To think Trump will declare himself as a God?

Barron always looks sad. The poor kid needs to go to college, take a break from both his parents and discover life.

I thought the whole "god saved me from the assassination so that I could save America" thing was funny.

Why wouldn't god just save him from getting shot at all.

Barron "looked arrogant"? I didn't know you could tell that someone was arrogant by just looking at them - fascinating! Is this a new science?

He's an 18 year old young man who is almost 7ft tall. He's going to standout. I'm sure like most 18 year olds he's uncomfortable being the focus of attention. Try to not be so ridiculous🙄

I think people just like to find things to scare themselves about. For some people it's riding a rollercoaster, for others it's watching a horror film and for some it's fantasizing that Trump is going to take over the universe. To each their own.

It makes total sense - a huge chunk of his followers are very religious and this would totally speak to them.

Why do you say he is an atheist?
It makes zero sense for an atheist to say God saved me, followed by a purpose. That is a proper religious person speech.
Internet tells me he is a christian, though not particular denimination/ may have been prebyrarian.

For me, He is already is a God. He doesn't need to declare it. 😳 This cheetos make-up tutorial proves it.

You need to go and hang out on some of the MAGA web spaces, they have been calling him the second coming for years.

It is quite scary and very blasphemous.

No it isn’t

when you are told this from a child and treated and live as though you are special why would you question it

but many people believe their path was chosen by god

why not, many believe jesus was the son of god, and he was human so if its good for jesus and we have to have faith

He's not stupid and he is an atheist so no, that is unlikely. The lack of fear when being shot is due to him being a sociopath.

Do not be silly. He cannot do such a thing!
He will call God and make God make him a God. LOL
God of the Earth and Mars and the space in between.
Most definitive US, Canada, Greenland and Panama canal, shortly followed by Middle East, UK, Germany..... all the way to Mars.

Our late queen was open about the fact that she genuinely believed that she had been appointed by god to be queen. I don't know if the current king feels the same, I assume so? Not very different, is it?

he is very typical of cult leaders, overly confident in their own abilities, risk takers, charismatic, an ability to be very astute at reading their audience, high levels of narcissistic traits and he has comfortably won the most prized role in world politics with almost ultimate power at his hands

plus cult followers that he knows have absolute faith in him. He was telling us this years ago

he is already making claims he was chosen he sees himself as the saviour of the USA

But then so does Elon Musk … it won’t be long before the cracks show in those around him

I thought it was pretty iconic when Elon Musk's starship exploded across the sky. Maybe he did it on purpose

I can see him doing a Henry the 8th… as in his god appointed and speaks directly to his therefore is the ultimate power in earth…

He won't do it... people around him will do it.

MAGA

make all this go away!

Who cares? Piece of advice if you hate the man do not give him any space. Nothing is going to changed the results and people knew enough bad things about him before they elected him for a second time. It is you who is getting hurt he will be happy in spite of your misery. Think about it!

I'm also avoiding coverage. I am also concerned that Trumps aim is to establish a hereditary dictatorship. I don't think just the US is screwed. He's stuck two fingers up to the climate

In fairness, that's actually part, if not the entirety, of their job description.

nothing would surprise me but I was more concerned about Barron who if its possible looked even more arrogant than his father, and the positioning of the family as a whole as some kind of dynasty in waiting

This is getting ridiculous now

He probably has a Messiah complex. Musk undoubtedly does. But it wouldn't be part of our culture for a leader to declare themselves actually a god, to be worshipped. Not in so many words.

He is a highly dangerous demagogue. People seem to be less horrified and shocked this time round which is even more alarming.

In the ultra fast speed social media driven world where there is no objective truth, where there is black and white, uncritical thinking, where context and nuance mean nothing- populist monsters like him are thriving.

The shooting was an absolute gift and I knew it would be built into his narrative. God saved Trump so He could Make America Great Again.

It's as old as time. See also: the Divine Right of Kings. Happily that was seen off by our forbears who were far wiser than many of our contemporaries seem to be.
