A Right Wing Host Just Made a Questionable Claim About Donald Trump and God, and Twitter Is Calling Him Out

That's some fuzzy math.

Right-wing radio personality Bill Mitchell offered a rather perplexing defense of President Donald Trump on Monday, tweeting that God favors Trump because of "math."

"God favors America," Mitchell wrote, adding that "Trump favors America." Therefore, Mitchell said, "God favors Trump."


"It's just math," Mitchell concluded. Mitchell did not offer any math to back up his claim.

This is not math and Twitter jumped in to remind the "Your Voice" host that the evidence at hand supports a much different conclusion.

What's more obvious, one user pointed out, is the favoritism coming from the Trump administration - toward Russia.

"Trump favors Putin. Putin favors Russia. Trump favors Russia."

Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA) fired back at Mitchell by saying "God favors everyone."

Then came some other claims which actually made a lot more sense than Mitchell's.

"There is like, no God tho."

And since love is blind, and Ray Charles was blind, Ray Charles must be God.

"It's just math," after all.

And "much better reasoning."

Given that Mitchell decided to arbitrarily confuse causality with correlation - a frequent mistake those poorly-versed in math and science make, Twitter offered some other examples.

"You suck at math."

Mitchell's "informal logic" didn't take well on social media.

Neither did his "blind belief in superstitions," which, of course, are not math.

"There is literally no math here."

Mitchell got compared to a port-a-potty.

And then came excerpts from the Bible, none of which mention America but all of which mention God loving everyone.

"You're reading the wrong book. This is what I found," a person willing to actually read the Bible pointed out. "America was never mentioned, but loving everyone was."

John 3:16 reads: "For God so loved the world."

Though there may be an explanation for Mitchell's poor grasp of arithmetic, joked one follower.

There's a whole big world out there. Surely God doesn't only love America...

Take Great Britain for example.

Even if Mitchell had meant to say "logic" instead of "math," it still doesn't work.

Twitter tried, though.

Come on Bill, that's not how this works.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
