White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that "God" wanted Donald Trump to be president.
Sanders shared her belief in an exclusive interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.
David Brody and Jennifer Wishon asked Sanders to give her "spiritual perspective" of Trump's time in office.
"I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president, and that's why he's there."
She went on, "I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about."

Some people are disturbed by Sanders' claim.
Not only is there separation of church and state, but Trump is not exactly a pillar of virtue.

If "God" supports Trump, his representatives are not getting the message. Trump's former pastor slammed the president on Twitter Wednesday morning over Trump's support for teaching the Bible in public schools.
