Donald Trump and his Minions: Aliens, Extraterrestrials, “Gods,” Demons, or ‘Fallen Angels?’

Donald Trump and his Minions: Aliens, Extraterrestrials, “Gods,” Demons, or ‘Fallen Angels?’

Donald Trump isn’t campaigning — he’s staging a spectacle. Trump’s rhetoric and provocative social posts are less about theology and more about getting attention, however, the wrong kind. When the Iran conflict broke out, the Pope (as pontiffs tend to do) spoke out against the war.

Trump deliberately started a fight with the American-born Pope Leo XIV. He subsequently posted a picture of himself as Jesus, one with some rather demonic imagery in it, which set the internet on fire. The president, for some reason, also claimed that Pope Leo was soft on crime and even wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon!

Aside from no-holds-barred religion bashing, on Islam too, Trump being an equal opportunity bigot (though it is interesting to note he never criticises Judaism) election campaigning is starting out in various states, and if voter turnout dips to the lowest possible point on the Republican side, the fallout will soon be felt.

Remember that Trump went on social media the morning of Easter Sunday and unleashed an unhinged threat, demanding that Iran “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” before adding, “Praise be to Allah.” Muslim leaders denounced the post as blasphemous. Two days later, he went further, threatening that “a whole civilization will die.”

I think it will. The Trump team will be in for trouble, at least, they should be!

Already the signs of what is to come are seen in one race in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, where potential voters are being bombarded non-stop with political ads by and about Nate Morris and Andy Barr—the two candidates in the primary for the midterm elections, Republican Party. The commercials show what pathetic excuses for human beings they both are. This is shown both by how they attack the other and what they say about themselves. Barr proudly, practically, labels himself a white supremacist.

Barr saying he’s against DEI is not a sin to be white when you find out what DEI stands for, which most people do not know, and being a proud white male and being against amnesty for immigrants is equivalent to him saying he’s a white supremacist. Nate Morris proudly says he’s against amnesty. It appears that most people have no critical thinking skills; unfortunately, they take these words at face value and do not dig deep. They cannot “read between the lines” – it is as if someone erased those lines a long time ago.

I hate to be called a conspiracy theorist; however, what is going on in the world indicates that there is some method in the madness. This reminds me of Bill Cooper, dating back to 1992, when he made a series of statements that, at the time, sounded extreme, irrational, and impossible. But decades later, many of his words feel uncomfortably familiar.

In this video, we go back to those original recordings — breaking down what he actually said, the patterns he pointed to, and why so many people believe we might be watching parts of it unfold right now before our very eyes.

Is that what midterm elections will be all about?

In the meantime, it appears that Trump and his minions, MAGA INCLUDED, are crashing and burning over the price of fuel and needless wars. But what may divide him the most from his base is mocking Jesus Christ with his distasteful postings and even ending some with Praise Allah!

He has not only gone after the Pope, leader of the world’s largest Christian religion, on a personal level. Trump even claimed that the Pope is only Pope because of him. Not to discriminate, and keeping to MO, Trump has also insulted Islam, a religion of 1 billion followers, calling for the elimination of an entire civilization, in this case, that of Iran — the ancient Persians.

Even JD Vance weighed in on criticizing the Pope, God’s representative on earth for Catholics, at a TURNING POINT USA rally, trying to claim the right to decide what the Pope can and cannot do—and that he should be very careful when talking about theology.

That sounds like a threat to me, something out of the dark ages of European history. Trump later had the infamous post of himself as Christ deleted, which is very unusual. He then tried to walk it back by claiming he was not imitating Jesus, but it was one showing him as a doctor healing people. And it is the fault of the ‘fake news’ to misrepresent his true intentions.

Getting Trump’s Goat!

Trump must have taken one of the Pope’s own posts too personally when he described how God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice, and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud.

Trump responded in his usual way, “Will someone tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed protestors in the last two months, and for Iran to get a nuclear bomb is absolutely unacceptable?” Ending his post with AMERICA IS BACK.

Back from where, Twilight Zone?

About everything he wrote is false, especially the numbers killed, and circumstances, and many of the protestors were anything but innocent, armed to the teeth by the US government. However, what is perhaps the most shocking, at least for those who went to Sunday School, is that he sent out a memo that depicted himself, Jesus-like, AI-generated, laying hands, healing a man, with the backdrop of the American flag and airborne troops or demons descending from the sky, with some kind of winged creature of hell, or perhaps fallen angels ascending; I will leave that to your imagination.

It is like some kind of biblical prophecy from Revelations or the Book of Enoch. It is clear, based on destiny or reality, regardless, Trump is being controlled by big investment, BIG money, a higher authority, and it is not the BIG man upstairs … Trump’s every action has always been directly motivated by financial return, political pork, and how the world and his base perceive him. It is as if he is a child that will do anything to get attention, and whatever ramping up it takes to maintain it.

What we are seeing is something that few can fathom, as it is too far out of the box. And he has three more years to go, unless some greater power can clip his wings; perhaps the 25th Amendment can be used to remove him from office. The problem here is that JD Vance is almost as bad, at least for now.

Nonetheless, hold on for the ride: we can expect escalation, not restraint, from Trump and team—more culture-war flashpoints, sharper attacks on institutions (religious, political, and media), and messaging designed to dominate headlines during the midterm election season.

The key signal isn’t the specific insult of the day—it’s whether the strategy continues to successfully shift focus away from policy issues (like the economy or fair elections, not to mention Israeli lobby money) and onto spectacle for the sake of distraction.

Media coverage is insightful

It is interesting to look at how these events are reported in the American media. The clash between Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Pope Leo XIV is fragmented rather than coherent. This shows the broader polarization of the U.S. information ecosystem. Straight news outlets largely frame the episode as an unusual and consequential confrontation between political and religious authority, emphasizing its connection to foreign policy disputes and its break from historical norms.

What makes the coverage confusing—or even feel like subterfuge—is not necessarily deliberate deception, but the way it is reported based on ownership of various media, and those who dismiss it as just more of the same, not to be taken seriously, are those with financial interests close to the elites. Audiences are effectively consuming different versions of the same event: Trump as Jesus vs. Trump as a Red Cross-like doctor.

And what comes next, with elections?

This is one that takes the proverbial cake; I wouldn’t be surprised if he at least tried to delay them. But what would happen if he tried? Is it that a ‘bunch of places’ would just have elections anyway, and Trump and his blessed candidates would lose them? It is not a win-win situation for the Trump White House, his ticket, and not his VP. Either they are all crazy as ‘Mad Hatters,’ or they are playing a high-stakes game that is beyond my ability to understand.
