Trump Chokes the World's Oil Supply & MAGA Calls Him the Anti-Christ #1741

Trump's Hormuz blockade sparks global recession warnings — and MAGA is now calling him the Anti-Christ. Tonight on The Mop-Up. The Strait of Hormuz blockade is the dumbest and most dangerous thing a sitting U.S. president has ever done. Twenty percent of the world's oil moves through that channel. Saudi Arabia is nervous. The IMF is warning of a global recession. There is no military solution — only damage control for a catastrophe Trump created, ignored every warning about, and now can't walk back without looking weak. In Texas, Republicans have found a new group to hate. Running against immigrants doesn't poll the way it used to — border crossings are at a record low — so the party consciously pivoted to Muslims. This isn't an accident. It's a strategy. The "Epic City" panic, manufactured by men like Brandon Gill and amplified by Greg Abbott, is Exhibit A in how Republican politics manufactures enemies to win primaries. Pete Hegseth's pastor wants a Christian theocracy. Doug Wilson has already built one in Idaho. And Elbridge Colby told the Vatican to fall in line behind U.S. military power. The party that claims to love Jesus has clearly never read the Sermon on the Mount. Oh, and *Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nick Fuentes, and the specter of Jared Kushner's 666 Fifth Avenue building* have convinced a growing slice of MAGA that Donald Trump is literally the Anti-Christ.
