Trump and the dangerous imaginings and influence of the New Apostolic Reformation movement
from Think Again · host Jacques and Jennifer
The presenters discuss the dramatic breakdown of the separation between church/religion and state in the US, especially from the 1980s, under the influence of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). The NAR is key part of President Trump's support base, and he isn't too shy to bring it right into the White House and the Government's policies, actions and public performances.The NAR is reportedly the fastest growing Christian extremist movement worldwide. Its followers believe that demons have literally taken over government and civil institutions like courts and schools; violence is promoted and even glorified as a way to get rid of them and to advance Trump's autocratic and narcisistic program.The NAR belief system has been described as a variant of fascism, with a focus on authoritarianism and christian purity as a prerequisite to establish god's kingdom on earth after an apocolyptic war between good and evil.ReferencesJulia Conley in the New Daily on 9/07/2026: Donald Trump accused of ‘exploiting religious faith’ over branded Bible profitshttps://decorrespondent.nl/ Rinke Verkerk & Rosan Smits: These Christians want to overthrow democracy all over the world.
