I tried to show where he said it and the context in which those he said it to took it.

There are good points being made here and I have only this left to add:

IF he is in fact saying, God told him to do this, in whatever context, that is between him and his God.

Personally, if I went into work and said, "God told me the way to heal all drug addicts is to start killing them and to bomb crack houses."

There is no doubt, in my mind at least, that I would be taken upstairs to Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) for evaluation and to await transport to the nearest psychiatric hospital.

But then again, I'm not president.
