      Bro. There is a guy who literally started a war over nothing, killing and raping indiscriminately, and threatening with nukes.

      And there is a dude in a nation of more than a billion people, running concentration camps, possibly committing genocide as we speak.

      And to define the Antichrist, you’re focused on U.S. politics???

        Someone mentioned this somewhere else in the thread, but the antichrist isn’t just a super-duper evil dude; he’s an evil dude with a religious following. He’s a guy where people voluntarily worship him. Not because they’re forced, not because they’re apathetic and just going with the flow, they willingly worship him. Additionally, trump has had pastors claim him to be sent from God, or that he is some kind of savior, which, iirc, is another characteristic of the antichrist. As evil as the others are, I’m pretty sure trump fits the bill better than they do.
