Is Donald Trump actually an Anti-Christ?
This informative video seems to show that if you believe in the Bible, then that book points to Trump as being the source of evil.
This either proves the Bible is a fairy story and not to be believed, or else it is the truth, in which case how can any Christian vote for Trump?
Video is less than 4 mins and worth watching whichever way you believe.

I went to a Catholic school until I was 11 years old, where the Bible wasn't belaboured. For example, I didn't know the Ten Commandments in detail (I think it was considered age inappropriate), but I was taught to conduct myself according to the ways that Jesus said people should conduct themselves.
I don't agree with everything I was taught (either overtly, or covertly) by any stretch of the imagination, but I do think I was given a very good grounding in ethical analysis and best practise.
Despite not being Evangelical Christian I liked your challenge and I started to write down the seven points listed in the video you reposted.
My intention was to look at what the bible does say about the Anti-Christ, but what struck me about that list is that it might equally apply to a narcissistic personality. I therefore question whether there is any reason why the authors of the Bible might not recognise behaviours that are antithetical to those espoused by Jesus who was perhaps the antithesis of narcissism.
I certainly have no issue with the idea that just about everything Trump says and does grates on the values I was taught as a child. To be fair, some of the things I was taught as a child grated on the values I was taught as a child, but luckily, I got to take away the bits that mattered the most.
I'd be very interested if someone better versed in the Bible than I were to evaluate that video.
I am not Christian but believe that Trump is an example of how not to be, or of someone that should not be in a position of political power. I am assuming that the traits that are discussed in the video that are considered Christian, are opinions that are shared values of most people. Unfortunately, the Republican party have been hijacked by the extreme Christian right and they do not care about the appearance of Trump or his personal values. They want someone to cave into their agenda and what ever vision they have. I actually think these extreme right Christians in the Republican party are themselves not Christians but people who are in fact grifters or have an agenda that is one of domination and control as they use faith as a vehicle to get what they want. Trump is a corrupt person who is willing to be their puppet or participant.
The video might explain why a vote for Trump is not in their best interest to believers but the Trumpettes are probably too far gone to see the logic.
"Not enough people are sounding the alarm, that based on his behavior, and in my opinion, Donald Trump is dangerously demented," psychologist and former Johns Hopkins Medical School professor John Gartner, who wrote a book about Trump's mental health, told Salon.
"This is a tale of two brains," he added. "Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing."
"In my opinion, Donald Trump is getting worse as his cognitive state continues to degrade," Gartner said. "If Trump were your relative, you’d be thinking about assisted care right now."
Others agreed.
"It is meaningful because the confusion of people, in contrast to the occasional forgetting of names, is a sign of early dementia, as noted by the Dementia Care Society," licensed psychologist and founder and executive director of the Washington Center For Cognitive Therapy Vincent Greenwood told the publication.
As for Trump mispronouncing words like "Venezuela" or "migrant crime," experts tend to agree he's exhibiting early signs of "paraphasia," speech disturbances caused by brain damage, and "not just aging," as Greenwood argued.
And others, like clinical psychologist and Cornell University senior lecturer Harry Segal, who specializes in mental health disorders, offer a more nuanced assessment — though not one that inspires much confidence in Trump.
"Since this is an intermittent problem, it suggests that when Trump is especially stressed and exhausted, he suffers cognitive slippage that affects the way he associates words or their meaning," he told Salon. "Note, though, that Trump’s pathological lying is itself a form of mental illness, so these cognitive lapses are literally sitting atop what appears to be an already compromised psychological functioning."
Trump has been exhibiting signs of paraphasia for a long time. The muddling of 'oranges' and 'origins' springs to mind, particularly his confusion/frustration/discomfort at the time, like he sport of knew it was wrong, but the right word wouldn't come to him.
I also read/heard somewhere recently that Trump's partying in the 80's/90's involved cocaine.
Episodic memory relates to autobiographical events such as your first kiss, your wedding, or maybe your first presidential campaign and who it was against. It's about 'remembering', rather than 'knowing' (semantic memory) and creates a sense of self.
It struck me reading this, specifically 'self-awareness' that Trump's narcissism may interact with other cognitive issues. Going back to episodic memory above, those with a severe lack of empathy often have difficulty developing a sense of self without the context of a sense of others.
Being booed at the Sneaker Con, getting a low percentage of the primary votes for an incumbent(ish), the prospect of having his wealth (or lack thereof) exposed, the prospect of losing his businessman image and therefore his sense of self, the prospect of going to prison for the rest of his natural life, a loss of control...all these things may interact with his specific narcissistic personality traits creating a lot of internal conflict and stress.
I'm not trying to diagnose Trump by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just toying with the idea that he might have several issues that are all interacting under extreme stress.
Sir; eYe don't believe you would know an informative video relative to Amerika...
..so perhaps a cartoon will help.
I am European and I always knew this would happen in the US since the US is ruled by the richest and most powerful people where money talks and justuce takes secod place.
Honest simple ordiary Americans can feel this in theie bones. The culture including gunns for everyone, and the economy which this creates give the majority no recognition and no respect for their work. Their industries are changing, their jobs were shifting overseas or lost to automation.
They perceive that Black, Latinx and Asian people, and immigrants, are advancing at their expense.
And loads more which Create Resentmet of The Ruling Establishiment - WHICHEVER GOVERMENT ADMI THIS IS.
Doanld knows how umhappy people are since he is one of those that, God only know how many people he cheated or suffered because he is rich.
So he projects himself as ‘I’m the turnaround guy. I’m going to drain the swamp. I’m going to blow Washington up.’ And so anyone who is unhappy and sissatisfied with this Amercam Culture and Ways of runnig the country - which turns out to be a lot of people - think of him as their savour.

About a quarter of campaign promises were fulfilled, about a quarter he compromised, and about half he did not achieve.
it's just silly making Putin into this monster
when what he did was react to OUR provocation.
It's just immature to think that he or any of his successors
will ever try to make a move on scandinavia.
I simply do not understand that these statesmen in scandinavia seriously think Putin is a threat to our security. I can almost not believe it to such a degree that I sometimes wonder if they are just lying to us on purpose, making the illusion there is a threat only to make american and european arms producers happy.
Or any of the other contractors involved.

Same as in 1999 when he decided to attack Chechnya the West were not involved.
Stop making excused for Putin.

As long as a country is at war they cannot join NATO, so Putin imposed war on Ukraine, and will maintain war for the foreseeable future or he will create a buffer zone, the eastern half (or third) of Ukraine which he will want to keep.

Same as Trump doing a U turn about pulling out of N.A.T.O. if he's re-elected.
to be more independent and less dependent on American support.
America first u see.
So all this pulling out is rethorical to make each member state pay more.
That is why you'll be confused by his appearant u turns as his goal is not to pull out as such
but to pull more money out of member states pockets.

Per capita ha'
Yes they shiver in their underpanties each nite.
Cos Ivan is soo grusome.
You guys go on fearing ok, but trust me there is NOTHING to fear
but fear itself here.
It's all constructed but,
if folks like Nato-Jans and Van der Layen believe their own talking points
even me can't say.
It all sounds like childrens fairy tales to me:
Grusome Ivan may soon come over that ridge. I mean I heard that when I was seriving my time in the army in 1991 man, now 33 years later we're still suposed to believe that fantasy? No I grew up. I heard Putin talk thanks to youtbue, so now OI have a pretty fair idea of who the man is- more or less. U guys been victims of WESTERN propaganda. Yes we thought such did not exists but u cs users here should by now wake up to this new reality. Somebody wants this escalation. And it's not Vlad. Not neseccerilya teh single leadership of each european country either, like Sweden and Finland, but somebody... wants this developement. And we just sit here accept it all, when we could have made friends with this arch enemy in a hand clap!
If he can. There are strong forces against him who have billions to lose on peace.

Using NATO as an excuse to invade a sovereign nation is pathetic in the extreme.

I dont thi k Russai lobved none of those.
Ivan eventually drew a line with Georgia and now Ukraine.
But they were slow and hesitant about this last stand,
that was not even meant to be a war.
Putin hoped his tanks would be deturrent enough when suddenly standing in Kiev,
but he underestimated the invading forces of Nato who was already there,
with much of their latest modern equipment in place.
So here we are: war.
I'm ok with Nato forces
on all former Soviet territory.
Mexico also, same thing.
When I see Russian cruise missiles there I'll adopt you thinking
on Ukrainian membership in the Nato alliance.
Cos then we can talk about a balance in the arms race,
hence world peace.
Show some respect to your enemy, or face the consequenses mate.
And who are you to go there provoke Ivan for me anyway hmm?,
so me and my family next will be potential victims of Ruski retaliation,
and then I mean Atom war full wipeout.
This is why I can not respect your view.
You are gambling with my safety here.
With those strong words I plan to leave this blog.
Anti-christ ay'...

America has been creating war after war more or less since its federation, according to president Carter. America has been engaged in wars whole time except for twenty three years since its federation is what President Carter stated.
America is controlled by the filthy rich at the expense of there bairn washed kids. By my reckoning Russia lost 28 million people during WW2, Putin stated 22 million, millions died in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and so forth. Obama Clinton and Biden engorged the protesters on the streets of Ukraine after the formation of Democratic Russian Federation Constitution was ratified 11th December 1993. You might remember Biden stated he would put troops into Ukraine in 1971.
In my opinion having at least tried to comprehend the subject matter, my opinion is President Putin & China + others nations wont back down...be just another lost course that made profits for a few

Poland is the highest contributor to nato.
Keep believing the lies, it’s entertaining.
Oh there were and are not any nato forces in Ukraine.

There is a table waiting for a peace talk somewhere along the line but who's going to draw up the first chair?
In response, the UK prime minister, Rishi Sunak, confirmed that there are a “small number” of British army personnel “supporting the armed forces of Ukraine”. But he added that “we haven't got any plans for large-scale deployment”.5 Mar 2024
A total of 160 members of the Florida National Guard have been deployed to Ukraine since late November, training and advising and mentoring Ukrainian armed forces. The troops, assigned to the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, are part of the Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine.
Australia ADF personnel are providing critical skills to Ukrainian recruits as part of Operation Kudu to support Ukraine, Over the next 12 months, the number of ADF members deployed on each rotation will increase to 90.14 Dec 2023.
Thanks for your input Rob.
I'm gald to see I'm not the only "crazy" here.
Always happy to see folk with own lifetime experience,
basically more knowledgeable than myself
support the idea that somthing is not quite right.
On a side note, I just heard there is as many as 25.000 (!) lobbyists
in Brussels! I could almost not believe it.

From what I heard Putin is one step away from any roundtable, he just need an sms saying "tea is served" and he'll be there in 15min. Zsky is not far away either, we're waiting for the USA.

China is mindfully implementing non-violence in this region, however mean while Australian's trade with China is being undermined previous large Chinese investments in example Indonesia who is selling cheaper than Australia was. Australian exports have greatly suffered in direct consequence.
China's NPI producers started building processing capacity in Indonesia itself. China's nickel matte imports have exploded from 10,8000 tons in 2020 to 300,500 tons in 2023, with Indonesia accounting for 93% of the total.
4 Mar 2024
Indonesia currently without mobilizing have something like 750,000 armed personnel that figure includes police & police militia. There are currently 21,000 commando's sitting around in Irian Jaya, 450km from Cape York Australia. China has fostered good relationships with most of the 150 Belt & Road Initiative including Russia and is no more likely to back down over Ukraine than Russia. Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, as well as North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, South Africa other nations including nations in South America etc etc.
Lots of deployments listed in blog could shut down international trade sooner than later whether we like it or not, take looksie at Red Sea, Panama Carnal, Strait of Hormuz e.g. oil, no oil, no food in supper market
