Since someone spread the idea that God made Donald Trump president and many people believe so -that has an effect on his approval rating?

"God made Trump president so that is proof  that he is a good presdent"
He can do no wrong.

    People voted for Trump. He CAN do wrong to some people, but in the long term, his choices will be best. That is how he became a billionaire. We have a 20 trillion dollar debt. If we don't stop with all the programs and spending, the Chinese will own America. Start learning that language.

    This is the same type of self-reinforcing confirmation bias as the old trope, “God wouldn’t give me anything I can’t handle”. 
    Doesn’t make it true, just creates false confidence in the unknowable. Makes me think of the Dark Ages. 

    IMO, there is a small percentage of zealotry who would promote such an idea, and they prop up the ratings.

    So we're not the greatest of humans, but did we really deserve this level of punishment, God?????

    Never heard that except in Rosie's Corner but the reasoning involved - God made him pres - God can do no wrong, therefore he can do no wrong - seems pretty gratuitous.  After all he is human!   Maybe his opponents will have him "investigated" and bring indictments for " collusion" with "foreign powers".
