Trump, King of the Jews

Post by _moksha »

From Trump's recent tweet:
“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words. “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world...and the Jewish people in Israel love him.... like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God...


Trump followed his tweets by saying “I am the chosen one” during an interview with White House reporters.

Bah, this is an empty story.

Nobody cares if Trump declares himself to be the chosen one. Heck, only a few would even dispute that claim and they are reluctant to voice any opposition for fear of some divine wrath.

In the face of madness, rationality has no power - Xiao Wang, US historiographer, 2287 AD.

Every record...falsified, every book rewritten...every statue...has been renamed or torn down, every date...altered...the process is continuing...minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Ideology is always right.

I wonder how many religious fundamentalists recognize how well that description fits Trump, and take heart from that because they believe the coming of the anti-Christ presages the return of the real Christ.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Maybe he's not the Messiah, but again when you're competing against Valerie Jarret or Talib, who would you choose as a Jew?
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I'm disappointed he didn't tell us who the Jewish people in Israel consider to be the first coming of God, but I think Carl Reiner has a real shot.
