Trump Freaks Out After Tucker Carlson Implies He’s the Antichrist (newrepublic.com)

Once a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, conservative political commentator Tucker Carlson has fully turned against him over the war in Iran, going as far as to liken Trump to the Antichrist on his eponymous podcast.

“Could there be a spiritual component to this?” Carlson said on The Tucker Carlson Show on Monday. “Is it just a conventional escalation ladder in a badly thought out war … [or] could it be something bigger? Is it possible 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?”

Carlson went on: “Is it possible that the president sees this in bigger terms? Sees this as the fulfillment of something? An elevation of some higher office beyond president of the United States?”

It's a fitting gotcha comparison commenters everywhere wrote since he took office again, but GOD FUCKING DAMMIT this senile piece of shit is only relevant as a POTUS and everyone's henchman, making him look like a biblical character for good or for bad is giving him too much credit, uphelding the cult of personality the least educated and religiously minded individuals seek to believe in. This sensational exceptionism is not doing anything useful. Fucker Carlson continues to mow down every wrinkle on the brains of his target audience, but today he drives right to left instead of the usual opposite.
