In a previous blog, I explained why I believe Donald J. Trump fits the biblical description of the Antichrist. If you haven’t already and are interested, you can read a detailed perspective about this in this blog: https://www.tcpaconsultancy.com/the-state-of-our-planet-samuel-paty-capitalistic-peace-treaties-made-imo-in-conjunction-with-the-modern-antichrist-donald-j-trump
FYI: I don’t know if the embodiment of the antichrist is something also described in the Quran, but knowing that Mohammed took inspiration from the old testament and talked about what he knew about Jesus and where he differs from opinion with Jesus, while trying to follow and teach the way he interpreted our Father’s wishes and advices on how to live a life honoring Him*, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Quran also describes a figure embodying traits that align with Donald J. Trump: arrogance, greed, deception, and a penchant for destruction. If we allow Trump to win again and escape accountability for the injustices he committed, we will face dire consequences.
During his first term, Trump knew of Putin’s ambitions to invade Ukraine but chose not to act, failing to warn allies or take preventive measures. He even obstructed Ukraine’s ability to defend itself, this despite Ukraine sending 5,000 soldiers to assist the U.S. in Iraq after 9/11. Trump’s inaction emboldened Putin, contributing to the current war in Ukraine.
We need to be grateful that the American people at least succeeded in holding Trump from power for 4 years, because if true that as Trump said Putin wouldn’t have attacked Ukraine with him as president [because again, this is something Trump himself admitted Putin told him], it would’ve meant that Trump succeeded too in making Ukraine weaker and given Putin more time to make his military stronger for the attack he was planning to do as president of the modern Russian empire.
We also need to be thankful that we had Joe Biden as experienced president of the U.S., having previously already been VP, when Russia invaded Ukraine because thanks to among other him Ukraine did get enough supplies in time to defend themselves from being entirely invaded and conquered by Putin with his modern Russian empire.
Recently I posted something about Ukraine and what is now to be expected on BlueSky. Below you can find the screenshot of the post, and in this blog I only want to make clear that even though we do need to brace ourselves for social hardship coming years, financial hardship will surely be masked with plundering and squandering of public funds to cronies. The latter is, besides using bots to shower misogynistic, racist and xenophobic posts on social media, among other what was used to manipulate public opinion towards a second term. Would not surprise me at all if the people behind among other Cambridge Analytics was behind this tech cronyism-capitalistic success again.
Regarding my belief in that Donald J. Trump is the modern antichrist. I believe in God and I take His* being seriously and understand that all His anecdotes and stories are life lessons on how not to repeat His tragic [imagined] history with humanity [that He does not want us to go down that path of destruction], so we can truly live a happy and thriving life for all His creatures on this planet. I am also grateful for His sacrifice to give power away in giving us consciousness and freewill in His domain.
So I do not say this lightly or hyperbolically, I wholeheartedly believe Donald J. Trump is the modern antichrist, the biblical humanely manifestation of greed and (social) destruction that one day comes to power with the help of voters in the most powerful country in the world, and now if we do not watch out and do not work to prevent or repair what he inevitably will (try to) destroy, humanity is fucked.
Remember, the Antichrist is the King of Lies, Manipulations, Self-Obsessness and Greed. Others in our collective human history that came before Donald J. Trump who took that Crown too destroyed their societies, however, they also weren’t able to destroy our planet like Donald can.
During next four years we may experience a calmness before a mega storm, however, one thing everyone can be sure is that if Trump lets Putin win and keep any sovereign Ukrainian land, including Crimea, that would mean that Putin will also get years to go lick his military wounds and become stronger to be able to acquire more lands, with the possibility of initiating WW3. While Trump might not initiate WW3 directly, his actions could provide the fuel for it.
Greed and Financial Policies:
The biggest challenge humanity will face after Donald’s 2nd term, is if the Americans will be able to overcome their own sense of greed when they financially profit from the policies Donald will sign into law. Like for example, if he really signs into law that the U.S. will own (at least) 1 million bitcoin as a sovereign fund, not only this bull run will last longer but the bottom in the bear market probably will be statistically higher than other cycles, and the price prediction Michael Saylor has given for 2040 might even be low balling the potential price per bitcoin by then, and of course many people holding crypto will massively profit from these price increases.
Is that worth WW3? A plurality of people in the US this year said that yes, that is worth the risk.
Also, just wait and see how many more trillions the US will go borrow and spend next 4 years. It will probably break records, again. Cronies, friends and family will massively profit and gain net worth, while the vast majority of the people will get crumbles (like the corona-checks that first got delayed because he had to sign them and the checks had to have his signature clearly visible), while they will be the ones having to cover most of the debt with needing to pay higher taxes directly, after his term, like he previously already did with the help of the GOP, and indirectly during his term through for example;
- Tariffs on imports
- Cuts to Federal Programs like Medicaid or SNAP
- The National Debt and inflation
- Cuts to subsidies or tax credits
- Environmental Deregulation, something his cronies like Elon Musk will go after and will also seriously negatively affect efforts to combat climate change
- Increased User Fees for federal services, like parks or immigration applications
- Shifting burdens to States and Local Governments, which in turn forces states and local governments to raise taxes or fees to compensate to sustain service levels to its citizens, and
- Regressive Policy Changes, which will be the policies that will disproportionately affect lower- and middle-income households, as example: Trump’s previous cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions in the 2017 tax reform increased the tax burden on residents of high-tax states, despite overall tax cuts [are all examples given by ChatGPT].
With the white/sane-washing the mass (social) media channels are doing for him and the rampant misinformation and algorithmic manipulation happening for his benefit on social media, from TikTok to Twitter, it is to be seen if the American people will be able to show remorse and in great numbers vote for someone in 2028 who has integrity, who will work to repair all that will be damaged and destroyed within the government system, and who will take the country in the direction where the strongest people help the weakest people instead of the strongest now exploiting the weakest people.
One can only hope that 2026 will be a year where the world gets to see the American people break voting records, again, which will then for sure bring accountability back in Congress, with better check-and-balances between the legislature, executive and judiciary.
A Glimmer of Hope:
Despite Trump’s potential for destruction, there are opportunities for resilience. Leaders like Mexico’s president Claudia Sheinbaum have already demonstrated a commitment to democratic principles by refusing to cater to Trump’s ego. If other nations strengthen alliances and invest in sustainable, self-reliant economies, they can counteract the harm caused by Trump’s policies.
A global circular economy, where nations focus on localized production and fair trade, could emerge as a positive byproduct of Trump’s isolationist tendencies. For example, countries might reduce their dependence on the U.S., Russia, and China, leading to a more balanced global system. Again, one can now only hope for this and I unapologetically am one to do so too.
We must encourage, elect and support leaders around the world to take this opportunity to strengthen their other partnerships and make their economies sustainable and not dependent on any one specific/major partner to thrive, while partnering with countries only for as long as they too respect the sanctity of human life and human rights.
A global circular economy starts with national circular economies that connects with each other. Exporting goods manufactured with everything produced and sourced, at least for as much as possible, within the same country is both economically and ecologically more sustainable.
Going with the scenario that Europe realizes in time that in a WW3 scenario happening because of direct actions taken by Trump that will materialize after his term, and especially with another Republican/MAGA president after him, we will have a Europe that starts functioning based on the fact that it cannot rely on the US to defend its lands and people any longer.
Europe’s Role:
If Europe realizes this and succeeds in becoming self-reliant to be able to defend itself from any other country in the world, that is an unintended win I take everyday because it would mean that our planet has the chance to heal itself on the long term, and our collective will secure its future thriving on this planet until our sun explodes and distant generations have settled on other planets in our universe.
I believe this because most of Europe, EU and many other countries around our world are already running themselves on democratic principles and institutions that abide to the rule of law and does not tolerate suffering of its citizens or any other people in any other country. It is for example a given that the EU will shelter citizens from other countries who fear for their lives or livelihoods for themselves and their family.
Does it mean that this system is not being abused by some individuals who come to seek economic prosperity and with some even succumbing to criminality? Of course, it is not going to be perfect and politicians and public servants need to do their best to adjust the system to prevent abuse, but the principle is there and it can be said that in general there is integrity in the sharing of power and individuals holding (voting) power in the EU/European institutions. An EU/Europe that can defend itself is one which can also help others in a better way.
The EU already operates on principles that prioritize human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. While not perfect, these systems provide a foundation for a brighter future. An empowered Europe could better assist other nations while ensuring its own security.
The EU has the chance to create a democratic inter-country/state governmental organization more resilient than the U.S. For example whereas the US has concentrated the power of the Commander-in-Chief in the hands of one person, the EU can delegate the powers of the Commander-in-Chief of the EU Military to an EU Defense Council, consisting of the defense representatives of each EU member-state and some EU commissioners chosen by the President of the EU Commission, while the Defense Council can be co-chaired by the President of the EU Commission and the President of the EU Council.
This EU Defense Council can get its budget from the EU Commission, EU Council and EU Parliament and have the general mandate to manage the collective EU defense of our people, land, waters, airspace’s and tech infrastructure. The EU Defense Council should not have the authority to commence offensive or preventive military actions and every decision regarding the use of EU defense materials to help non-EU and non-NATO countries needs to be taken with 2/3rd majority of the council members and any other decisions regarding EU Defense is taken with a simple majority.
With this budget the EU Defense Council can create EU military forces stationed in member-states, while having their own vehicles and equipments. This way the EU Defense Council can for example invest in the design & production of EU nuclear aircraft carriers, having both its own EU military crew & fleets, and rotating crew & fleets from member states. The EU Defense Council budget could also be used to for example invest in the R&D of military equipments and it needs to cover at the minimum the salary, education, training, rehabilitation, healthcare and pension of veterans and other service personnel.
Lessons from Lies:
Samuel Paty died because someone lied and other people took those lies and decided to manipulate others using social media and take their own sense of justice in their own hands. Donald won again, this time openly and publicly helped through lies and manipulation with the help of billionaires and mass (social & news) media companies.
This gives the impression that lies may help you sometimes to get what you want. But one thing that cannot be taken for granted is that every time achievements based on lies are never enjoyed indefinitely nor ever at maximum of what it could have been without the cheating. Winning through cheating always has an expiry date for the experienced joy, and is never enjoyed as intensively as when achieved with integrity, as you will always be having in the back of your head the thoughts of the chances of experiencing fall-outs or severe consequences when the lies are exposed.
The tragic story of Samuel Paty serves as a reminder of the destructive power of lies. Trump’s ascent, fueled by deception and manipulation, underscores this danger on a larger scale. Achievements built on lies are always fragile, with consequences that eventually surface.
Yet, I remain hopeful. Humanity’s resilience and collective desire to thrive will outlast Trump’s influence. Together, we can work toward a better world for future generations. I truly believe in a better world, that will materialize for the benefit of all current and future generations, this despite Trump, and all thanks to the resiliency of the collective in its need to thrive, too.
Do you believe that living in a better world is possible too?

*For all feminists; seeing God as masculine, psychologically speaking in regards to humanity, is not only the most sensible choice for reigning in ego’s, but it also tests who knows God best because as He is Everything he cannot be offended when you see Him as also She and/or They. So my reference to God as masculine is not meant to offend anyone nor support the patriarchy, but to engage using the traditional depictions. God, being infinite, encompasses all identities and perspectives.
