He likes Trumps tough, militaristic talk about blowing up Iran, etc.

Most "Messiahs" are not lying, hateful, evil pieces of shit, however.

I am not sure if he meant Donald is messiah like or an actual messiah but it's irrelevant. Donald Trump supporters talk about Trump like some people talk about Jesus Christ. I wonder if the increasing idolization of Jesus from his initial followers eventually turned him into a deity. I doubt this will happen with Trump but this idolization of Trump is absurd. Even though he is in many ways less dangerous than Ted Cruz, he lacks less details in his plans than even Cruz. Just ask Donald Trump fans one question:

Why do you think Donald Trump will save America?

They will give you these vague answers that are filled with hyperbole.

The Christian Evangelicals and Fundamentalists think they will control President Donald J. Trump.

And the Orthodox Jewish Community think they will control President Donald J. Trump.
