With his insults to Rob Reiner, Trump showed that he is literally the antichrist

Let the history of this country show that it was the murder of a Jewish couple on the first night of Hanukkah that showed just how strong non-Christian Donald J. Trump is forever.

The persecution rests, and it cannot be denied: We are a nation led by President Meathead.

Unlike the character of the same name famously played by Rob Reiner in “All In the Family,” our main Meathead has no sense of morality.

Hollywood legend Reiner and his wife, Michele, died tragically over the weekend. Their son, Nick Reiner, is currently in jail without bond and charged with murder. Ordinary people mourned the loss of a happy couple and improved the world through their creative and political work while trying to free Nick from the struggles of drug abuse and mental illness for most of his adult life.

Our president is, of course, unusual. He is a strange person who just seems to be evil. If there was a CruelHub, he’d be on it every day.

And the day after Romy Reiner found the bodies of her parents in their home in Brentwood, Trump wrote on social media that they did not die from stab wounds but “reportedly because of anger.” [Rob] caused others to suffer from his severe, chronic, and incurable mental illness known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

The president twice broke down in crocodile tears to reporters in the Oval Office the next day, saying that Reiner was “very bad for our country” without providing any evidence and describing the director of big-hearted films like “When Harry Met Sally …” and “The Princess Bride” as “confused.”

We’re in the midst of the holiday season, a time when people traditionally slow down their lives to take stock of their blessings during the coldest and darkest time of the year and try to spread cheer to friends and strangers alike.

But fairness is impossible for Trump. When the moment needs grace, it gives moral and ethical pollution. When tragedies inspire love in the hearts of good people, the president speaks for himself.

While Trump demanded that all Americans not speak ill of Charlie Kirk after his assassination, he invited everyone to make fun of Reiner, whose obvious sin was criticizing our most criticized president.

While everyone is focused on the vicious attack that Trump launched on Reiner and his wife, and speaking about the president’s soul was the address he gave at the White House banquet to mark Christmas and the beginning of Hanukkah hours before the news of Reiners’ murder.

Earlier that day, two gunmen killed 15 people celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach near Sydney, Australia, in what authorities described as an anti-Semitic attack. The night before, someone killed two people at Brown University in an unsolved case.

Trump gave lip service to those massacres before turning to the reason for the season:

Trump.

He lashed out at his predecessor, Joe Biden, and said his disastrous prices are paying off. He brought up Bryson DeChambeau for the US Open golf champion to praise the president as “a great golfer. [and] a better person.” The president linked his planned arch for the nation’s capital that he said would “blow up” the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. He bragged about winning over Latinos in the 2024 election — without saying he’s already lost them, fast — and blasted “fake news” for not bringing up First Lady Melania Trump’s Christmas decorations.

You’d think Trump was running for president again instead of marking two important religious holidays. But Trump was spiritual in a sense: he exercised his true, stinging faith.

The word and its conjunctions appear hundreds of times in the Old Testament, spoken by a “jealous” God who is admitted to instruct the Israelites in how to treat their enemies, or used as a threat to the Israelites if they deviate from his commands.

If Trump and his supporters and his women ever read the Bible, you can bet they only read the parts that involve assault.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth – one with a medieval cross chest tattoo – continues to play Solomon as he authorizes bombings off the coast of South America that he insists are carrying drugs when there is no good reason other than his will for them to happen. Immigration agents indiscriminately pick up citizens and non-citizens alike for immigration, the right-wing movement to make minority groups return to their ancestral lands on behalf of whites is doing well.

Twice, the Department of Homeland Security has used the Book of Isaiah in social media campaigns to explain its global approach to looting the country. Specifically, they have quoted the verse where the prophet tells God “Here I am, I have sent me” as Jehovah calls a messenger to warn the rebels of the evil he will rain on them unless they repent. The latest clip stars Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, who is spreading Trump’s fire-and-brimstone gospel of deportation.

Apart from being destroyed by the Trump Gospel they also play a major role in the Bible. But their final redemption for Christians is what we are preparing to celebrate next week: the birth of Christ, the Son of God who came to earth to preach that one should love your enemy, bless the humble, give up wealth and a lot of other things.

Trump may not be the real anti-Christ, but Trump sure is anti-Christian. He represents and shows all that Jesus condemns.

Many Christian thought leaders are beginning to understand this about Trump as he is very angry. After Trump’s selfish disparagement of Reiners, Christianity Today editor Russell Moore decried his “vile, disgusting, and depraved behavior” while ardent commentator and longtime Trump campaigner Rod Dreher wrote that “there is something terribly wrong with this man.”

That’s a start. But many evangelical Christians, 80% of whom voted for him in the 2024 election, need to finally turn from blindly supporting him. They, more than any other party, have condoned Trump’s sins.

They often compare him to the great people of the Bible and the Christian heroes of the past—King David, Cyrus the Great, Constantine—who were not perfect but did God’s will.

That is laughable. This man is not perfect. We all are.

No, Trump is more than imperfect. He’s a big crowd of violence, he appeared – referring to Reiner’s “This Is Spinal Tap” – at 11.
