Sarah Sanders: God wanted Trump to become president.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...mp-god-1137547

So how does this work? Is whoever wins the person God wanted to win? So did God previously want Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to win too? Does this just apply to the presidency or are all elected officials the ones that God wants? Did he want Nancy Pelosi to be speaker of the House? Did he want Northam to be governor of Virginia? If it applies to history in general why would Sanders have bothered to claim it for Trump? And how does she know? Wouldn't this mean that God overrules free elections? Doesn't that contradict the free will theodicy and the laws of nature? I mean if God is going to intervene in America's elections, why doesn't he just intervene to eliminate evil all together?
