TRUMP as Christ? AND Defending Fr. Ripperger

In a fiery episode of *Timothy Gordon Rules for Retrogrades*, host Timothy Gordon delivers a blistering defense of Father Chad Ripperger against feminist critics Melody Lyons and Brie Dale, who accuse him of promoting 'obsession with demons' through his public exorcism ministry. Gordon dismantles the accusations as hysterical, baseless, and rooted in personal grievance rather than doctrine, emphasizing that Ripperger consistently teaches that demons are monomaniacal, boring, and obsessed with destroying humanity—not the other way around. The episode pivots sharply to a scathing critique of President Trump’s recent post of himself as Jesus in a first-century tunic, which Gordon calls a delusional, gaslighting act emblematic of the 'boomer generation's' pattern of denying reality. He condemns Trump’s defense—that he was merely posing as a Red Cross doctor—as absurd and reveals a deeper cultural crisis: the inability of older leaders to apologize, admit fault, or engage with moral accountability. Gordon frames the episode as a battle between authentic spiritual authority and performative feminism, urging listeners to support traditional Catholic figures like Ripperger and to reject the 'fake news' narrative that seeks to silence them.
