End Times for Donald Trump

Trump was getting some great press there for awhile, but it all kind of fell apart with the President releasing his birth certificate and then going on to humiliate 'the Donald' at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Of course that same day President Obama made the decision to take out Osama bin Laden, so it was a twofer weekend for the President.

Earlier in the month Trump had been vetted by Rev. Franklin Graham son and heir to Rev. Billy Graham who was one of our first national evangelical leaders and adviser to many presidents. When asked if Mr Trump was his favorite candidate, Rev Graham the younger told ABC's "This Week" program, "Sure, yes... When I first saw that he was getting in, I thought, well, this has got to be a joke," Rev Graham said. "But the more you listen to him, the more you say to yourself, you know, maybe this guy's right." At the time Trump was polling at the top of the Republican heap of presidential candidates with a robust 40 plus percent and attacking the president non stop on the now defunct Birther issue.

Franklin Graham, no stranger to the far side of conservative politics called the March 11th earth quake and tsunami in Japan, the probable start of the end times, and had previously challenged Obama's citizenship and even his faith. Graham said, "Now he (Obama) has told me that he is a Christian...For him, going to church means he's a Christian. For me, the definition of a Christian is whether we have given our life to Christ and are following him in faith and we have trusted him as our lord and savior." Apparently Graham can look into people's souls. Can you imagine Billy Graham questioning Johnson's and Nixon's faith, or Reagan's and Bush's religious conviction?


Trump, twice divorced and a previous supporter of abortion rights, would hardly seem a good fit for the most devout Rev. Franklin Graham, so it is fair to ask what the two might have in common. After much consideration it seems they both have had a nightmarish encounter with  the same brown skinned, eloquent and competent anti-Christ and  a date with a fast approaching end times. In Trump's case it is the end times of his presidential aspirations.

Also curious is the idea of endorsing political candidates in the midst of the end times. It seems a little late for presidential politics.

  2. Trump played you all like a violin, the support from the crazy birthers on the right and the indignant reaction from the left all just propelled his name to the headlines for a little while - which is all he wanted.

    Pres, good or bad is still press and Trump has a reality TV show and a casino that require constant advertising - you have now helped him to make more money - your mom would be so proud.
