The whole point of the antichrist is they rise to power by exploiting Christians and their faith...

Like, everything about the two line up that I'm starting to think trump is literally using the myth as a blueprint. Like, at some point someone told him about it, and his first and only thought was:

I bet they're dumb enough to really fall for that

I think it's kind of the opposite. The Bible was written as a response to and warning of human greed. The fashion in which people come to power has changed since then, but human greed doesn't change.

The irony is not lost that the Bible itself was turned into a tool for greed and oppression, but I think that the actual core of the religion (Christ's teachings or whatever) were meant to warn people about the dangers of doing greedy human things.

Dude has a literal golden goat.... That's would be a pretty big coincidence.

Don't forget his first Christian supporters was the Evangelicalists. People who got so tired of waiting for the apocalypse they decided to help it along to get to the rapture.

That's what's up with the Israel support as well, it's supposed to start there, and it's supposed to be a "Jewish Kingdom".

That and the antichrist coming to power are the two big things, it's not implausible they think trump is the actual antichrist, understand how terrible he is, but want to give him ultimate power to hasten judgement day

It's not rational, but there's logic to it.
