Trump Supporters Are Now Asking If He's the Antichrist

Trump Supporters Are Now Asking If He’s the Antichrist

April 13, 2026 at 1:44 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

https://politicalwire.com/2026/04/13/trump-supporters-are-now-asking-if-hes-the-antichrist/


Wired: “In a matter of days, MAGA media figures have gone from defending President Donald Trump as God’s chosen president to making the case that he is actually the antichrist.”

“The accusations reached a fever pitch on Sunday night, after Trump posted an AI-generated image depicting himself dressed in a white robe and red sash and placing a hand radiating golden light on a man in a hospital bed. The image, which Trump deleted from Truth Social after around 14 hours, seemed to invoke Jesus Christ, and outraged some supporters who likened Trump’s behavior to the antichrist—a figure in Christian theology who opposes Christ and whose appearance many believe could augur the end of time.”





Trump claims the Jesus-like image he posted was meant to depict him as a doctor

President Donald Trump posted a photo that showed him as a Jesus-like figure. The photo caused a backlash even among some of his supporters. Trump claimed the photo was actually meant to depict him as a doctor. CNN's Kevin Liptak reports from the White House.

to bring the person you built up to be a demigod back down to human level.

I Imagine it would be somewhat like a junkie buying what he's told is the best heroin in the world, then having it turn out to be nothing but corn starch. Complete buzz-kill.

Maybe that's not the best representation of the situation, but Trump is their drug of choice, and having that drug turn out to be complete garbage, and knowing you've been scammed.......well, that's tough for them to face up to.

Trump himself is having a personal re-entry moment, but for him I wish nothing but the worst withdrawal symptoms possible.

I only wish republicans would demand their brains and spines be returned, and then set the orange shithead adrft at 60° south latitude in a cheap toy plastic raft. 😁

According to end times the AntiChrist brings peace to the middle east for 3.5 years...then the peace treaty is broken and chaos sets in. Jesus Christ then returns and makes war against the AntiChrist and majority of earth dwellers and throws all of them into the Lake of fire judgement

No one is surprised that trump took down the image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure — prompting ridicule from onlookers.

After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure — prompting ridicule from onlookers.

“Thou shalt always TACO… Trump 3:16,” quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.....

Later on Monday morning, however, Trump – or his staffers – appeared to have deleted the social media post, prompting some to take further digs at the president, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Now delete your presidency,” Newsom wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 3 million followers.

Growing up around quite a few of the more conservative Christian denominations, I believe he may have just torpedoed himself with a lot of folks.

You can get away with a lot of claims, leaning heavily on the Good Book and charisma. But claiming you are Him is a big no-no, in any form. Claim you can heal, claim you can hear Him... Hell, you can claim to play golf with Him. Just don't even hint you're the Guy.

Once doubt is planted with any People of Faith, the doors can close pretty hard.

You'll definitely see a wheat from the chaff sorta thing go on locally, as people split up trying to wrap their head around mutually exclusive options. They'll pick one or the other, and you'll know who is deceived.

So, a net good. Remember, Easter season isn't done yet. Still a few miracles to go before the final act.

I don't trust any main-stream reporting - none of them are really vested in religions.

Of course there are only 2,000 viable xian cults out there (I made that up), so keeping track on all of them as they rapidly change their messaging would be impossible.

I think we know the Roman Catholics (except for their own splinters) are not huge fans.

I've got to run out and stock up on popcorn and butter.

It's a belief system that runs contrary to everything Jesus taught; a movement lead by Satanic individuals such as Donald Trump.
He's a personification of the anti-Christ. So is Stephan Miller, Putin, Netanyahu, the Ayatollah Khomeini, Viktor Orban, Kim Jong Un, and many others like them.
Their main goal is to have it all; to exercise domination and control over everything and everybody in their sphere.
They are loveless creatures that espouse a philosophy of hate.

The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. 6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Sun Apr 19, 2026, 05:46 PM

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."


--Revelation 6.7-8

Trump is the fourth horseman. (Dubya Bush was the third...we know this because the third one told the community "hurt not the oil and the wine" - the day before Dubya invaded Iraq he told the Iraqis not to damage their oil resources.) For many years we've been saying "everything Trump touches dies."
