While he probably isn't the Antichrist, a being whose existence is highly unlikely, his industrial-strength awfulness begs the comparison. I've known a lot of assholes in my life, and none compares to 45. He's not just any old asshole; he's a in a class by himself - a weapons-grade, state of the art asshole. The Mozart of assholes, the Rembrandt of assholes, the Einstein of assholes, the ur-asshole before whom all lesser assholes must bow down.

Everybody has to be really good at something, right?

He won office because there were powers manipulating things. On his own, he's nothing.

Most assholes have at least a few redeeming qualities. Maybe they're kind to their pets or their children. Maybe they recycle or buy refillable Keurig cups. My nasty, awful SIL is probably the biggest asshole I know personally, but even she gives generously to some charities. As far as I can tell 45 doesn't do anything good for anyone, ever. He gives his children privileges and money, but I'd be surprised if he ever behaves lovingly toward them (except Ivanka, but that's in an icky way). He's an all-purpose, full-time asshole.

I love it. It's perfect. I have never known any other human being who even comes close to being the asshole that is Donald Trump.

I think he believes Christ was a loser for getting arrested, convicted, and slain. I haven't seen anything about his philosophy that is Christian.

In the Bible, the Antichrist comes before the rapture, Armageddon, and the second coming of Christ. Do the endtimers support Trump because they think he will hasten these events?

The same way the end-timers are fanatical about supporting Israel, just so it will stick around long enough to be destroyed in the Second Coming like the Bye-a-bul says.

Delusional, self-aggrandizing, mendacious, and cowardly. I'd say he's closer to Caligula than to Antichrist, and Caligula came to a bad, sad end.
