(11,767 posts)Even when I was practicing, I would not have chosen Trump as an anti-Christ figure.
The anti-Christ was characterized at least in Catholic Church lore, not as an evil person doing evil things, but as a worldly person. Someone who was sophisticated. Someone who actually started off by doing good deeds. The anti-Christ would gather the world to himself under the auspices of peace and unity, but ultimately lead people astray by deception and ultimately declare war on Christ.
The problem is that there are a lot of interpretations of the "anti-Christ" so anyone can be called that. In history, there were dozens of church leaders that were called "anti-Christ"
Trump is a buffoon. He is a low level gangster that got elevated to the Presidency with the help of the Republican Party and foreign help in order to weaken the United States for personal gain, political power, and geopolitical gain. He is stupid and is only dangerous because there are enough authoritarian, racist pieces of trash in this country that would destroy democracy for a chance at power. He is a carnival barker, not a leader.
