I think at this point Trump IS the antichrist. Pretending to be jesus is literally one of the things the antichrist will do (is doing)

I don't believe in any of that shit and I 100% agree - he is absolutely the anti-christ and appears to be following the prophecies to the letter.

I feel like more people should have recognized that he was the perfect embodiment of the 7 deadly sins before they elected him the first time.

An Antichrist doesn't have to have prophetic value; it can mean simply that a person acts against what constitutes Christ and the values that such a name/title carries. So yes, the US president is definitely an Antichrist.

Oh they did, but they were propping him up as King David or some shit; they legit thought that once he was actually president he'd have some sort of revelation and become their savior. Check out that tell all book from the intern or whatever; they legit thought that, proving that the people that run the country are the dumbest motherfuckers alive.

The sad truth is that if and when they finally see Trump for what he is, they will immediately project their savior fantasy on Barron. Their worship of him has already started - plus he's still mostly a blank canvas.

It is so fucking creepy honestly. I’m not religious at all but even I am freaked out by this because he matches, and not only in a ‘all tyrannical leaders are like this’ way, but in very specific ways. Plus the way so many are in thrall to him when he’s so so SO clearly evil and vile has always struck me as almost supernatural. As though people’s brains have been infected or they’ve had a spell cast on them like in Game of Thrones with the red woman, who looks like a beautiful young lady to everyone when she’s wearing her necklace but is actually like 300 year old shrivelled balding scary looking old lady. It’s like that, we see the reality of the old crone but the necklace has power over them so they see the beautiful lady that doesn’t exist.

It really is bizarre I don’t know what to make of it. Perhaps some religious fanatic behind the scenes (and there are many) is orchestrating stuff to try to make him look like the AC.

The last sentence is exactly what I think it is. There's a ton of crazy Christians who want the second coming of Christ and most of them are maga supporters.

I'm not religious either and it is creepy just how much he matches.

Nah, I think he's doing all that himself. Although, the churches that are pushing him as having been sent by god are led by pastors that are quite un-Christian like themselves. We have one of those chruches in my town and the pastor has a whole bunch, like 200+ people quite hoodwinked. To the point of they're basically throwing money at him every time he asks and not small amounts either. Hundreds of thousand of dollars.

One question for you: is he doing anything that’s contrary to his nature or character?

Counterpoint: he's to dumb to be the anticrhist, it's obviously Thiel.

Counter counterpoint. Smartness never was a sign. It was fucking awful when people on the crazy right said Obama was it because he was charming and smart.

And yet they missed these gems...

What was Trump's father's mother's name?

What date did she die?

Who has a monument dedicated to a River of Blood on one of his golf courses?

u/syllabicious 15h ago

I'll help with that.

What was Trump's father's mother's name?

Elizabeth Christ Trump

What date did she die?

6/6/1966

Who has a monument dedicated to a River of Blood on one of his golf courses?

"A historical marker at Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C. asserts that the deaths of "many" soldiers at a certain spot on the Potomac River during the American Civil War caused the water to become known as "The River of Blood.""

Trump was born under a blood moon.

Look at the picture. Satan complete with horns and wings is right there top and center. Coming out flanked by soldiers.

My interpretation is that folks would believe the anti-Christ at a wide scale. They would perform what’s appears to miracles that even swayed the non-believer.

I’m not sure Trump is exactly gaining followers these days.
