Is Trump the Antichrist, wonders Tucker Carlson

The culture wars tearing apart MAGA continue, this time with some of its leading figures using the Easter break to fight over… whether President Trump might actually be the Antichrist.

Tucker Carlson, the former Fox man turned podcaster, this weekend used his show to mull on Trump’s true reasons for pursuing his war in Iran, suggesting he may be pursuing “the elevation to some higher office beyond president of the United States” and earning himself the wrath of his erstwhile comrades.

Carlson – tipped to be a Republican presidential contender – wondered aloud, “could there be a spiritual component to what we’re watching? Is it just a conventional escalation ladder in a badly thought-out war with ill-defined goals, and we just wound up in this really tough place where we face either humiliation on the one side or a nuclear launch on the other? Yeah, that’s part of what it is.” It certainly is – but Carlson has another idea.

“Or could it be something bigger than that?” he continues. “Is it possible that what you’re watching is a very stealthy yet incredibly effective attack on what, from a Christian perspective, is the true faith, belief in Jesus? Is that what’s really under attack here? Maybe that’s what’s been under attack for a long time.

“Is it possible that the president sees this not just in geostrategic terms and military terms and economic terms – gotta open the Strait, OK. Is it possible the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfilment of something? Or the elevation to some higher office beyond president of the United States? That’s entirely possible.

“And that’s not an attack. But it’s also not a guess. Because at every turn since the inauguration last January there have been religious leaders on the scene telling us – telling us, out loud… we’ve ignored that this could actually be real. There’s something going on here.”

Lawks! Carlson’s prophesying has not gone down well with those MAGAites still on the Trump loyalist wing, with crackpot conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer writing how “by riling people up with lies about how President Trump is the anti-Christ, Tucker Carlson appears to be trying to incite someone to physically harm President Trump.

“How can anyone who claims to be loyal to the President continue making excuses for Tucker? I hate Tucker Carlson.” Play nicely, you crazy kids!
