Trump Freaks Out After Tucker Carlson Implies He’s the Antichrist (newrepublic.com)

Once a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has fully turned against him over the war in Iran, going as far as to liken Trump to the Antichrist on his eponymous podcast.

“Could there be a spiritual component to this?” Carlson said on The Tucker Carlson Show on Monday. “Is it just a conventional escalation ladder in a badly thought out war … [or] could it be something bigger? Is it possible what you’re watching is a very stealthy yet incredibly effective attack on what, from a Christian perspective, is the true faith: belief in Jesus?”

Carlson went on: “Is it possible that the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfillment of something? An elevation of some higher office beyond president of the United States?”

The devil is the pinnacle of vanity per his origin story. He gets one shot at inhabiting a physical form. Ya really think he’s going poses a spray-tanned, twat-necked, obese, incontinent dude on the cusp of 80? Lucifer has standards.

it could also be that it inhabits a vessel that views itself as the epitomy of "beauty", like a cruel mockery. hes a psychopathic narcissist which is part of the reason he raped and ate children with epstein, it wasnt the act itself, but its the corruption that fuels him, the corruption of everything and everyone around him, to make them ugly and corrupt or "beautiful" as he thinks he is. the antichrist stands in firm opposition to christ, that could mean a mirrored version, or a corruption of beauty itself, being seen as "beautiful" to the antichrist, and those who follow him.

there are maga cultists who think he is the epitomy of desire, which to them, is power, wealth, and perceived strength, even if the vessel is a physically weak old man, his station is what they view as valuable, desirable.

so, does the antichrist need to inhabit a beautiful vessel? or a vessel that inhabits a position of power, and wields it in a way thought to be beautiful and desirable by those who would follow him, and be corrupted by him?

im not religious. just a thought.

This is shown by looking at his demon followers with "Mar-a-Lago face"

Please, don't. It only gives them power.

These eldritch beings need to be chained up in the center of the Earth.
