There is increasing speculation that there will be indictments issued by the special counsel Robert Mueller within the next ten days against some of the Trump campaign officials, possibly Trump Jnr and Kushner, regarding colluding with Russia to influence the the 2016 election. Also today the Wall Street Journal has reported that the Justice department is preparing to prosecute Julian Assange, possibly for his role in Wikileaks releasing hacked Democratic emails in the lead up to the election or for his releasing of secret defence files.

Bloomberg:

…Trump’s former personal lawyer has pleaded guilty to a new federal charge that involved a plan to give Russian president Vladimir Putin a $US50 million ($68 million) penthouse in a Moscow high rise.

Cohen, who told the investigators that the plans had been scrapped in early 2016, admitted on Thursday that negotiations had in fact continued through June that year.

So just before the US presidential election; so much for definitely no collusion?

Oh man, surely even some diehard Trumpsters will start to see how rotten this is?

During his 4th July speech Trump stated that there were airports in the USA during the 1770s, and the incidents he was referring to did not happen during the Revolutionary War as he stated but happened during the War of 1812.

More evidence from a right wing conspiracy theorist that Donald Trump is the Jewish Messiah. Trump may not have time to be president after the next election if he is busy saving the world.

isn’t he too old to be the Messianic figure of the world, who will deceive the Jews while he pretends to be God.

People thought it was Obama, Putin or even the Pope as being the Anti-Christ, and yet people still believe Obama is that person.

I’m not what you mean with Obama people didn’t claim he was the saviour or whatever.

Some people think that Trump may be the Antichrist.

he is hated around the world not loved.

Well he’s treating immigrants with inhumane detention so he is putting himself with that label . He is the Antichrist .

That is pretty bold to say that he is, and that it can be no one else. You know what it may not even be him or it could be, but we will know for sure when that person proclaims to be God.

Another thing with Trump is he is proclaiming that he’s is the saviour as well. If he thinks that causing division between races, punishing families and children and inhumane conditions he is definetly not the saviour.

Sad the republicans have fallen for tripe.

All this talk about an antichrist is just ridiculous. Put it in the religion thread so i don’t need to read it… American politics has separated itself from the church as should this thread.
