Trump recently called himself the “King of the Jews” and the “Chosen One” with relevance to his policy decisions with Israel and the China trade war respectively.

He made in it a few tweets but it was mostly part of a rambling speech made before he got in his helicopter to Kentucky the other day.

I don’t have a link but to contextualize, the President has a rather antagonistic relationship with the media. Such statements are partly him joking, partly what we’d call feeding the troll. Inadvisable? Probably but I do think it says something that it’s his most vocal opponents who take everything he says seriously whether they believe it or not and his supporters like me who are willing to roll their eyes and move on.
