Orange Jesus

OK. This is getting silly, and serious at the same time. Liz Cheney quoted a Republican congressman in her book “Oath and Honor”:

“Among them was Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee,” Cheney writes. “As he moved down the line, signing his name to the pieces of paper, Green said sheepishly to no one in particular, ‘The things we do for the Orange Jesus.’”

Suddenly, the term Antichrist comes back to my mind. Trump claims to his supporters that the Biden government is coming after him, and that he’s taking the legal challenges in their stead. If it weren’t so ridiculous, it would be alarming. Remember, this is the same soul that, as Emperor Nero, persecuted the followers of Jesus Christ. Could it be any more stark?

I’m mindful that his power (and position) changed after the Star of Bethlehem returned in 2020. Now I’m hopeful that this fictitious ‘saviour’ of America will suffer a legal crucifixion and then just fade away. (But these things have a way of playing out in an endless repeat cycle and therefore will never end.)
