THE TRUTH ABOUT: Maga makes plans for apocalyptic battle | History Defined

Donald Trump is charged with 91 felonies in multiple criminal trials and is facing the reality that he may have to serve hundreds of years in prison if convicted for his obvious crimes. His strategy to escape these consequences is to delay the proceedings until he can be elected president – and as promised, declare himself dictator. As part of that strategy, Trump and his attorneys are arguing that he is above the law like a king or emperor because while president he supposedly had the unlimited power to do such things as command that his political rivals be murdered and take bribes in exchange for pardons and other political favors. 

In a parallel argument, Donald Trump is now telling his followers that he is the Chosen One, a messiah or prophet of “god” and “Jesus Christ” who is a tool of destiny, which means he is outside of human law.
