He really does check all the boxes.
Deception - committing direct electoral fraud, defamation, his nicknames, really everything he says is deceptive in some form to some degree
Promoting evil deeds - inciting violence, racism, normalizing rape
Idolatry - trump has christians idolizing him and praying to him directly
Persecution of believers - he's telling christians he's tricked into following him that real medicine is bad and taking medication that gives them heart attacks and injecting bleach will save them
I'm not Christian beeteedubs, just a fan of irony

Woohoo, nice! Good post
Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth... yep, every one.
Ticked every box of mine, tbh.
Pride - the Trump towers, how he talks about himself
Greed - he won't pay the contractors who did work for him just to save a couple dollars
Wrath - inciting violence, full page advertisements advocating the death penalty, says he loved to fight, any kind of fight, including physical.
Envy - obsessed with Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote , wants to be a dictator like the leaders of China and North Korea,
Lust - Trump is a rapist, and committed constant sexual harassment in the White House often.
Gluttony - obviously eats too much McDonald's and drinks too much soda, bottomless appetite
Sloth - avoided presidential duties to watch TV for hours, live tweets the TV he's watching for hours, is never prepared for meetings, delegates work and then takes credit for it.
Thanks for adding some detail to support my post. I thought about doing it but felt it might become overwhelming. Since you've done so already, I will add one more thing for Sloth. It's a weird one too. Trump believes that we are born with only so much energy and if you exercise you use it up and will die quicker.
Apparently still and alive and running for Congress in AZ: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2023/05/24/jack-odonnell-running-for-arizona-6th-congressional-district/70252344007/
Haha, that's a good one, thanks.
not prosecuting and jailing for rape is what normalizes rape.

What's the passage on that one? Could it mean trumpWorshippers persecuting people who actually believe in the kindness and support tenets of Christianity but who aren't [MAGAts || Christians]?

Posted in another comment, way more specific.
2 Timothy 3:12, taking about the end times, and it certainly could be interpreted that way:
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
