Right-wing Christians have some insane theories about why the Trump presidency is imploding


1. Jim Bakker, televangelist

In an interview with Steve Strang of Charisma News on Thursday, Bakker warned of an assassination attempt against Trump, given that “the apocalypse has already begun.”

“There’s going to be an attempt on our president’s life very soon,” he stated. “The world is marching in the streets against our president, and it is a war.”

“This is the first horse of the apocalypse,” Bakker promised. “The apocalypse has already begun.”

According to Bakker, Trump’s opposition is “the spirit of the Antichrist,” fighting back against God’s miracle: the election of Trump. The strongest indicator of end times for Bakker was the cancellation of ABC’s “Last Man Standing” last week. The show starred Tim Allen, an anomalyous Trump supporter in Hollywood. Conservatives have blamed Allen’s political leanings for the show’s cancellation, despite offering no evidence to support their claims.

Although Bakker never watched the show, he insisted it was cancelled because of hatred for Trump.

“This is not a normal spirit. This is not a normal hate. This is that spirit of the first horse of the Apocalypse,” Bakker continued. “It’s the spirit of hatred that’s taking over America.”

Jim Baker should kill himself so he can get to the spirit world faster. I'm sure he can do more good there.

which is why they freak out over globalization and try to force the geopolitical boundaries to fit their interpretation of Revelations.

I was thinking this applies to this presidency. Jim Bakker is totally batshit.

is death. Maybe AFTER Trump had been assassinated it would make some sense to say this, but at this point, it sounds more like a threat than any sort of religious insight.

But he's batshit crazy, so what could we expect?
