Of course, it's a long tradition in American discourse. If I can trust Grok, it goes back at least to FDR.
Grok cites a 2011 Slate article: "How Many Presidents Have Been Accused of Being the Antichrist?/Hint: It’s not just Obama."
I remember why the topic came up in 2011. I blogged about it in "Obama does a great job reacting to a heckler who calls him the Antichrist" ("Obama has the presence of mind to say — responding to the heckled 'Jesus Christ is God, Barack Obama is the Antichrist!' — 'I agree. Jesus Christ is the Lord. I believe in that'").
There's also Ronald Reagan. A man who broke into his home in 1990 told Secret Service agents that Reagan was the Antichrist and "he must be killed and I must kill him." From the contemporaneous NYT article: "Mr. Gordon later told a Los Angeles police officer that he had gone to the estate to strangle Mr. Reagan. But he also said that if he could have talked to the former President privately, he would have simply shaken his hand and told him to help the homeless."
And then people said that electing JFK was like electing the Antichrist. Because he was Catholic.
It's always end times in America.
Meanwhile, in Russia, in the 19th Century, Tolstoy had the Antichrist in the second sentence of "War and Peace":
"Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist — I really believe he is Antichrist — I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself!"

Wired = politics for dummies (Liberal/left version). They couldn't even summarize Tucker's long talk on Sunday correctly. I swear all these liberal/left journalists must go to brainwashing school where they get all the same attitudes and beliefs. And admission is limited to those with IQs under 110. Aka Midwits.
Cool story but why is there a demon descending from the clouds to watch over Doctor Trump? Weird detail.
I don't believe in the Anti-Christ nonsense, but if I did: it's so obviously Trump. In fact its so obviously Trump---so "on the nose"---that it can't be him. He has to be the distraction and the head fake while the real Anti-Christ creeps undetected.
There is no discernment to recognize evil
Im not saying obama is an emissary of the Old gods
But would he have done anything different
There were songs to obama there were pledges by known if not respected persons you could not ridicule ear leader
Trump needs to stop listening to Mark Levin. That's probably where he got the crazy idea to attack the Pope for being against the attack on Iran. At least he didn't call the Pope an Antisemite. LOL.

@overton_news
Bill O’Reilly just put Pope Leo on the spot with the one question no one in the media will ask him.
And with it, he completely exposed the Pope’s double standard in the feud with President Trump.
O’REILLY: “I could mediate a settlement between the Pope and Donald Trump, I could do it.”
“But in such a mediation I would have to ask his holiness very frankly…you had 30,000 people gunned down in Iran just a few weeks ago, we heard nothing from the Vatican on that at all.”
“NOTHING!”
“You have a terror, a government, close to a nuclear weapon.”
“Is it acceptable for the Catholic church to look away from that?”
“As you know, I wrote Confronting Evil, and the theme of the book is that these heinous individuals, they gain power by people looking away.”
“By people not wanting to pay the price, as you put it, for gasoline or food.”
“That’s how they get power.”
“How would you think that Pope Leo would answer that question? Very simple question.”
“Is the Catholic church okay with the mullahs having a nuclear weapon?”
“Your holiness, yes or no?”
“I’m a Catholic, I’d like to know the answer.”
“The Pope will never address that.”
“And that frustrates Donald Trump because the Pope is also an open border guy.”
So is the antichrist good or bad? Seems like the accusation is being used by fans and foes alike.
Simmer in that.
Of course a reading of thessalonians along with revelation suggests he is a religious leader
Napoleon being the antichrist strikes us as humorous today. But Napoleon really was a power-mad freak who loved war and was no way a Christian in any way. Invading Russia was just the natural next step in his desire to control all of Europe. Almost of the land West of the Rhine had been directly annexed to France. And Bonaparts had been placed on almost every throne under his control.
Forturnately, the Czar rescued Europe.
I find it baffling that seemingly intelligent people can even have a conversation about "the antichrist". This is no more rational than the mad mullahs pondering the return of the 12th imam. Christianity has some great precepts in theory, but to actually believe this sort of nonsense?
If the image of Trump as Jesus is AI, shame on him. But if it turns out to be real, shame on Pope Leo.
Bill O'Reilly has always been a moron. Fox replaced him with Tucker and the ratings sky rocked. When they fired Tucker, they didn't ask O'Reilly back. Limbaugh used to call him Ted O'Baxter.
D.D. Driver said...Cool story but why is there a demon descending from the clouds to watch over Doctor Trump? Weird detail.
Sure, why not? We're all agreed that it's Trump as Jesus despite the fact that there is not a single piece of Christian iconography anywhere in the pic, so why not assume you see a demon there as well?
What great wisdom has this modern age with a hundred million dead wrought
Somethings are so obvious even o reilly gets it
Jesus follower Peter cut off the right ear of one of the man arresting Jesus. While Trump got his right ear shot.
Not exactly parallel narratives, but in the same county, maybe.
The question isn't "Is the Pope OK with Iran having Nukes". The question is "Is an unprovoked sneak attack on a peaceful nation leading to the deaths of 2000 people, acceptable under Catholic Doctrine."
And the answer is no. Bill O'Baxter may be OK with killing school girls and supporting Genocide in gaza or bombing Beirut, but the Pope isn't.
Doctor Trump. and he deleted it. (Off with his head!)
I do wish Trump would stop with some of the nonsense that only feeds the hate-fires.

The POPE is NOT concerned about cruelty, murder by totalitarian Iranian regime, and the subjugation of women and children by Islamic males in power in Iran and elsewhere.
Why did Obama's henchman go and talk to the Pope?
It's all about swaying the Catholic vote back to the corruptocratics.

"Napoleon being the antichrist strikes us as humorous today. But Napoleon really was...."
Well, there are quite a few more sentences in "War and Peace."
Has pope leo spoken about the murders in his home town
When this story first took hold, I assumed that the original image was some well-known painting depicting Jesus to which Trump had inserted his face. I have since learned that it is an AI-created image depicting a "Jesus-like" figure that had been "circulating" - i.e., not actually created by Trump, and not something prior that was known to be Jesus. So not as clear-cut as the furor would have you believe.
My wife maintains that Obama is the Anti-Christ, and I'm not inclined to argue.

Just asking questions!
Back in the heyday of European Protestantism, plenty of Popes were called the 'Antichrist.' This is because real Popes were routinely corrupt Italians who engaged in sex scandals and business scandals and more -- and then claimed to be the authoritative voice of God on Earth. If you were in Germany, France, or England, why accept the words of an Italian for anything? JFK was thereby suspect for having dual loyalties to Uncle Sam and Uncle Pope.
Numerologists, astrologers, zealots and the like always seek mystical connections and secret, special knowledge. They are supernatural freelancers who don't comply with state religions, and can either call others or be called 'Antichirst.' As such, I'd bet every President has been described this way.
Well the borgia popes qualified
Fact Check: “Donald Trump was portraying himself as Jesus in a white robe and red sash.”
Two Pinocchios: Donald Trump was actually portraying himself as a doctor in a white robe and red sash.
Do Trump's stigmata clear the path for canonization?
I dont remember Tolstoy in War and Peace as being particularly hateful toward Napoleon. However, he certainly took the Russian side.
There was an especially crude cartoon of Abraham Lincoln taking off his mask to reveal the face of the devil. Also a cartoon of Thomas Jefferson and the devil trying to pull down a column representing the American Republic. Jefferson was also trying to throw the Consitution on a pyre consecrated, not to the devil this time, but to 'Gallic Despotism,' when a screeching eagle stopped him.
Foiled assassins believed Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama was the antichrist. There was even speculation that George HW Bush's 'New World Order' was evil in Biblical terms (something similar was thought of Henry Kissinger). AI tells me that there were people who thought every modern president was the antichrist -- with the exception of Gerald Ford. Pressed with another prompt, it says that Jimmy Carter wasn't 'widely considered' to be the antichrist. There was chatter during his term about the Trilateral Commission being a factor in the apocalypse though.
Why was Obama's Chief Strategist David Axelrod meeting with the Chicago leftist Pope days before Leo launched his attack on Trump? Why is this Pope from Chicago an instrument of the far-left Chicago Democrat machine? Maybe Obama is the anti-Christ and the Pope is the anti-Pope.

Zionists, and that includes people like Erick Erikson or Mark levin, always pull the same rhetorical trick. They never defend Irsael's immoral actions, but always counter-attack. Its always name calling, or "What about the Iranian mullahs, huh? Huh?" "What about Hamas huh huh?".
Is anyone so dumb as to forget "Two wrongs dont make a right"? Or that just because Iran's Government isn't full of rainbows and sunshine that doesn't justify our attacking them?
The whole rhetorical trick is as dishonest as it is stupid.
Bill O'Reilly gets it:

Just another article positing that Trump has lost his loyal supporters. These articles are everywhere and just with different spins. The actual number of people or Christians out there trying to identify the Antichrist is very small.

It’s interesting how the Jesus portrayal suddenly concluded “Antichrist” when all those features have been there all along.
That ain’t it. Trump’s in free fall. He’s losing worldwide pretended respect, made a mess out of Iran, scales are falling from his cultists eyes, prices are soaring, and like everything he’s ever touched, is turning to shit.
As a one time avid poker player, I’ve seen how this “playing on tilt” unfolds. It’s a real phenomenon of how true losers can be easily played, not even realizing they were hanging themselves with their own rope.
There are a lot of people who are opposed to Christ. Not just one. It's a good way to judge somebody's spiritual health. "Are you anti-Christ, or opposed to Christ? What do you think of Jesus?"
RJW - You can find a stamped copy of that on MSNBC.
There was a mini-series, The Bible, where they cast a guy who looked just like Obama to play Satan.
That was rather unfortunate, artistically speaking. Many years later, they had to cut Satan out of the movie. "The devil is on the cutting-room floor," said the producer. No word on whether he met with David Axelrod before the decision was made.
All of them I would guess only excepting George Washington and probably him also.
RJW: “… Trump’s in free fall. ….” Another delusional troll. E.g., “Prices are soaring.” Really? Brent crude is $95.50 per bbl today. During Biden it was as high as $139. And prices rose 21.5% overall during Biden’s term from January 2021 to January 2025 (Cumulative CPI increase). Prices have risen about 4 percent since Trump took office in January 2025. That’s also the cumulative CPI increase.
Not that Trump haters care about reality, but mostly they are too stupid to follow the play.

Hey while you’re there honoring the people who violently drove Catholics from the country, if you find the time in between that and condemning us for killing genocidal Islamist leaders, could you swing by and lecture the people currently massacring Christians in Africa?
Antichrist? Just more bullshit. The lefties project their chimera onto Trump supporters. They have no idea what we think. They have no interest in finding out because it doesn’t further the Gramscian destabilization of the Republic.
This coordinated demonize Trump effort looks as coordinated as COVID and BLM. Even the Catholic Church was in on COVID capitulating and sacrificing sacrament distribution to the state. Now the liberal church leadership is helping massage this stupid Anti-Christ label (although they will deny it). The height of hypocrisy yesterday seeing atheists and lefties calling out "blasphemy."

The United States is selling oil to China now.
China has been locked in the basement and is forced to bend the knee. Enemies of the US are all happy that China is running a single tanker through out of Iran. But dozens are going to the gulf of America right now to keep China running.
And China is pouring dollars into the US economy to buy this oil.
Do you really know what you are talking about or are you upset than Israel still exists and is helping us out?
Trump claims to be the living Messiah. Some liberal Christians are not so sure.

Iran war could slow global growth to weakest since pandemic, IMF warns ~ WSJ
‘Expansion of global economy would fall to 2.5% in an ‘adverse scenario’ of persistent $100-per-barrel oil’
In my opinion markets are very complacent about the risks here. Back oil contracts are at about $80, equity markets are flat or up since the US & Israel launched an unwinnable war. We all apply motivated thinking, hoping that somehow this is going to blow over in time for our summer holidays, but there are many reasons to be doubtful.
1. Iran controls the Straits, and any US blockade will reduce the supply of oil
2. Fertilizer is in short supply just when it's needed in the Northern hemisphere planting season
3. As noted above—Trump is in dire trouble just when the mid-terms are on the horizon -- at which point his Presidency will likely be blocked at every side (which might be a good thing).
4. All 13 US bases in the Gulf are unusable
5. Israel, who started this war, has every incentive to continue.
6. Gulf states might well decide to throw their lot in with Iran, rather than the US. Who haven't exactly helped their economies recently.Even if the war ends tonite the chance of a worldwide recession is high. If the war goes on for another year we'll be in 1929 territory. Of course no-one is planning for this eventuality -- we all assume tomorrow will be the same as today. That's human nature — react, don't plan.
There's always one in the conservative crowd.
Lots more crazies among liberals, but they approve of them.

Wired = politics for dummies (Liberal/left version).
When that magazine was printed on paper some 30 years ago, and 100 pages thick or more, and filled with interesting articles on technology, it was well worth the subscription price and became mandatory cover-to-cover reading for me every month. Even the advertising, and there was plenty, was in line with my interests.
One particularly memorable article was by the great Neal Stephenson in the mid-1990's, and ran to something like 20 lavishly illustrated pages about the longest undersea cable that had ever been laid, some 17,000 miles long. A true classic. The first time I ever heard of the Burning Man festival was in their pages around the same time, when a couple of thousand people gathered in the Nevada desert, some of them flying private airplanes onto the playa and shooting off machine guns and grenade launchers.
Reading the big-government bootlickers of Wired these days, and contrasting my disdain and outright hatred for everything in it with the excitement I felt when reading it 30 years ago, makes me mourn a world that now seems as lost as Ancient Rome.

Nobody here is confused. There is no reason to think Trump is in “panic mode on multiple fronts.” As I pointed out at 11:28 you trolls have to fabricate data to make your points.
Yo Pope - Do you have any comments here?

Fabricating data is the corrupt left's backbone.
Trump should just start dressing in a white robe with a red long vest over it and see what happens.

It is apparently now necessary for them to project their wishful thinking into the threads.

I think the October 7th attack on Israel lead to the deaths of about 1500 people, not 2000. But it is encouraging that you finally noticed.

It's fascinating to see what social media reveals about a person before they become the Pope.
Before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Prevost was on Twitter trashing Trump, criticizing Vance, calling for open borders, promoting COVID vaccines, endorsing stricter gun control, and tweeting after George Floyd:
"We need to hear more from leaders in the Church, to reject racism and seek justice."
The account was deleted the day he was elected.
https://x.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/2044123715865325932?s=20
Just another leftwing hump…
SAD.
endorsing stricter gun control
The Swiss Guards have a very nicely equipped armory in the Vatican, with everything from 400-year-old halberds, swords, and blunderbusses to SIG 550 & 552 assault rifles, B&T APC9 and APC556 PDWs, and Glock 19 and 26 pistols with red dot optics and suppressors.
I have no respect at all for politicians who think their bodyguards should be allowed weapons that are forbidden to the rest of us. I don't buy the argument that they need it because they are at higher risk of attack, or that they deserve it for their public service.
Is a senator or big-city mayor swanning around town in a chauffeured limousine with a couple of burly policemen really at greater risk of being attacked than a night-shift nurse going to her car in a poorly lit garage at 3 am in the same city? Is the politician doing a greater public service than she is, between working constantly to steal our money and strip us of our rights ands get his mitts into the public purse? To ask the question is to answer it.
I'd support a Constitutional amendment forcing politicians and other government scum at every level to have to follow the exact same gun laws they impose on everyone else.
I was in Chapel Hill this morning and overheard an elderly woman say to her husband about a mass killing in Africa, "They must have been influenced by Trump."
