A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer. From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

Trump, the man who literally embodies the 7 deadly sins, is the anointed of God - yea that totally checks out.

I'm starting to wonder if these Armageddon cultists see Trump as the Antichrist and see that as a good thing.

Anything to bring about the end.

It reads like those people are living in a parallel universe. Or are they just memeing?
