Repost: Predictive History's God Emperor Trump

Last Sunday, Trump survived the third attempted assassination on his life. Cole Allen, a thirty-one year old California teacher, booked a room at the Hilton Hotel, the same hotel in which John Hinckley attempted to assassinate Reagan. He tried to make his way to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner with multiple weapons, and was apprehended unharmed and half-naked before he could enter the ballroom where President Trump was dining alongside Vice-President JD Vance and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Had Allen succeeded in his mission, 92-year old Chuck Grassley would have become President of the United States.
There were multiple shots fired, though none came from the alleged assassin. Like the pro that he is, Trump smirked at the sound of the shots, which rattled his wife and the mind-reader Oz Pearlman, that night’s entertainment.
Vance was escorted quickly out of the ballroom, and Trump took his time. His good friend Dana White (who will host a UFC fight at the White House in June) said he found the chaos “awesome.” Trump spied the ballroom clearing from backstage, and even wanted the show to go on. Before the dinner, his press secretary Karoline Leavitt giddily told everyone to watch because there would be “shots fired.” Trump had refused to join the White House Correspondents’ Dinner before as President. That evening, he brought his Cabinet, including FBI Director Kash Patel (whom Allen had specifically mentioned in his manifesto as an innocent member of the Trump administration of “rapists and pedophiles”).
Trump held a press conference right after the shooting to demand his own ballroom so that he could be forever safe from assassins. In mid-April, a federal judge blocked Trump’s construction of a ballroom as part of his renovation of the White House East Wing. He explained that only Congress could authorize funding (regardless of the fact that Trump had raised the $300 million via private donations). The exception was if Trump were compelled to build the ballroom for security reasons. How fortunate then that the attempted assassination provided the necessary justification. MAGA influencers demanded that the ballroom be built, speaking with one voice. Senator Rand Paul immediately proposed a bill for Trump’s ballroom.
Why all this sound and fury for a ballroom?
There are two competing theories as to what the ballroom really is. Audrey Henson on her Substack “The Drey Dossier” argues that it’s a cover for a secret underground data center that will be protected by executive privilege. She identifies the architect, the donors, and the contractor as from Big Tech and the Military Industrial Complex. The architect is Shalom Baranes, who reinforced the Pentagon after the 9/11 attack. The ten largest corporate donors are Meta Platforms, Apple, Amazon, Google, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Comcast, Altria, Coinbase, and Palantir. The largest individual donor is Miriam Adelson, who has pledged $250 million if Trump were to run in 2028. Clark Construction, the anointed contractor, has built six secret data centers.
There is also speculation that Trump’s ballroom is meant to be the Third Temple. The Washington Post reports that the design is modeled on Solomon’s Temple, and will eclipse the White House itself once finished. The architect Shalom Baranes has experience renovating both military installations and synagogues.
Then there is how last month Trump quoted 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 to his Christian followers, many of whom believe Trump to be the Second Coming of Jesus:
When Solomon had finished the temple of the Lord and the royal palace, and had succeeded in carrying out all he had in mind to do in the temple of the Lord and in his own palace, the Lord appeared to him at night and said:
“I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices…if you walk before me faithfully as David your father did, and do all I command, and observe my decrees and laws, I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to rule over Israel.’
That Trump may be building the Third Temple puts the Butler, Pennsylvania attempted assassination in a new light. Recall that Trump’s right ear was bloodied, and that he had lost his shoes. This echoes Leviticus 14:14 which describes how a priest is to be consecrated for a divine task:
The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.
Look at the picture below, and notice how the bloody ear (the mark of consecration) is highlighted, how two hands hover above Trump like a divine halo or Caesar’s laurel, and how Trump is being swept forward in a triumphant anointment. The scene has powerful religious resonances for those with “eyes and ears.”
There is no contradiction between the theory that Trump’s ballroom is Solomon’s Temple, and that it is an underground data center. Solomon built his Temple so that God may live with His people, and what is God but omniscience?
Peter Thiel’s Palantir is named after a crystal that can see everything in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. It can be referred to as the “all-seeing eye,” which appears on America’s one-dollar bill. It is also the dream of the Freemasons, which have adorned it on their temples.
When I was young, I watched a 1980s television series called “The Brotherhood of the Rose.” Robert Mitchum played the antagonist, a CIA deputy director who joined a secret society that manipulated geo-politics. He blackmailed Washington politicians, and had their darkest secrets hidden in a vault underneath his roses in a green house.
Trump’s ballroom once completed will truly be the House of God, and grant him omniscience and omnipotence. It promises to be his own private FBI, CIA, and NSA.
The concept of a “unitary executive” (a euphemism for emperor) is yet another symptom of a society in decline. The American empire feels too constrained by the antiquated Constitution’s separation of powers, and demands to be unfettered. If America is to act decisively at home and abroad to maintain its power, then it needs an emperor in charge of an AI surveillance state. Curtis Yarvin, the prophet of Silicon Valley, has long championed monarchy over democracy.
It is dangerous to give a madman like Trump the powers of a God Emperor, but it is necessary because only a madman will accept this divine mission to be the empire’s sacrificial scapegoat. There is no way that the House of America’s AI God can be completed by 2028. And how many years does a man who gorges on cheeseburgers have left?
Yet again, Trump’s greatest gift is how everyone underestimates him. Did anyone think that Trump could be President again after January 6th?
Mark my words: Trump has yet to play his greatest trick.
