It has been hard enough for me, as a Reagan scholar, to forebear claims by Trump supporters of alleged commonalities between Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Some lost soul, in a fit of madness, composed a list of 15 uncanny similarities between the two. The list has gone viral and has been sent to me too many times. Ive resisted responding to it, and -- pray God -- I will not need to.
But speaking of God, other analogies are being made by Trump supporters that wrench my stomach so hard that I need to vent as a form of therapy.
It started about six weeks ago when a family friend posted something on Facebook. It was an Old Testament verse, a prophetic one, invoked in the name of and alongside a photo of Donald Trump. I initially thought it was a joke. I will not repeat it here. Its plainly blasphemous.
Then, three weeks ago, another incident during one of my regular appearances on a syndicated Christian talk-show that I do frequently, a wonderful show run by a terrific group of people. I will leave it nameless to spare embarrassment, especially given that they were surely as stupefied as I was. A woman called in with a list of seven parallels I have discovered in the lives of Jesus and Donald Trump. She informed the stunned host that these were based on her own research. Here are some of her comparisons:

What will he be doing tomorrow , tossing pizza dough ?
Projecting much ?
LOL, OK, you win
That’s good advice
So a looney caller calls in and it’s worthy of an article? There are plenty of idiots on all sides. This is not even worthy of being a story.
Yep, and when you point it out specifically no one can understand what you’re talking about and... because Trump.
It is disturbing and compares to the lunatics on the left who thought/think The Won is The One.
It’s not related to Trump so much as it is to the more fanatic trump supporters.
They are interesting specimens, in a sick way.
They seem to have invested their entire beings, heart and soul, into an odd rich dude.
The symptoms are scary. Any hint of criticism against their idol results in frenzies of posts ... total frenzies.
If one is caught in the crossfire, it can hurt, because they will stop at nothing to abuse anyone who dares to insult the Chosen One.
We’ve never had anything like this on our side of the aisle.
Even the love of Obama didn’t seem to run this deep or this delusional.
“So a looney caller calls in and its worthy of an article? There are plenty of idiots on all sides. This is not even worthy of being a story.”
Yeah, it only took two dozen posts for someone (that would be you) to finally put a lid on this crap. Thank You for your service!
You’re welcome. Unlike some in here you get it.
According to Wikipedia, Trump’s father’s middle name was Christ!
Someone, maybe Kaslin, posted an article by a Catholic priest suggesting that Trump should get a mental/psychological exam to make sure he was rational enough to be president.
A typical frenzy followed. Just a collection of the posts with attribution.
BLAH BLAH BLAH Cruz is a Globalist tool.
FU TOWN HELL
another GOPe paid for advertisement
What a load of crap ...
This campaign against Trump by the establishment and its media has become the biggest, most highly funded example of the politics of personal destruction in all of history.
Any of you who were offended by the campaign against Clarence Thomas or Robert Bork should be astounded and appalled by the perfidy and depravity of the Republican Party, its establishment, and their greedy, hypocritical, ambition-crazed marionette, Ted Cruz. They should all rot in Hell.
And one more Cruz Superpac check clears the bank.
No Father, he is signaling to you what havoc you will cause if you keep up this unscrupulous attack on American Sovereignty. If you are not aware of what you are doing, you are an ignorant tool of the Evil Globalist Cabal intent on enslaving humanity.
Townhall sucks...David limbaugh and company can rot in hell along with their paid contrived propaganda....this is another redstate IE: erick erickson ...Fr.marcel guizmo...hack shill ..I along with Millions of Americans am..tired/pissed/angry....the propoganda is so obvious but the people who pay to support the programs do not have the time(or desire) to sift through all the limited information because of the time constraints they have....where as writers that I have mentioned are funded to write such drivel and non-truths all the while laughing at the ones who actually allow them to be the turncoats that they are.
Marcel can bite my gluteal muscles
Was that neener, neener, neener or pshaw, pshaw, pshaw?
BUT! Many that read this garbage think this clown Friar/father has merit...PROPAGANDA...works when the media is saturated with it...tell a lie long enough it becomes truth
What is going on? Has the conservative community gone insane? Do they have the same Stockholm syndrome that afflicts Republican politicians?
For the love of God, people, when someone finally comes along saying that he will do what you've wanted all along and has the credentials to back up his claim, don't take the side of the MSM against him!
LMAO!! Jesus Trump...
Ah trumpettes.. Bless your hearts... you’re a special breed indeed.
Which item do you disagree with?
Odd.
That is exactly how I see Cruz supporters.
It is like a cult. Very strange. And it is the cult which is winning in very underhanded ways, in “polls” which are actually just a bunch of partisan weenies, who get together in some place to announce their own selection.
Never mind what people think. It is just about what party leaders want.
Trump is winning big, in actual polls. Big.
Your guy is just manufacturing wins in party events. He is good at it, no question. But it is just the party.
Cruz is becoming a complete sell-out.
And the people promoting him on this site, are now opposing the winning candidate, and all of the millions more Trump supporters than their own guy.
It is becoming ridiculous. Cruz is selling out to everyone, just to fight Trump.
Yet people, very strongly want Trump. The party is the problem.
The party. Which incidentally, now is 100% lined up with Cruz.
Not a good sign, at all.
Don’t bother Donna. The Cruz-sheep are blind when it comes to their messiah. Trump bad, Cruz good, facts be damned.
This is so creepy.
Can’t you just like your candidate? Does he have to be the Messiah?
I am asking seriously, can you show me an article where Cruz supporters think he is the Messiah. Not an article where people accuse his supporters of that, but one where his supporters compare him to God.
Yep.
