I’m not saying that God chose Trump to be our next president. I’m just saying that when Madonna told God that she would devote her life to Him if Trump lost, it’s likely that God weighed the pros and cons and maybe made a hard decision.

Daily Mail:

Madonna said in a new interview that she turned to a higher power the night of the election hoping that it would help Hillary Clinton defeat Donald Trump. 

‘On election night I was sitting at a table with my agent, who is also one of my very best friends, and we were truly praying. We were praying,’ revealed the singer in the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

She goes on to say that her agent knew someone who worked on the Clinton campaign, and that early in the night they heard that things were not going well for the Democratic nominee. 

‘It was just like watching a horror show. And then she was reading from the Quran, and I was reading from the Zohar,’ said Madonna, referring to the collection of stories about Jewish mysticism that is central to the Kabbalah.

‘We were doing everything: lighting candles, meditating, praying, offering our lives to God forever, if only.’

Seems to me that God, faced with the prospect of having to listen to Madonna on a regular basis, maybe opted to go a different way.

In short, Trump won. God won.

Madonna, as always, loses.
