The article discusses the rise of conspiracy theories in the face of President Trump, who has been accused of living under a false narrative for over a decade. The article suggests that after Trump cast himself as Jesus on a Truth Social post, some corners of his political ecosystem speculated that he might instead be the Antichrist. This led to interpretations of the 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the assassination attempt itself. The author points out that even smaller, more ordinary events like an assassination attempt or Trump casting himself as Christ, such as the recent “DoorDash” event, which was intended to promote Trump’s tax policy, have also fueled conspiracy theories. Despite these conspirators' claims, the author acknowledges that there is a significant gap in trust in American institutions and a lack of trust in institutions.
