Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), who has been advising Donald Trump on foreign policy, said on Tuesday that God played a role in the real estate mogul becoming the Republican presidential nominee.

“I actually supported Ted Cruz. I thought he was fabulous but I also see that at the end of the day God raised up, I believe, Donald Trump who was going to be the nominee in this election,” Bachmann said on CBN’s “The Brody File.” “I don’t think God sits things out. He’s a sovereign God. Donald Trump became our nominee.”

Bachmann cited the Book of Daniel, which she said “teaches us that the most high God lifts up who He will and takes down who he will.”

“I think it’s very likely that in the day that we live in, that Donald Trump is the only individual who could win in a General Election of the 17 who ran,” she told “The Brody File.” “Maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know but I do know that the Bible is true and that Daniel teaches the most high God, which is one of God’s names, is the one who lifts up who he will and takes down who he will.”

    I’ve never understood why Christians quote from the Jewish Bible to make a point.
