The CEO Of MyPillow Spoke At Trump's Briefing And Went Off Script With A Bizarre Religious Rant About Trump's Election Being Divine Intervention

During his daily press briefing on the global pandemic spreading through the U.S., President Donald Trump decided that one of the most important things to show America was the My Pillow guy singing Trump's praises.

Mike Lindell, the founder of My Pillow, took the podium at the White House to speak of how his company has begun producing equipment like masks for medical workers at the request of the President.


He then went off script, making a religious plea for Americans to read the bible and saying God gave us grace through Donald Trump.

It should come as no surprise Lindell is a prominent donor and supporter of the Trump campaign.


CNN decided to cut away during Lindell's speech (probably a wise decision).

Just bringing him to the forefront of the conference was strange, but then Lindell decided to start improvising.



Is this the real world?

Or is this just some kind of strange dream?


It's odd how many Americans were likely exposed to Lindell's speech as part of the White House's official response to the virus.

To be fair, Lindell's company is doing genuinely good work by producing crucial PPE to help fight the pandemic.



That having been said, his presence at Trump's press conference and his religious overtures to the administration, weren't necessary during an official briefing for a secular government.



It's hard not to draw the conclusion that Lindell was invited to speak during an official press briefing because he's donated to Donald Trump.


If you're nice to Donald Trump, he's nice to you.

That's how America is being run.


Perhaps someday White House press briefings will once again be used to convey rational fact and calm reason.

Someday.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
