Shortly before his death in 1900, the Russian philosopher and poet Vladimir Soloviev completed A Short Story of the Anti-Christ.
He described his fictional twenty-first century character (based on the Biblical antichrist) this way: He loved only himself. . . . This man would bow down before the power of Evil as soon as it would offer him a bribe.
His conception of his higher value showed itself in practice . . . in seizing his privilege and advantage at the expense of others . . . . The moral achievement of Christ and his uniqueness were beyond an intellect so completely clouded by self-love as his, which displayed a complete absence of true simplicity, frankness, and sincerity.
I was reminded of Solovievs story by a recent History News Network article in which Ed Simon asked, If the anti-Christ is supposed to be a manipulative, powerful, smooth-talking demagogue with the ability to sever people from their most deeply held beliefs, who would be a better candidate than the seemingly indestructible Trump?

Gawd, they became nothing but trash at least starting with the first Clinton term.
Newsweak is the devils publication.
hmmm, they never asked this question of Obamatard when he was in office..
Sounds more like Obama than Trump....................
gee, some of the commie leftist mass propaganda media
is really reaching far out
to try to keep up their
smear campaign against our new president
they make themselves look ridiculous, deranged
but
it all does have some harmful impact, nevertheless, at least on the larger social ethos
Gobbels would be proud!
Whoa! Trump just received a promotion, from dead dictators like Hitler & Stalin to a much more powerful & dangerous figger like the Antichrist.
Kinda cool, in a twisted leftie way.
What an ass. Just because hes a turned away catholic and a Russian history expert doesnt make him specially qualified to identify antiChrist
Actually, that better describes Barack Obama than Donald Trump..
OBAMA...Yep, that was my first thought, too!
For so long now theyve accused President Trump of being a bumbling speaker. Now hes some smooth talker that converts unbelievers to his false tale? Their narrative changes daily.
Their greatest fear is coming true - the man theyve called the most divisive in history is uniting the masses behind the TRUTH that theyve hidden for so long. And once the truth does come out, they will lose everything.
Newsweak is not even suitable for wiping the s-hole with.
It’s rather amazing the lengths these people will go to, even digging up an obscure article from over 100 years ago, to trash Trump with.
When it comes to movie and television plots, I’ve heard it said that there are only very few actual plots, and those plots are dressed up to look like something new and innovative, to attract an audience.
When it comes to trashing this president, there’s only one plot. It’s finding a reason to hate on him, with a variation of that single plot.
Plot:
1. find trash to smear Trump with (true or not)
2. embellish at will
3. act like this is finally it, the final nail in his impeachment coffin
4. bring the author on a number (never enough of them for the left) television talk shows to heap praise on them for this new cutting edge insight
5. describe it as undeniable true (when they know quite often it isn’t), a cutting edge issue, and very serious
6. rinse and repeat
This is getting so old...
We need to get the Leftists a 2017-2021 participation award.
Maybe they’d feel better about themselves and knock it off.
(as if)
You shall know the tree by the fruit it bears.
Pro Life says a lot.
Trump’s a smooth talker?
Heheh.
I dont have my not this s**t again gif on my phone, but when I get home Ill put it up.
Actually, he even goes on to quote Francis at length at the end on what he thinks a “good leader” should say and do.
Seems to me that the Lib Media has been describing Trump right along as a barely literate buffoon.
So now they are trying to say that Trump can talk your flinty grandfather out of his last chaw of tobacy and have him thank him for the pleasure.
Has New Squeak paid off it’s delinquent taxes yet?
Father Rutler is no slouch. I think it's more likely that Kamala Harris is a succubus.
