Just like with Elon Musk, who was hugely responsible for T-rump winning the 2024 election, the Oval Office lunatic is enamored with Satan because the Prince of Darkness represents the evil ways in which Donald Trump has led his life, conducted his businesses, and is now terrorizing and destroying America.
Rick Wilson, an anti-Trump GOP strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, wrote a best-seller, "Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump--and Democrats from Themselves." The book was written for the 2020 election with the following blurb...
"NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One of the founders of The Lincoln Project, the bestselling author of Everything Trump Touches Dies is back with a guidebook for beating Trump’s tricks, traps, and tweets in 2020."
Joe Scarborough, of MSNBC's Morning Joe, had this to say...
“If you believe America’s future depends on Donald Trump’s political machine being crushed at the polls next year, then Rick Wilson’s Running Against the Devil is a must-read.”
Apparently the voting public paid no attention because the accomplice of the evil spirit won and is currently attempting to dissect our country into pieces this tyrant can control under his dictatorship. But he hasn't been all successful, considering Alison Durkee's piece in Forbes, Here Are All The Major Lawsuits Against Trump And Musk—As Judge Cuts Off DOGE’s Treasury Access. The timeline starts with Jan. 20, 2024, inauguration day, and goes through Feb. 8. Also obvious, Donald Trump has SCOTUS in his pocket.
Jeffery R. Wilson, a teacher of writing at Harvard University, has another viewpoint. He says, "Trump is Satan," with the sub-headline, "Paradise Lost in Washington, DC." The latter refers to John Milton's "Paradise Lost," published in 1667, with a charismatic Satan and naked, innocent Adam and Eve at the center of his story, it was a human tragedy about the

Fall of Man. Wilson's treatise on Trump as Satan starts with...
"Donald Trump is Satan. The Satan in question is perhaps the greatest literary character in the finest epic poem in the English language, John Milton’s Paradise Lost. That makes Washington Republicans the other fallen angels."
The author exclaims that Republicans made a deal with the devil, selling their souls like Dr. Faustus, bringing back memories of Mitch McConnell, who placed GOP power over everything, including ethics. In the Wilson quote, above, Washington Republicans as the other fallen angels, is a superb description of Trump's flunkys in Congress and others in his administration who are unbelievably scared of him, constantly in fear of his wrath. But Jeffrey Wilson worries his piece will be seen as just political railing against Trump...
"Trump as Satan: you might think it’s absurdly over-the-top, or want to celebrate it as a (literally) epic takedown, but this is not a political statement hurling invective. It’s an analytical statement describing what is happening – what will happen – and why, aided by the Miltonic intervention. Great literature helps us understand the world. Both politicians and literary critics do their jobs best when they’re willing to use literature to think about life.
Key words, 'analytical statement,' professing that Wilson has done his homework, and you can count on his verbalizations. Here's the scenario...
"Published in London in 1667, Paradise Lost is a Christian humanist epic about the war in Heaven and the fall of humankind in the Garden of Eden. Though he’s the ‘author of evil,’ Satan is shockingly an attractive character. He charms us with his energy. When God the Father anoints his Son king over the other angels, Satan, ‘Great in power’, doesn’t think it’s fair. The system was rigged."
Sound familiar? Donald Trump is denied the White House in 2020 when Joe Biden beats him to take over the Oval Office. From then, until he won the election in 2024, and continuing even today, Trump has asserted his right to office because 2020 was rigged for Biden. And of course all his lackeys like Kari Lake, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and several more acted as cheerleaders and still do. Here's another description from Milton that fits T-rump, except I deny he is a "powerful orator," rather just a bigmouth...
"A powerful orator, but loose with the truth, Satan secures a base of support, ‘and with lyes drew after him the third part of Heav’ns Host.’ This third of the angels back Satan to the bitter end, no matter what."
Paradise Lost seems so Trump-laden that I decided to read it again. In the meantime, John Milton recognizes Satan as a relentless liar and the first Never Satan-er to stand up is an angel named Abdiel, after which a war ensues, and God must send his Son to bring it all to a halt. But Jeffrey Wilson says, "Trump’s minions won’t fall so willingly" with Milton seeing it this way...
Republicans are more likely to fall like the stars in the Book of Revelation, Milton’s source: ‘His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth.’ That image of a falling Satan’s tail whipping out behind him, snagging the third of the angels that backed him, pulling them down, is what Milton invoked in the poem’s first epic simile. After crashing down in Hell, Satan lies belly-down in the swamp, a slumbering Leviathan.
Trump has always said he wants to clean the swamp. Perhaps the "cleaning" has always meant that we should just get rid of Donals Trump.
