Russell Brand, a professed Christian, recently had this to say about President Donald Trump:
Well I do feel optimistic about MAGA, MAHA, I do, because how I came to – not Christ – but how I came to Trump, was like, if they hate him this much there’s got to be something he’s doing right. I don’t know what it is yet, because I was on board with the ‘yeah, you can’t say Mexicans are rapists, that’s horrible,’ you know, but then I just slowly through realizing that the institutional Kafkaesque bureaucrats that ultimately tried to destroy me – I came to think, ‘now, this guy’ – and then more and more I think he’s, like, he’s an American mystic, that’s what I think. He’s like some sort of silverback creature of the American imagination. If there were an American prophet, of course he eats McDonalds, and drinks Coke, and goes around in a jet with his own name on it. What does the American myth demand of you? Of course you’ll have big, phallic, phallic towers with your name. America created him. America needed him. America got him. And I think that he might be the end of the kind of globalism that we were fearful of before when we were doing censorship-industrial complex and stuff, but just none of us knows what it will beget. And I say that without the one true God, I’d be concerned.
