God Gave Us the Donald, 'Firefighter Prophet' Says in Film [View all]


The more crazy things that “Firefighter Prophet” Mark Taylor has said God is telling him, the more popular he seems to become on the right. Now, there's a movie based on hin.

Retired firefighter Mark Taylor was snoozing in front of a Donald Trump appearance on Fox News one afternoon in 2011 when he started to hear a voice coming from the TV.

But the sound wasn’t coming from the real estate mogul, Taylor would claim later. It was coming from God.

“I have chosen this man, Donald Trump, for such a time as this,” Taylor claims the voice told him. “For as Benjamin Netanyahu is to Israel, so shall this man be to the United States of America!”

Taylor became convinced that he had received a divine prophecy that Trump would become president. He felt sure after hearing the voice that Trump would run against Barack Obama and win the White House in 2012.

Trump didn’t end up running for president in 2012, and Obama won reelection. But in 2015, after Trump launched his presidential bid, Taylor circled back to his old vision: maybe his prophecy was right all along.
