this may be, I think this description of The Dark Knight really hits the nail on the head:
"The Batman himself is an archetypal and symbolic figure, representing the individual who must take justice into his own hands in order to keep people safe. Especially in his identity as the "Dark Knight," he is a misunderstood and marginalized figure who is willing to make large personal sacrifices on behalf of the greater good, becoming a symbol for the hero who does not ask for praise. He is an archetype of the completely selfless and ego-less hero, someone who cares more for society than he does for his own desires."
"“How odd of God to choose the Jews." Recent developments add weight to the observation.
The "choose", I suppose they invented capitalism.
dangerous and divisive nonsense from prof - this religious superiority precisely the problem, not the solution. Deleting comments does not change this.
Megalomania! Trump is nutso!
He is a broken record playing in mono.
I totally agree but that's what yt supremacy will do. Allow someone like him to possibly become president again.
Maybe he is a stoic believer in fate
I always found that idea absurd as well
Though i don't understand what this has to do with jewish mythos
Then if he knows all this then he must know .That greed lust +envy all lead to karma .That nothing happens by blind belief. Choose by who for what for who .If his chosen belief chose him then something is lacking in the chosen type .Why would a perfect personality want anything to do with the Trump +co .He is a belligerent narrow minded inflated egoist full of self gratification. What sane individual would give him a second glance worn out foul old wash out .Best Wishes to all 🌹
@@Rose-zw2oe I completely agree
Imagine what could happen if his cult is denied their prophecy and his ascension due to these cold hard realities.
Btw, I'm surprised no mention of the event not two months ago already. I know he's used similar language before - namely comparing himself to Christ for being persecuted (🤦🏼♂️) - but it's picked up and taken on new meaning for him and some of his devout since his assassination attempt. Their worst confirmation biases and cognitive dissonances confirmed and reaffirmed.
“Whoever wants to be the greatest among you must be the slave of all” - also the Pope is called “Servant of the Servants of God”. There’s wisdom hidden in all that
He reminds you of someone else.
I’m not sure I buy the idea that the Jews still hold the role of world spiritual leaders. I’d rather leave that role to the monks and nuns, Buddhist Hindu or Christian rather than a specific race. They make a positive choice to seek a life of perfection. You can’t expect that of an entire, now increasingly materialistic, race. Plus it’s hard to reconcile this priestly Jewish role with Romans 7. I thought the church thought she’d taken that role on, that the positive choice of faith matters more than accident of birth, both in my own Catholic tradition and even more aggressively so in the Orthodox tradition where the holocaust guilt was slightly less obvious and has had less impact on doctrine (by which I mean there’s been no obvious Orthodox shift of doctrine on the Jews as an equivalent to Vatican II).
I think you are tuning into a Womble! But seriously, I always enjoy your views on current events. Keep up the good work.
I am not sure about the Jewish example.
Does Trump see himself as a kind of demigod or a messiah?
Or, perhaps he’s becoming ever more deluded as the election campaign goes forward. Like, Buckle up People, there’s more incoming!
Are you suggesting that a person is not entitled to choose a partner?
If personal choice based on personal preference is not the desirable methodology then what is? Somebody else makes the choice for you?
Remember manchester united and their chosen one
‘The Lord moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform’. His relative Donald played a real part in the 1949 Hebridean Revivals on Lewis. trumps Bible belonged to Donald Campbell. In Acts the Lord spoke to Ananias saying “ Set aside Saul/Paul for Me , for I have need of him”. In short Ananias tried to reason otherwise with God, saying you expect me to accept Saul , whose Quest is to destroy all Christians, Saul was responsible for Steven being stoned to death . A common tyrant and murderer. Until he had an Encounter with The Other on route to Damascus. Ananias reasoned Look Lord this guy Saul is nowt but a common Tyrant and murderer , yet You expect me to show him Agape love with his sullied reputation. The Lord reassured Ananias he had done a complete work in Paul’s life and not to worry . But he needed a Mentor very reluctantly , intrepidly Ananias greeted Saul with two words and an open heart “Brother Saul” spontaneously they hugged, and Saul became a changed new man . Acts ch 9 - It was like Hymn No 507 in The Redemption Hymnal. “Just as I am” you don’t tell folks to clean their lives up first to be used of God . Trump is more suitable than Barry the Proxy .
I agree with your opinion and insights about Judaism, but quite clearly the religions are FAAAR from upholding their principles, de facto the trial for the last 1.8K years of murder-etc-in-the-name-of-god hasnt even started. So its a bit hard to expect it from humans, if whole groups dont manage...
"there's nowt so queer as folk"
A King or Queen is supposed to be the embodiment of God on Earth. So about that pen...
After listening to your entire rant I I fully understand what you are saying, this is unfortunately due to the nature of how we now interpret the word "chosen" which has been fully reimagined by a narcissistic society. It is highly indicative of a sickness of self focused idolatry.
Do you think Trump was referring to himself as the 'chosen one'?
@@stevepi1 His father's full name is Frederick Christ Trump Senior. It is the German pronunciation but it's still means Christ or Christus.
@@AdastraRecordingsHow does that answer the question I asked?
"The sovereignty of God"? Really, Tim?
Because one person or billions of people choose, are frightened into believing or are forced to believe in a supreme being does not make such a concept real!
Human beings are perfectly capable of existing, co-existing with others and developing in a positive way without believing in supreme beings.
For those of those who went through the Church of England education system from Primary Schools through Grammar Schools in the 1950s and 1960s would remember the daily start of singing hymns, the reading of lessons, the Religious Instruction lessons, where it was possible to "opt out", but no one did for fear of standing out.
That was a legal requirement of schools to put its pupils through what was a form of brainwashing, of thought control.
And how many people actually ever stopped, then or now, and read through and understand the lines of all those hymns, some written multiple generations before by religious zealots?
If one asked a child of say ten now to read through those hymns and ask them to explain what they were about, most would be astonished that such words had been sung out aloud and with gusto by generations of adult people.
"Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise."'
Really?
The Chosen one is Christ .
*in scouse accent*. Calm down calm down ....All he actually said and was he didn't fancy her..
Would you say what is now happening in Gaza and in the West Bank: holy?
"in essence,, the Jewish people are tasked with spiritual leadership, to model and convey divine values wisdom and values to the rest of humanity..." This zealous religious superiority nonsense is precisely the problem here,and been done since day one; pretty much what Hitler said too.
I am neutral no matter who gets voted they can’t fix what’s wrong we need a power that can’t be taken down and I’m Jewish but the door is open to all. Jesus was the one that completely fulfilled the law. Read Daniel 2:44
Wouldn't it be better to accept that we can never fix all of our problems (nor could we at any time in history), but we can do better, rather than hoping for something otherworldly like a messiah.
@@terryhand I'm the second coming (fourth actually..) of 'Christ' but when I told people, who said they were waiting for my return, they called some men in white coats, who locked me in a padded cell for weeks. Funny old world, isn't it?
God (if there is one) is renowned for making mysterious choices, and I for one am convinced that Donald Trump is destiny's very unlikely choice to save the Western world from total collapse - or at least to slow the process down to semi-manageable levels.
Well it is to be hoped that your conviction is entirely misplaced and will go unrewarded. If you are uncertain of the existence of God then you have no foundation on which to build your theory and to imagine that Trump is in anyway chosen you might as well assume that it could just as easily be the Devil's work. I'm sorry to say you are mighty confused.
@@thomasmoore1499 The concept of destiny is in no way dependent upon the existence of a divine being. Nor does the concept of choice insist that it must be a single entity which does the choosing. We evolve according to blind chance, it seems, and there is no reason why a slightly bizarre New York property developer should not fill the ecological slot occupied by Presidents of the United States.
All that fancy talk aside though, the fact that Trump is outside the cabal of crooks and warmongers who have reigned in this once-great country for the past several decades makes him eminently suited to the role in my view - and hopefully in the view if Mother Nature as well as of the US electorate.
Whether the aforesaid cabal will allow this to happen though is a different matter.
@@thomasmoore1499 Right.
you get no say in it, since you are just a nutty prof.
another deleted comment yawn 'wrongthink'
prof you talk about a covenant between the jewish people and their god. but their god was changed numerous times depending where they were vassals in the east. and the god they currently claim is their god is actually a recycled god of storms and war.
their god also did away with them in the great flood, which is also another recycled story.
someone of your intellect would know this.
one should not conflate the jewish people and the state of isreal, they are two entirely different things.
