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. I’ve 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. It’s 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:

Before Utah, Glenn Beck was going on and on about how Cruz was the fulfillment of some Mormon prophesy about how he’ll save the Constitution.
Cruz’s own father calls him an anointed king.
Going by the Biblical definition of Messiah, ie: ‘anointed one,’ usually in the context of an anointed king then yes, Cruz’s supporters are calling him as Messiah.
And he seems perfectly fine with that.
That’s the kind of sin that got Herod eaten by worms.
Just sayin’.
Unlike Reagan, Trump is a conman (Trump University)
Ulike Reagan, Trump is a snake oil salesman (Trump Taj Mahal Casino;Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle)
Unlike Reagan; Trump has a 70% unfavorable rating in the general electorate
Ulike Reagan, Trump has a 73% negative rating with women who now make up 3% of the general electorate.
Unlike Reagan, Trump is vulgarian.
I think Trump has potential to be better than Reagan
Trumpkins live in an echo-chamber. Anything that rustles their comfort zone, they cannot handle except with typical Trumpisms.
Times are certainly more desperate than they were under Reagan.
So you say CONSTANTLY.
Get a job (somewhere else).
Women make up 3% of the general electorate? Curious statement all by itself. It’s like suffrage did almost nothing?
Eaten by worms huh.
Would that presage a Bernie victory after a Cruz nomination?
Error: 53% of the electorate.
Apologies.
You may wish to sound proof the Trumpian echo-chamber that has shown cracks after Wisconsin.
Yes, I know.
You can’t STAND the fact that Trump and his supporters even exist.
You don’t have to keep repeating that fact over and over again.
Wow. An oldie but goodie.
Bring back the Twister board scorecard, too!
another trashy post with no meaning
stop it
Great orators of American history:
” Government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.” -— Ronald Reagan
“You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” -— Donald Trump
>> Trump supporters that wrench my stomach
Here’s another GOP-e minion to add to the long list of petulant clowns that despise us.
They’re unhinged and incapable of concealing their contempt for the large percentage of Republicans supporting Trump.
Then may you have liberty in the company of a young and beautiful piece of ass — presuming she’s not a slave.
Get a life Kengor. First, grow up, then start acting responsible, then get a life.
You see WHAT?
Let’s have some specifics!
Excellent!
Lord, the pages of this website are brimming with examples. OPEN YOUR EYES!!
