Jesus comes from the Hrbrew word for salvation. Although I don't agree with saying people are our Lord and savior, Trump is definitely giving us some some salvation. Point for you.

God Emperor is most fitting. It triggers the libs.

Is Trump a Theophany? I am keeping an open mind. God has walked among men many times over the thousands of years of history.

No but it triggers the libs.

It's probably a Dune, not theological, reference.

No, it's a Warhammer reference.

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Emperor_of_Mankind (I'd suggest reading it all because it's interesting fiction, but focus on the "Original Origin" section)

TL;DR extra-dimensional daemons born from human wickedness had taken shape and began to feed on human souls when they died and returned to "The Immaterium", or the astral plane. Realizing this, many Shaman and other psychically powerful humans held conclave and determined that the only way to face the demons of the warp and avoid being consumed was to commit group suicide so they would all arrive in the Warp at once and could fuse into a single powerful soul. And boy, did it fucking work. They incinerated everything that was waiting at the boundary to feed on them, and reincarnated together into "The New Man", his psychic energies so great that they re-shaped him in the womb into an immortal and powerful psychic being. From that point on, he would lead Humanity and protect them against the daemons of the Warp (the name for the now-corrupted Immaterium)

Warhammer players rightly see some parallels and it's fun to think of President Trump as our own God-Emperor, born and\or sent to lead us against the daemons currently consuming our planet--figurative or otherwise.

I'll be honest, my mind is not nearly that open. Its fun to pretend tho.
