The Big Picture – 
By Glynn Wilson – 

When French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician René Descartes first posited his theory, Cogito, ergo sum, “I think, therefore I am,” he could not have foreseen a Wizard of Id like Donald Trump taking over America and saying just because he thinks documents are declassified, therefore they are declassified.

“You’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified, even by thinking about it,” Trump said to Sean Hannity on Fox faux news, to scowls of laughter all over social media.

The FBI recently found troves of classified documents stored all over Mar-a-Lago, within easy access of Russian spies, yet this former so-called president remains free as a freebird.

Someone should track down Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden to get their reaction.

This “I think, therefore they are declassified” argument is not one that will hold up in any court, not even one overseen by Trump’s most ardent toady judge, Aileen M. Cannon.

But like Trump said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”

And apparently he was right, since no prosecutor has yet to show the hutzpah to have him arrested, booked, indicted, and tried for ANY of his obvious crimes, too numerous to even try to document here. Everybody knows what they are. He did it all in plane sight. He didn’t even try to hide his crimes. He just thumbed his nose at any cop or lawyer who would dare to try to hold him accountable.

It’s like his fake-tan orange skin is coated with Teflon, designed on another planet to repel criminal charges like a Star Trek force field.

Perhaps it’s time to get NASA to investigate whether Trump is even human. Maybe he is an alien from another exoplanet, like Germany.

If it’s not clear that some people believe Trump is some kind of a Messiah, this nut job author Helgard Müller is getting rich on the scam that he is the so-called “son of man.”

“During the presidency of President Donald Trump, it became evident to me that the prophecies about the Son of Man, as predicted by Jesus in the Bible were, to a significant extent, fulfilled at the hands of Mr Trump,” Müller writes in the intro for his book on Amazon.

He says this apparently with a straight face, as if he expected people to actually believe him. It’s not even satire fit for The Onion.

“The Bible speaks about two different Christs-or Messiahs. Jesus, the Son of God is the one Christ, whereas the Son of Man is the other,” he says, pretending to be a Biblical scholar. “Jesus always referred to the Son of Man in the third person. The greatest distinction or significance between the Son of Man and the Son of God (the Lamb) is their respective positions at the throne of God.

“There are numerous differences between the Son of God and the Son of Man, but overall, people read these scriptures and they do not realize that the Son of God (the Lamb) stands in front of the throne of God, whereas the Son of Man, is positioned on the right hand of God.

“Jesus spoke about two different killings in the four gospels of the New Testament. People read these scriptures and are unaware that Jesus (the Son of God) predicted his own killing in the first person, as opposed to the several prophecies that He made in respects to the Son of Man who will be crucified. The New Testament speaks about ‘two Kings;’ Jesus, the Son of God, is the ‘King of the Jews,’ whereas the Son of Man is the ‘King of Kings’ who will be a world-ruler, and He will rule all the nations (the tribes) of the earth with a rod of iron.

“This book will explain in depth how ‘Donald John Trump’s’ full name literally means: ‘The Ruler of the World, graced by Yahweh (the LORD) and a descendant of a Drummer.'”

The surname Trump comes from a Bavarian word for “drum.” The name Donald is of Scottish origin and means “proud chief.”

So what? Remember what Butch (Bruce Willis) said to cab driver Esmerelda (Angela Jones) about American names in “Pulp Fiction?”

“I’m American, honey, our names don’t mean shit.”

This guy is totally full of shit.

Others are posting a Bible verse on Facebook from the New Testament about this.

Mathew 25

31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne.

32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,

36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,

43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Even if there was any truth to this 2,000 year old fantasy written by some nameless Catholic scribe — and believe me there is not — this could not be about Trump anyway. He is the most selfish, narcissistic public figure to emerge on the world stage next to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and he has never fed or clothed anyone or cared for anyone who was sick.

The only Biblical figure to resemble Trump at all is the prophesied “anti-Christ.”

In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist or anti-Christ refers to people prophesied by the Bible to oppose Jesus Christ and substitute themselves in Christ’s place before the Second Coming.

The term Antichrist (including one plural form) is found five times in the New Testament, solely in the First and Second Epistle of John. The Antichrist is announced as the one “who denies the Father and the Son.”

That’s Trump all right.

The similar term pseudokhristos or “false Christ” is also found in the Gospels. In Matthew (chapter 24) and Mark (chapter 13), Jesus alerts his disciples not to be deceived by the false prophets, who will claim themselves as being Christ, performing “great signs and wonders”.

Three other images often associated with the singular Antichrist are the “little horn” in Daniel’s final vision, the “man of sin” in Paul the Apostle’s Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, and the Beast of the Sea in the Book of Revelation.

Trump may not be THE Antichrist, but he is certainly AN anti-christ figure.

Woe unto ye, I say unto you, believers beware of the Antichrist. For those who have an eye to see, and an ear to hear…

In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:15–20), Jesus warns his followers of false prophets.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will know them by their fruits.”

Donald Trump’s entire life is full of nothing but rotten fruit. How could anyone believe this guy has an ounce of good in him? It’s all a ruse. Don’t be fooled again.

By the way, Mar-a-Lago means “sea-to-lake” in Italian and Spanish, referring to the fact that the resort extends the entire width of Palm Beach, from the Atlantic Ocean to what is now the Intracoastal Waterway–formerly Lake Worth.

There is nothing Biblical about this. It’s a spoof, not a hoax.
