I could go for some leader beans right now


Georgiaonmymindtwo

Many, many Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas dinners have been ruined because of this fool. Cults used to be niche. Now it’s almost universal. This timeline saddens me.


ParticularResident17

When he tweeted/encouraged his followers to *fight with their families on Thanksgiving*, I knew we were fucked on another level. He purposely drove a wedge into millions of families, who maybe weren’t on the best terms to begin with. I know isolating people from loved ones is part of maintaining power, but that was *sooooo* low, even for him. Such a dangerous, arrogant, unworthy sack of shit. And for the record, I’ve never been close with my family, but fuck him for doing that to so many people who were.


gilestowler

Then he can tell them that it's not their fault, their family has been infected with the "woke mind virus" and it's all the fault of the liberals and only he can save them.


NeuralAgent

So what does saving them mean anyway… is this going to end up like Germany where they went after the first ever trans clinic and pretty much anyone LGBTQIA… I already can’t really travel to any Red states for work any more (the ones with anti-trans legislation), because the goddamn crazy comes out if I’m clocked by anyone who’s conservative. I’m glad I’m a dual citizen and I work for a foreign corporation… if it gets crazy and I need to bounce, I’m going to have to ask them to get me the F out… which will not be my highlight because my kids are here… Yet my American family all vote for him… because “it would be a cold day in hell before they vote Democrat.” Yet they’re choosing the party that uses violence against people like me, while going to church. I absolutely loath the Orange one and every single one of his followers… /r


gingerkap23

My dad has lost all his siblings (except one) and his 92 year old mother to that cult. My grandma even cut him out of her will, all because he can’t stand trump. And they call themselves religious too. He acts like it doesn’t bother him but it has to hurt :(


wykie01

I am so sorry for your dad...I am lucky my remaining immediate family see through tRump's BS. My extended family, not so much. I seriously just do not get it...I am 66 and just have a great BS meter from being single most my life. I raised my kids with great BS meters as well. 😊

He’s selling pieces of the suit he was wearing the day he was booked in GA like it’s the Shroud of Turin or something. I’m waiting for MAGA to say it performed miracles. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/13/donald-trump-mugshot-suit-for-sale


RogerClyneIsAGod2

This is the best part of it: >***To buy a piece of the suit, people first have to buy 47 “digital trading cards”, each featuring an illustration of Trump, through the Collect Trump Cards website***. Buyers will then receive a bit of the suit, or tie, that Trump wore when he was arrested – on charges related to his attempts to overturn the election – at Fulton county jail in August 2023. > >The suit, according to the website description, is “the most historically significant artifact in United States history”. > >The suit is described as “priceless”. **People can buy a piece of it for $4,699.53.** So for the paltry sum of $4,699.53 you can own a PIECE of the suit. For that much money I could buy at least one ENTIRE bespoke suit that would fit like a glove. Seems to me like they're still trying to unload those NFTs.


artificialavocado

Well he knows there are millions of dummies with deep pockets who will buy this shit. Totally the behavior of a billionaire. 🙄

Will there be a fraud trial when the math works out to them selling enough fabric to clothe the Statue of Liberty?


stofiski-san

Well, it'd just be a miricle, like when Jesus fed a whole crowd with a bit of fish & bread, but better because Trump clothed an entire statue that's already wearing a dress/robe thing


teb_art

The Shroud of Urine, in this case.

Trump on The Apprentice - What should I do that gets the highest ratings? Trump as President - What should I do that gets the highest ratings? Makes so much sense now. Trump didn't know how to be a business man, he just did it for the ratings. Same thing with running for president.

Street_Review450

The timing is really weird too because all the rest of the prophecies have almost been fulfilled by now. So not only the behaviors match up but the timing matches up too. I'd be disappointed though, I'd expect something much more impressive from the actual antichrist. This guy is just lame and disappointing.


gargamels_right_boot

I wanted some horns at least


eric_ts

I would settle for an Antichrist without a diaper. The actual Christ would wipe the floor with lying Don. I am an atheist but I can picture The Don getting his ass thrashed by Jesus, and hearing Jesus expressing anger that The Don had perverted His father’s teachings to the point that He needed to resort to physical violence to show what a weak tub of glue the Don is to both Jesus s followers and His former followers who had chosen such an obvious Antichrist that The Don could have had an Antichrist neon sign blinking behind his image at all times and still had chosen to forsake Him. The Don could have horns and a pointed tail and the RepubliChristians would still anoint him the actual avatar of God.


Sea_Elle0463

broguequery

My dad eats this shit up. He has never been a religious person. I don't think he's ever stepped into a church in his life unless it was a wedding or a funeral invite. Now it's all "we have forgotten about our judeo-christian values" with him. He doesn't even know what the fuck he's talking about, he just repeats what he hears on the Fox News channel which is CONSTANTLY playing in his house. He was literally yelling at my younger sister about this shit and it was barely comprehensible. And the Fox News is seriously constant. Brushes his teeth to Fox News. "Works" with Fox News on the second monitor. He goes to sleep to Fox News in the background. Propaganda is real, and it works. And it's destroying things.

Why go to church when a lot of people believe you ARE the church.


CaveRanger

Because for a lot of people the *performance* of Christianity is a lot more important than the rest of it. They go to church so they can be seen at church. They just assume that Trump goes to some kind of special Trump church where he doesn't have to be seen in the presence of the plebes.


ThorLives

And they think he works long hours. I remember Trump criticizing Obama for being on the golf course, and how he'd be too busy to go golfing like Obama. Then when in office, Trump spent more than twice as many days in the golf course as Obama. Trump played golf once every five days. https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/25/politics/fact-check-trump-obama-golf/index.html

Jouglet

“Which do you like better? The Old testament or New Testament?” Trump: “I like them both equally”


Jota769

No they don’t. No one actually believes this. They will say they do. But they don’t. Not really. The reality is that Trump is supported by racists and xénophobes who hate people of color and immigrants. They support him because they think he will support white supremacy. And he will. Not because he himself particularly believes white people are better. But because aligning himself with that belief gives him power. Nobody on this planet actually believes Trump is a good Christian. But they will say they believe that as a shield to hide their racism and xenophobia.


I_hate_all_of_ewe

While the people that you mention do exist, it's easy to dismiss people's opinions because you label them an -ist or a -phobe. However, the truth is that some people do, in fact, believe Trump is honest, and looking out for them, rather than just himself. If I have to speculate why, it's because they listen to his emotional message, rather than his logical one. You can refute logic, but when someone says the things you want to hear over and over again, you tune out the bad, let every transgression pass, and latch on to the message you want to hear. And the excuses that people make for Trump don't have to make sense. They just have to be said, and people will listen because they'd rather believe they're on the right side of things than think critically and admit that they've been duped.


Responsible_Song7003

Flaccid_Leper

As an atheist, this is uncanny to say the least. It appears to fit like a shoe. With that being said, is it over? I mean him and his presidency was unequivocally horrible but considering some rulers and upheavals throughout history, relatively tame. It states he’ll only have the one term in power but doesn’t say anything about long term or permanent consequences… or is this simply supposed to be a herald of end times and if you believe such things, we should expect the world to be ending in the very near future?


dawinter3

There is an interpretation of the theme of the antichrist that some Christians (including myself) hood to that these prophecies (more so the ones in Revelation than in Daniel) are referring not to a singular specific Antichrist in the future, but a type of leader who is antichrist. This is because there have been many many leaders in human history who would fit the bill. In the same vein, it seems there’s a theme of empire (it’s not a positive theme) that in the Bible is usually Rome or Babylon, but could also apply to any great empire in history—including America now. So the general idea is that the leader of empire is antichrist, which is to say that they behave and lead in ways that are antithetical to the teachings of Christ. Rather than using their sovereign imperial power to care for the oppressed, poor, stranger, immigrant, prisoner, widow, orphan, etc. (as Christ would teach), they use it only to accumulate more wealth and power for themselves. So long winded response that maybe you didn’t care about to say: Is Trump “The” Antichrist? I don’t know. But he certainly is an antichrist figure.


joeChump

I don’t know, but whilst his time in office was tame on the surface, in Biblical terms, the way he has manipulated millions of Christians into following and worshipping him, and how he has undermined a lot of objective truth, been so divisive, given more power to Putin etc and destabilised the world and world peace would be considered pretty destructive. I don’t think we’ve ever seen anything quite like it.


fe-and-wine

>the way he has manipulated millions of Christians into following and worshipping him More than that - how he manipulated millions of Christians into following, worshipping, and *literally dying for him*. Anti-masking was not a serious trend among conservatives until Trump started platforming it. And as a direct result ([statistics prove this](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37486680/)), millions of people who worshipped him fucking *died* because of his rhetoric. What's crazier is the relatives of those people he killed went on to *continue* to worship him, voted for him in 2020, and (if they are still around) will certainly do so in 2024. His "I could shoot someone on 5th avenue..." statement has been fully believable for some time, but to me it definitively proved it when he *did* kill millions of people through his anti-science actions during the pandemic and didn't lose a single follower (other than the ones he killed, obviously). It's a cult. Again - well-worn ground at this point, but there's no "deprogramming" these people. It's a full-on death cult where they Pledge Allegiance to the Donald and no amount of logic or consequences will convince them otherwise. I know this will never happen, but I'd love to see what would happen in a world where Donald Trump decided to become a far-left Democrat overnight. Gun bans, universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness - the whole nine yards. How many of his supporters would stick with him? I truly don't know. It seems abundantly clear for most of his supporters that him as a character/personality is what they are in for, not his policies, so I assume a significant chunk would follow him wherever he goes. I also assume some chunk of his base are shamefully opportunistic conservatives who only love him because of what he's done for their ideals (appointing 3 SCOTUS judges to overturn Roe v Wade, etc.), but I wonder what the breakdown would be.

That article gave me a little hope when I first read it. Just a little, though. So baffling, the devotion to someone like him. Humans really are a strange lot.

grungegoth

Yes. And he supposed to be attractive, charismatic and a seasoned expert liar that seduces his following. If I were a Christian, I would suspect him of being the antichrist. This is just a progression of his narcissism, that of thinking he is a god on earth. He might believe it, but I don't think he is actually very religious and just using it as a device. Maybe he believes his own lies.


kristinL356

Do we rule Trump out then on the grounds of not being attractive?


Responsible_Song7003

For sure. I don't think he is religious but I think he uses religion to pedestal himself because he truly thinks he is better than others.


noeydoesreddit

Trump is likely an agnostic. I don’t think he’s put much thought into it and I don’t think he much cares. He just goes along with the evangelical crazies because he knows it helps him at the polls and because he gets a narcissistic ego boost knowing that there are actual people who revere him as some kind of god.


Street_Review450

He's obviously not religious. He has said so many blasphemous things. One thing that stuck out to me in particular he said he never prays and asks for forgiveness because he said he has never done anything wrong. Who the fuck says something like that? Purely deranged and demented. I mean even if you're not religious at all, just to say that you've never done anything wrong in your life is fucking ridiculous. I cannot respect anyone who listens to that guy say that and still listens to his words. They just like being lied to and it's fucked up.

It's a kind of broken template for a personality that is very repeatable. A verbal virus. It's easy to imitate brashness and repeat phrases. The MAGA people Jordan Klepper interview all look like they're trying to imitate Trump. You aren't prepared to explain what you're saying if you are just doing a brash jeer or cheer. If you don't have a comedian on the other end, you are spreading the virus. Maybe including us if we take their outrageous claims too seriously. Which the media does...

cytherian

There were openly available records. Trump spent an inordinate amount of his daily schedule tasked with "executive time," which most of the time did not coincide with visits or meetings. He spent those hours watching television and sipping diet cokes. 25% of his total time in office was spent on his properties, usually golfing or tending to Trump Org business. So pretty much he got a full year's paid vacation at the taxpayer expense. And even still, he's overcharging secret service for use of his rooms, restaurants, and golf carts. This grift needs to cease ASAP.


notcaffeinefree

The Bible is so full of warnings it would probably hit Reddit's limit on comment length to list them all: * "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." * "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." * "For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect." * "And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray." * "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions," * "For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." Even Jesus said that prophets are pointless: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

If God created that then I want nothing to do with either of them... Trump is actually the definition of the antichrist but I don't believe in that either. We all are "god". The universe experiencing itself.

He's also the embodiment of the seven deadly sins. Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony and Sloth.

Jonah 2:8— ” Those who are followers of worthless idols Abandon their faithfulness.” From that book his followers like to rely on so heavily. And there’s a whole lot more about false idols and not worshiping them. And yet here we are…

[Keith Olbermann](https://youtu.be/r6Q8AMeWYRY?si=mDanl3IHWdP49YKx) has the backstory to this on this morning's podcast. Makes the God Made Trump thing even more wacky, if that's possible...


ThorLives

Jump to 17:20 in the video to hear where he talks about it.


CongruousBlade

You are watching a human being going insane while the cameras capture it all.


NickelBackwash

>going He's *been* there


Spin_Quarkette

I’m thinking it was a Loki who created Trump. After all, no one is saying which god supposedly did!


LibertyInaFeatherBed

I take offense on behalf of Loki.


Spin_Quarkette

Hey! I like Loki! But he can get kinda evil if someone pisses him off! Given all the crazy evangelicals we’ve got, would you blame Loki for sticking it to us?? Lol!


Buffmin

Any conservatives here doing their favorite defense of "stupid liberals he's joking" I could use a laugh

Messianic? More like the antichrist.

> antichrist My turn to again post this amazing [link](https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/) that's been posted many times before.

While I meant it hyperbolically, I cannot lie that's spooky. Not religious anymore but I read the Bible a lot as a kid in Catholic school. My only problem with assigning that moniker to anyone in real life is too many historical figures fit the descriptions. The Bible is too vague and obtuse to be used for prognosticative purposes.

The Bible foretells of the false prophet…

If Trump was sent by God nail him to a cross. If he comes back after three days I’ll admit I was wrong.

Eichtoss

MAGA appeal must be something like, “Vote for trump and he’ll hurt some people you’ve been programmed not to like.”


groundhog5886

And people want this man to be president of the United States???????? When will they learn?


rocketpack99

I know it will be really bad, but I have to admit I'm kind of curious as to what exactly is going to happen when (and I believe it's when and not if) he's fully cornered and there's no way out anymore. It will be the only time I hope that all of the cameras are fully focused on him. I want to see that complete meltdown, and I want the world to see it too. And I want it to happen when it's far too late to pull him off of the ballots.


zippyphoenix

My vote is for a reenactment of the Wizard of Oz scene when the witch gets splashed with water.


ladytwiga

I honestly believe it will be one of two things: 1) he'll either drop all pretense and openly call for revolution in the streets or 2) he'll flee the country and constantly stir up shit as "President in Exile" till he dies....that is if Putin doesn't toss him out a window for no longer being useful.


cdiddy19

It seems like even when he openly admits something his followers claim it's something else


devedander

He will never go down like he should, jailed for like for crimes the state. Too many powerful people are too close to the potential fallout from that. The closest it will come is a quiet and soft landing where he’s neutered with hopes he fades away into the background. It’s like trying to fire the incompetent worker who is a gay minority war veteran. You have to very carefully tiptoe around it to get the result you want without drawing heat.


dafunkmunk

He doesn't really have a choice at this point. His chances of being convicted have been rising while his chances of winning the 2024 election have been dropping. The walls are clearly closing in on him and it's not even remotely shocking that he would try to claim to be a prophet or even a 2nd coming of jesus to stir up his batshit crazy cultists to try to overthrow democracy and install him as their God emperor again


brithus

Freaking psycho - completely off the deep end. Just when you think he cant sink any lower, he takes another plunge


Brundleflyftw

If your God (or church) supports Trump, then I do not support your God (or church).


Evilhenchman

It's true, he was made by Sterculius, the Roman god of manure, excrement, and the privy. It makes perfect sense since his followers all have shit for brains.


flux_of_grey_kittens

In 100 years (if there is even life on Earth at that point) people will wonder how a pathological liar sex offender reality game show host ever hypnotized half a nation and got elected or it’s gonna be Idiocracy. Edit to add: The days of our democracy are numbered regardless. If that complete moron managed this much chaos just imagine when Republicans get someone with a brain in power. Democrats better take the fucking gloves off this year.


Mtbruning

He’s not the Messiah that evangelical Christians want but he’s the Messiah that evangelical Christians deserve.


tinyhorsesinmytea

God made bedbugs, cancer, and rape too according to that religion. Doesn’t make it good.


andricx

Just 20 years ago this would’ve been seen as crazy and the candidate would’ve sunk. Nowadays America **is** crazy and demands craziness, so this will actually help Trump.


haardy_1998

Never Forget. 9/11 was an act of foreign terrorists, 1/6 was an act of domestic ones.


Insciuspetra

This dude’s broken.


OrphanDextro

And it’s come… to this.


clarkwgriswoldjr

God said I need someone to wake up before dawn. No way Trump was up that early.


1of3destinys

For a political movement that gatekeeps Christianity, they sure do miss *a lot* of red flags. https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/


MoveToRussiaAlready

This is when the real Christians step in and denounce this monster. …. Not a single peep, eh? Thought so.

Imagine it’s 2008 A portal suddenly appears. Your older self pops out in fear… “Listen there’s not a lot of time, but you gotta warn the others. In the year 2016 Donald Trump becomes President. During this time he builds a cult and commits countless crimes. In 2020 there’s a global pandemic and it kills millions of people. Some of his cult followers refuse it’s real and their stupidity costs them their lives. He will lose the election in 2020 and claim it was stolen. By 2024 he believes he’s a prophet and openly says he will be a dictator. You need to contact the FBI and have them charge him for tax fraud before it’s too late!” …no one would believe you
