Priest behind viral anti-Trump blog warns president may be 'God's judgement on America'

Thomas McKenzie used to keep his political beliefs outside the doors of his church in Tennessee — until Donald Trump came along, and forced the evangelical Christian to make a difficult choice.

The Nashville priest felt compelled to speak out about the reality TV star and real estate mogul who, at the time, was expected to dominate the Republican primaries on Super Tuesday in 2016. Doing so would likely alienate a significant number of his parishioners in the solidly Republican state, but Mr McKenzie saw a threat in Mr Trump of biblical proportions.

He ultimately decided to publish a blog post on his church’s website, nearly a week before voters flocked to the polls on Super Tuesday, about the surging Republican candidate. The post was uncharacteristically titled: “This Isn’t Funny Anymore: Why I’m Voting Against Donald Trump.”

“I’m writing this before Super Tuesday, before anyone is the nominee of either party,” he wrote at the time. “There is an issue I have decided I need to say something about. And that issue is Donald Trump. I oppose his election as President, and believe that any other candidate now running, from either party, would make a better President. I believe his election would be dangerous to our country, and to the Church.”

180 degrees opposite of what most preachers say about Trump.

Could not see how eerily identical tRUMP really is to being the Antichrist.

From all of tRUMP's lies to all of his evil hostility for everything and everyone, one could easily see exactly who they were warning about in tRUMP.

Someone please hijack Fux Newz and pump subliminal messages over their network showing tRUMP is the Antichrist.
Please? Please? Please?
