If the Devil had run for President would he have done it any differently then Trump?

[The Wielding Truth]

Think of everything he ran on and the lies and despicable things he stands for:

Greed
Deceit
Vanity
Preying on the fearful and the prideful
Humiliating anyone who calls him out or sees him for who he is
Degrading women, minorities and disabled
Promising the lost their needs and fondest wishes
Ignoring the work and declaring his magical abilities to make the best deals
The list goes on and on...

It is amazing that I can see no differences for neither have any redeeming social value.

Both have their own agenda. I guess you could say that the devil is unconventional, too.

1. Well one difference is Satan is red and Trashpot is orange. That's about it.

[The Wielding Truth]

5. Who knows if that's his real color? Odd isn't it. That he is so in tune with his actions.

His cabinet. The untold wealth and how they got it. Putin's friendship and his welcoming outreach to dictators and cool disdain for those working for sustainable reasonable relations. His loathing of the physically attractive and the need for petty revenge.

How no one really knows what to expect next and how he can doublespeak in the same sentence and you hear his words but all you are left with is I hope he means something good. Then you find out he didn't.

Those around him are so opposite in desires from the freedom and equality and goodness that America has always tried to stand for.

2. hey you're onto something!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. Doubtful.

[marybourg]

4. "The Devil" is an invention.

The tRump is real.

[The Wielding Truth]

6. Yet we are familiar with the deeds of a devil character. I could have compared him to Stalin or

Hitler. They were real but they are somehow heroes in the eyes of the Trump followers. I think the devil is still clear to them.

21. dont how what you call it

but yeah the devil is real.

[Jean-Jacques Roussea]

7. No

Because the devil could actually craft an effective and progressive legislature

[The Wielding Truth]

8. They are agnostic and therefore able to craft effective and progressive legislature.

Interesting although they call it Satanic they say they are agnostic and do not worship the Devil.

9. He ran

He cheated
He's a KGB tool.

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Seems like he's made a deal and now he can put it in play. So wrong. So selfish.

[JHB]

11. Devil or anti-Christ? Hmmm...

From http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/blog/antichrist/

A little context: the cartoonist, Dave Willis, grew up in a strict conservative evangelical household, and Joyce, the little kid/older kid/young woman in this progression is something of an alter-ego of his about how that bubble bursts for some people, and of some of the hypocrisies that manifest in the people for whom it doesn't burst.

[The Wielding Truth]

14. Yep.There's a truly deceitful thing going on with the 1%.

[Orsino]

12. The Devil would have done it competently.

Wouldn't have left so much to chance. Wouldn't have flip-flopped hourly.

No, Trump was just being his weak-willed, weak-minded self.

[TrekLuver]

16. LOLLLLLLLLLL so true

[Ken Burch]

13. Satan would have been more subtle.

When you're the TRUE king of the underworld, you never need to overplay.

(...or so I've heard...)

[Glassunion]

15. I don't think that satan would have been such a pompous asshole

[The Wielding Truth]

17. I wouldn't think anything would be past him if it gave the greedy more and got him their soul.

[Glassunion]

18. The Devil is smooth. He won't steal your soul, or bully you for it.

When he's done, you want him to have it.

The racist Cheeto uses his big mouth, and brutish tactics to bully what he wants.

The Devil uses his mojo.

[The Wielding Truth]

19. If you believed in the devil, he would be smooth? Yet it seems the character can be tricked.

Many folklore has him being out maneuvered. His "deals" go awry and he is out smarted or made to back down. After all, he is an outcast.

I see them both as evil and unassuming. Their rise to power comes from solid foolish belief in their facade.

Once he and Trump are exposed it would still take a lot of work to remove them from the their game.

20. The devil is not all knowing and has high hubris so he can be tricked by someone willing to sacrafic

[Glassunion]

22. Just have Johnny cut heads against him in a fiddle playing contest.

That should send him packing.
