TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): And it's him, Donald Trump, being, I don't know. How would you describe that? Caressed by, healed by, maybe endorsed by, Jesus. That's unmistakably Jesus, the Christian messiah, the man-god at the center of Christianity with his arm around Donald Trump, basically saying, you go Trump. I'm on your side. 

So all of that in a little over a week. What does it mean? Because it certainly means something. This isn't so much a couple of memes. These are these are icons. It's iconography. These are attempts to send a statement about faith. What statement is the president sending? Well, not a coherent one. Doesn't actually add up to a theology. It's mockery.

He's mocking Jesus. He's making fun of Christianity. The central figure of the religion is being held up for mockery. 

...

Here's a leader who's mocking the gods of his ancestors, mocking the God of gods, and exalting himself above them. Could this be the Antichrist? Well, who knows? At least that's my conclusion. Who knows?
