Trump has revealed himself as MAGA's darkest fear

After I read about Trump posting that literally God-awful image of him as Jesus Christ, I looked up the dictionary definition of the word Antichrist: "a particular personage or power, variously identified or explained, who is conceived of as appearing in the world as the principal antagonist of Christ.”

And in a biblical sense, it’s described as a personal opponent of Christ expected to appear before the end of the world.

I stopped cold when I read it. Because if there is one human being — or demonic individual — walking the earth right now who fits that description, it is Donald J. Trump. Not metaphorically or as exaggeration. It is what I consider to be a studied and well-documented observation.

In Genesis 3:4-5 the devil says, “You will not surely die... For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” This represents the “father of lies,” undermining trust in God and tempting humanity with divine power while concealing catastrophic consequences.

Does this sound like Donald Trump or what?

This past Holy Week, Trump got into a war of words with his holiness, Pope Leo XIV who, since his election in May 2025, has spoken consistently about peace, justice, and the dignity of human life.

When Trump threatened to obliterate Iranian civilization, Pope Leo called the threat “truly unacceptable.” When Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself in the robes of Jesus Christ, healing a sick man, the reaction from many Christians was immediate and bipartisan — “blasphemy.”

Trump deleted the image and then told reporters it showed him “as a doctor, making people better.” He said the fake news dreamed up the Jesus connection.

Only an Antichrist would compare himself to Jesus, deny that he did it, and then lie about it while denying it.

As an aside, Mike Johnson claims he asked Trump to delete it. And if you believe the busiest worker-bee in the devil’s workshop, then you must really think that Trump is a deity — but I digress.

Trump then turned on the Holy Father, calling him “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy,” and claiming the Catholic Church elected an American pope to “deal with” him. He said, “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” Every cardinal and bishop who weighed in backed the pope, not the president acting as the Antichrist.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said it was “disheartened” — a weak word when one is fighting the devil.

The warp-minded Riley Gaines warned that “God shall not be mocked.” Pope Leo, for his part, said he had “no fear” and would continue to speak out. “Blessed are the peacemakers,” he said.

Only an evil fool attacks a pope at his own peril. But does an Antichrist care about peril?

This is not the first time Trump has draped himself in the robes of Jesus. He has called himself “the chosen one,” standing with his arms spread wide. He has claimed God spared his life when an assassin’s bullet grazed his ear in 2024. “It was God alone,” he said.

In his inaugural address, he declared he was “saved by God to make America great again.” His evangelical base applauded, happy to bend scripture to fit a man who has violated nearly every one of the Ten Commandments and whose relationship with Christianity consists of… well...posting pictures of himself as Jesus.

All this while Trump has admitted that he’s not “heaven-bound,” something only the Antichrist could dream of.

Trump doesn’t have a Christian bone in his body. He is a thrice-married, serially lying, hush-money-paying, convicted con man who used a Bible as a photo-op during the Black Lives Matter protests — and held it upside down — and who retweeted a post calling him “the second coming of God,” thanking the person for “the very nice words.”

Meanwhile, the real world burns from the Antichrist fires.

Tuesday, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its global growth outlook and warned the world economy sits on the brink of recession, driven by Trump’s war with Iran. In the worst-case scenario, global growth falls to just 2 percent — “a close call for a global recession.”

According to the IMF, if the war drags on and oil prices climb to $110 or $125 a barrel, global inflation tops 6 percent and nations fall into recession. The hardest hit, as always, are the poorest countries.

Add Trump’s nonsensical tariff policies, which built a wall of import taxes around the world’s largest economy.

And then there is the patented Antichrist language. Trump posted: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Intentional attacks on civilian infrastructure — the bridges and power plants he threatened — are war crimes under international law.

Iran is heir to one of the oldest civilizations in history. And a religious holy ground. Trump threatened to erase it. If that isn’t the language of an Antichrist, I don’t know what is.

On Monday a DoorDash employee delivered McDonald’s to the White House. Trump, defending his image, said he is “making people better… And I do make people better.”

He does not make people better. That claim is his most consequential lie. Under Trump, grocery prices have climbed on tariff-inflated supply chains. RFK Jr., his health secretary, has turned public health into a laboratory for conspiracy theories, gutting vaccine confidence and dismantling the CDC’s credibility.

Medicaid is being hacked apart, stripping health care from the poorest Americans. Transgender people have been made into enemies of the state, stripped of dignity by executive fiat. The mountain of lies does not merely mislead — it destroys lives.

Only an Antichrist wants to destroy lives.

And then there is USAID. Trump stripped it to the bone, leaving a global humanitarian infrastructure in ruins and putting millions at risk.” The poorest people on earth, shoved over the edge by Trump — the epitome of an Antichrist.

With Trump, things always go from bad to worse. They never end well. Every reckless decision cascades into another, generating more chaos, more pain, more damage that takes years to repair — if it can be repaired at all.

He is on a road that leads somewhere to hell, where only an Antichrist would be happy.

He says he is the chosen one. He may be right. But the one he was chosen to be is not the one who brings peace. It is the one who defies Christ and seeks to end the world.

Trump, the very definition of the Antichrist.
