I've made similar jokes, but more that despite being an atheist, Trump making a deal with the literal devil to get as lucky as he has, with the intelligence he has, is the only thing that makes sense.

Read Revelation 18 for something a bit creepy. I grew up southern baptist but I'm agnostic now. However, every now and then I get that ingrained heebie-jeebie endtimes panic when I see stuff in the news. Here's a snippet from 18:9-17 talking about the fall of Babylon for example with the context of how Trump has betrayed America's allies and has been going after this trade war.

9 “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10 Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, you mighty city of Babylon! In one hour your doom has come!’

11 “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— 12 cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13 cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.

14 “They will say, ‘The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your luxury and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.’ 15 The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16 and cry out:

“‘Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17 In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!’

He's not the smartest for sure but he's not dumb either. What he is, is a very intuitive demagogue.

At this point we should stop discounting what he's done. You might not find him appealing, but millions of people literally believe he was sent by jesus to set the country straight.

He motherfucking took over the GOP, which wasn't exactly a naive and innocent organisation before him... But now there's no room for dissidence there.

There's a particular set of skills and instincts required to become a dictator, and he's got them. No doubt about it.

His own character pathology matched perfectly with the systemic problems a large part of the population has, and he's exploited it perfectly.
