The United States of America is now officially an authoritarian power on the world stage. We are now the bad guys openly and apparently our government is completely unapologetic and even proud of that fact.

If you support any part of this, you are an evil person. It's that simple.

Some misguided person describes Donald Trump as the "spiritual father of our country."

Some misguided person describes Donald Trump as the "spiritual father of our country."

When (not if: see Matthew 24) persecution of Christians starts in earnest in the USA and elsewhere, demon-possessed Donald Trump and his fake christian supporters will be a primary reason.

Spoiler Alert - Jesus has a message for Trump and his supporters:

Trump and his collection of crooks claim to follow Jesus. But it is clear that they instead serve what Jesus calls "the father of lies."

Reminder: faith leaders in Chicago have repeatedly protested for the right to do this.

It was the focus of a major protest last November (along with decrying DHS's treatment of migrants), that led to the arrest of 7 faith leaders outside Broadview. religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly,  ‘I never knew you.  Away from me, you evildoers!’ - Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:21-23

Thing is: there are Christians who have been fooled by Trump and his enablers. And there are those who fooled others into viewing them as fellow Christians. The latter prefer Trump's 'Christianity' over the genuine article.
