    And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

        It’s so on-the-nose that I don’t even Trump is the parody anymore, it’s evangelical Christianity that’s the real parody. A group of folks who make a story about a socialist day laborer from the Middle East and use it to justify white supremacy, unfettered capitalism, and wealth as a measure of God’s love falling in line behind a cartoonishly accurate representation the “bad guy” in their book…exactly like their book said they would.

      Out of context it sounds like something.

      But add the lines right before and it’s more clearly fever dream gibberish of a dying old man:

      And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And the dragon gave it his power and his throne and great authority.

      Did Trump come out of the sea? Does he look like a leopard with bear feet and a lion mouth?

      People have been misunderstanding and trying to extend parts of that text to contemporary events since it was written.

        Mar-a-lago Spanish - sea to lake

        There are 9 current trump towers. Moscow would make 10

        7 heads with blasphemous names - TRUMP on the top

        Feet of a bear -Russia is known as the bear in the west since early 20th century.

        Lion mouth - have you heard him speak? (Who hasn’t, he’s loud, boisterous, like a lion)
