God Wanted Trump as President
“I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times, and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president and that’s why he’s there. And I think he has done a tremendous job in supporting a lot of the things that people of faith really care about.”
- Sarah Hillbilly Sanders

Probably no other way for her brain to rationalize it.

So true!
An outsider, against great odds, defeats the anointed.
How else?... In God We Trust is exceedingly rational.

Calvinism???
A corruption of the belief in God makes, wants the truly faithful prosper with earthly riches maybe?
Then there is this.

“Millions of Americans,” declared Jeffress at a July 2017 event his First Baptist Church of Dallas sponsored in Washington, D.C., “believe the election of President Trump represented God giving us another chance—perhaps our last chance to truly make America great again.”

Sanders is probably indicating that she understands that a major feature of governance is a declaration of belief in the spirit of God and that Devine Intervention is always a welcome tool.
Additionally who goes into battle without calling on, enlisting support of the Supreme one. Prayer is foremost, prayer is ubiquitous.
In modern times there are people who claim that part of the earth is given to them by God and they are celebrated and overwhelmingly supported by both sections of the US House.
Sarah possibly understands the tradition; a show, a declaration, is opportune.

Trumpiness is next to Godliness

No, it's very fallacious logic. Reasoning from faulty premises. Basically there are lots of reasons 'else.'
The premises here are "Hillary was 'anointed' and sure to win," and "Trump could only win by divine intervention." Then the conclusion follows "Trump won so a miracle occurred."
But I of course think neither premise is demonstrated. It's actually typical of the bad logic of people not educated to think clearly. Assert premises that give the answer you want, and don't examine them critically.

It does not need logics. All it needs is a veneer, a patina.
Sanders has gone back to basics.

Understand. I just object to a veneer or patina being thought of as 'exceedingly rational.'
