I have heard fundies justify their belief that Trump is divinely chosen, despite his sordid relationships with women, because even King David sent a man to the front in a war in order to kill him and take his wife.

I like to point out to them that King David repented, according to the story, and accepted the death of his son from that wife as punishment. But Trump has said in interviews that he has never felt a need to repent anything.
