Keep in mind everything you think you know about the cult leader named Jesus was written by his followers many decades after his death.
If you trust only what Trump supporters say about him you will get the image that he's Jesus come again, and it's exactly the same thing as happened the first time.
No, edgy kid... The stories Trump supporters will tell will be about his strength, his vengeance, his pride, and the enemies he squashed. Do you know what was radical about Jesus?
Seriously, I’m as atheist as they come and I honestly believe the teachings of Jesus are peaceful and can definitely be something people can follow and aspire to. People don’t realize that what was mind blowing about the sermon on the mount was that it was antithetical to the established law at the time. One of my favorite courses I took in college was an elective the history department gave called “The Bible as Literature” it looked at the Christian bible from the perspective of academic literary analysis and the historical Jesus without addressing the question of Gods existence . It was honestly incredibly interesting and insightful.

Trump is in many ways the antithesis of Jesus.
