The New Messiah

The 45. US president;as the " redeemer"

Evangelicals in the US believe they have found a new messiah in Trump

Religious zealots and hard-core Evangelicals believe they found their saviour in Trump. A definition that plays perfectly with Trump's narcissistic character. It also serves him in pressing on with his authoritarian agenda.

Early on in his campaign, he already showed the typical characteristics dictators seem to have in their DNA. The "Messiah Complex" is s a very strong indicator.

Trump's "I alone can fix it"... I know better than anybody about..." (whatever the subject is at the time) is indicative for megalomaniacs, especially those with a poor intellect.

The notion that he alone can fix everything was also a tenor in his inauguration speech.

Just as Hitler was seen as the "saviour" (mostly by those that had never been in any elevated position and usually were "yes-men" to their superiors), most of Trump's sychophants and cult-like followers are people of lower standing; those that are educate see him as a useful and necessary tool to further their own agenda for superiority.

This video is a compilation of Trump's delusional belief:

This kind of delusion poses a great danger.

When someone wields as much power as the current US president (and since Jan. 31, 2020 he has received more or less carte-blanche from the Republicans in the Senate, when they blatantly disregarded all evidence to the contrary and decided to abdicate their oversight responsibility and their duty to hold any US president to account), this person in power will decide over any and all objections from experts to do what he fancies or is convinced he has every right to do.

The catastrophic results of such unchecked power in the hands of a delusional megalomaniac with a messiah complex is documented in the fall of NAZI Germany.

Hitler knew next to nothing of military strategy, he had been a small and insignificant private in WWI. Yet, he often decided to send his troops to their certain death simply because he had willed an operation against all better judgement of his generals. The latter, however, were his enablers. Those that dared to refute him, had almost instantly been removed at the time, sent to prison or were summarily executed. What was left, were men so afraid to cause a temper tantrum in the Fuehrer that they betrayed their troops, the men entrusted to them and dependent on their decisions.

When finally a small group of Wehrmacht officers dared to hatch the unspeakable plan to assasinate the Fuehrer, there were those among them, that would again cowardly betray their own. Count von Stauffenberg was the victim of such cowardice as history shows.

37-year old Claus Schenk Count von Stauffenberg, inspite of his young age, was already a seasoned veteran who had seen his share of war to last him a life-time. However, when he was first approached by Ulrich-Wilhelm Count von Schwerin von Schwanenfeld, a German landowner, officer and resistance fighter against the Nazi régime, who urged him to to become the adjutant of Walther von Brauchitsch, then Supreme Commander of the Army, in order to participate in a coup against Hitler, Stauffenberg believed he had to decline.

His reason was that as an officer he couldn't betray the oath all German soldiers had pledged: allegiance not to the institution of the presidency of the German Reich, but to the person of Adolf Hitler, due to the Führereid introduced in 1934.(See the parallels to Trump who also demands an oath of loyalty to himself, not the presidency... as then FBI director James Comey later attested, after Ttump had fired him; he didn't comply with Trump's request.)

But, Stauffenberg was a practising Catholic, and his conscience in view of the many atrocities that were committed by the NAZIS as the war went on, finally made him change his mind. He joined the resistance.

In The Resistance 1943–44

For his injuries, Stauffenberg had been awarded the Wound Badge in Gold and for his courage the German Cross in Gold.
For rehabilitation, Stauffenberg was sent to his home, Schloss Lautlingen (today a museum), then still one of the Stauffenberg castles in southern Germany. Initially, he felt frustrated not to be in a position to stage a coup himself. But by the beginning of September 1943, after a somewhat slow recovery from his wounds, he was propositioned by the conspirators and was introduced to Henning von Tresckow as a staff officer to the headquarters of the Ersatzheer ("Replacement Army" – charged with training soldiers to reinforce first line divisions at the front), located on the Bendlerstrasse (later Stauffenbergstrasse) in Berlin.
