Even Trump Supporters Are Questioning Whether He’s Actually The Antichrist

Is Donald Trump the antichrist?

It's a question some of the loudest voices

in MAGA media are asking themselves.

Even previously staunch supporters were outraged

after Trump posted an AI generated image

that appeared to depict himself as Jesus Christ.

Although he later deleted the picture

and claimed he thought the image showed to him as a doctor.

Clint Russell

hosted the right-wing Liberty Lockdown Podcast,

wrote on X in response.

In 18 months, I went from hesitantly voting for Trump

to thinking there's a decent chance he's the antichrist.

Also writing on X, far-right Texas Pastor Joel Webbon said,

I genuinely believe Trump is currently demon possessed.

Responding to the Jesus like AI generated image

Trump had posted on Truth Social,

Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote,

It's more than blasphemy, it's an antichrist spirit.

Trump and his supporters of long used

explicitly religious rhetoric

and images to mobilize his base.

But especially since the start of the war with Iran,

Trump's actions, including a very public

and heated row with Pope Leo, have caused a major schism

among his supporters that could have lasting effects for him

and the Republican party,

particularly if he's deserted by Catholic voters.

On Easter Sunday, Trump used his Truth Social platform

to threaten to destroy civilian infrastructure

in Iran writing, Open the fucking Strait

you crazy bastards,

or you'll be living in hell,

just watch, Praise be to Allah.

This post prompted conservative pundit Tucker Carlson,

who has previously claimed that Trump

survived the assassination attempt

in Butler, Pennsylvania by divine intervention,

to publish a 43 minute long opening monologue

in which he claimed the war against Iran

was also a war on the Christian faith.

Carlson never used the word antichrist,

but MAGA media figures like Alex Jones

and users of the Donald Trump 666 Subreddit

believed that was his insinuation.

Trump has also speculated that divine intervention saved him

during the attempt on his life,

and that, one expert told Wired,

is part of the problem for him now.

Robert Jones, the President

and founder of the Public Religion Research Institute,

said that people were reaching for the Antichrist label

because Trump had set the stage for that himself, so.
