During Donald Trump's rambling, self-referential and confrontational press conference on Wednesday, Trump made a humble admission. He would be the "greatest job producer God has ever created."

Regardless of your religious beliefs, it was hard for many viewers to imagine God in heaven designating people not as good or evil, but as "job producers." It took only seconds for Twitter to take PEOTUS and his vaguely authoritarian boast to task, providing a delightful moment of relief in an otherwise terrifying afternoon.

Being a good president or fulfill any promises is not up to God, Trump. You may name check everyone, but you're still helpless.
