divine will

During a speech in Cedar Rapids that took place later in the day, Trump anointed himself as being handpicked by God and a vessel of divine will.

Randomness was seen not as random, but as an expression of divine will.

"But the flood of people will ultimately remove a government because the divine will side with the people. The voice of the people is the voice of God."

The president, recalled Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles, “made a vow — a covenant — that if God gave us the victory in the approaching battle, he would consider it an indication of Divine will.”

The script gains its authority, however, precisely through the claim that these norms are not a product of the culture but a fact of the natural order or divine will.
