So Trump is autographing Bibles; and these people, who claim to be followers of Christ, fail to see their own idolatry.

Even more darkly humorous (or horrifying, depending on your point of view) is that these same people look at a genuinely decent Christian family man who tried to help people - former President Obama - and they denounce him as the Antichrist.

Whereas the not actually Christian, or indeed, religious at all Donald Trump, a man who values money above all else, a man who is unfaithful in every aspect of his life - his marriages, his works, and how he treats people, a man who embodies the very essence of avarice and greed and is clearly a pathological liar, is, in their eyes, a “good Christian man”.

You know, I could sort of see this happening (maybe) if Trump was some kind of David Koresh figure and he’d managed to get a cult of 50 or 100 people to believe this, but inexplicably, he has convinced tens of millions of Americans of this - we’re seeing an actual quasi-religious political cult of personality that would make Jim Jones seethe with envy.
