Trump isn't long for this world. The American empire is starting to crack. Huge swaths of white protestant Americans are fully on board with Christian nationalism. Distrust of science and education is fully mainstream with christianized new age woo woo and antivax shit only growing in popularity. Climate change will only worsen, and more disasters will happen. The aforementioned huge swaths of white protestants climate change denial is already a part of their core beliefs. We're one charismatic sermon away from evangelicals deciding the USA is the holy land and incorporating Americas founding myths and "values" into a new version of the Bible. Basically Mormons 2. I could be wrong, that such a movement won't be so widespread. But it's gonna happen one way or another.

The Apocalypse has a genius touch where the Antichrist must come first and deceive people into thinking he is Christ before the Real Christ returns. It ensures anyone with two braincells avoids the title.

That's not to say the prophecy won't eventually be fulfilled by some evangelist.

If you wanna use it cynically, can't you just say "yeah the last famous guy [Trump in this case] was the antichrist and that's why things suck now, but I'm the real deal"?

stairs Recursively, Obama was the antichrist, so that's why Trump was the real christ.

People do that with people they don't like all the time but it never actually sticks because the accused never claimed to be Christ. You don't want to be the first person claiming to be Christ.
