The Republican Messiah: "Does Trump Think He's God?" Politico Article May 30, 2025 [View all]
His takeaway from the Butler attempted assassination (where his ear "grew back" miraculously with no medical records released) have changed him, but not in the way it was reported.
He thinks he was saved by God to enforce an autocratic, authoritarian agenda, egged on by certain "Christian" people who view him as their Messiah.
Contrary to most of church history and Biblical interpretations which warn of a coming singular individual who will proclaim himself as God, many of the MAGA cultists have blindly followed their Messiah.
This is an interesting article.
