PRÉCIS ON THE SIN OF PARTIALITY IN AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY: TRUMP’S FOURTH REICH AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE IMMIGRANT (WITH VIDEO)

SCRIPTURE. “My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with PARTIALITY. 

For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, ‘You sit here in a good place,’ and say to the poor man, ‘You stand there,’ or, ‘Sit here at my footstool,’ have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 

But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?” – JAMES 2:1-7, NKJV

KEY TERM: “PARTIALITY.”Prosópolémpsia’ [προσωπολημψίαις]: “Favoritism, respect of face or appearance, and persons [of rank, stature or great wealth].” NOTE: “Strong’s Greek 4382 speaks of the Sin of ‘Receiving the Face,’ treating people according to outward status rather than intrinsic worth before God. Scripture consistently portrays such Partiality as incompatible with the Divine Character and with authentic Christian discipleship.”

QUOTATION. “Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. ‘It’s POISONING THE BLOOD of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have’ (emphasis added).” – DONALD TRUMP, “Border Crisis Poisoning the Blood of Our Country,” Interview with Jack Montgomery, National Pulse, Sep. 27, 2023; edited

COMMENTARY. “‘James [soundly] condemns Showing Favoritism.’ Often we are inclined to treat a well-dressed, impressive looking person better than someone who looks shabby. ‘We do this because we would rather IDENTIFY with successful people than with apparent failures [the very foundation of IDOLATRY].’ Successful people can help us get ahead. The irony, as James reminds us, is that the supposed winners may have gained their impressive lifestyle at the expense of others. In addition, rich people find it difficult to identify with Jesus, who came as a Humble Servant.

Are you easily impressed by status, wealth, or fame? Are you partial to the “Haves” while ignoring the “Have Nots”? Check to see if you have this Sinful Attitude. God views all people equally as His children [sic.]. We should follow his example.” – RONALD A. BEERS, General Editor, “James 2:1-7,” Life Application Study Bible, 2022, pp. 2842-2843; edited

DK’S DANCE WITH DANUTA. Back in my early days at Regent University around 1985 serving as Founding Director of the Institute of Journalism, I came to know a CBN broadcaster named DANUTA (RYLKO-SODERMAN) PFEIFFER. At the time she was serving as Co-Hostess with Pat Robertson of the then popular, 700 Club.

The manner of my initial acquaintance was ignoble, as on my first encounters with her when I tried to find her a seat in the packed out auditorium one day. No, I was not being a gentleman; I was being a then-young somewhat Star-Struck Jerk, rightly called on it by my former colleague John Lawing as “currying favor” with a famous Christian media figure.

Now that that’s out of the way, to the REAL STORY.

Over the next year we would exchange messages to get to know each other a bit, and at one point I invited her to visit my Communication Theory course as a guest lecturer. As I introduced her, the class members were eager to hear what she had to say, but were to become shaken a bit by what she shared.

Without notes, she opened her speech by announcing that she was about to address ‘Knowing Reality’ or something like that. As she developed  a well-delivered thesis, the class would grow quieter and quieter as she concluded: “So the real point is, we can never be sure about what is Real and what is False.”

Stone cold Silence fell upon the room, and sensing the audience was no longer with her, she dared to ask; “Am I wrong?” What followed her question still resounds down the years as one of my earliest lessons about the Theology of Truth in memory. The entire class, in perfect unison, thundered:

“Danuta, you’re wrong!”

THE POINTS. First, I was back then much too concerned with elbowing up to the famous folks at CBN because of my new position as a big shot, but also because I was quite pleased with myself for such early notoriety. Second, I had nonetheless taught my class well about both the duty and the necessity of knowing what is Real (Truthful) and what is Unreal (False). Third, I learned that just because someone is high in the echelons of the American Church means little about their knowledge of both Christ and Canon.

• Footnote 1: Danuta was fired by Robertson in 1988 after he learned that her then-husband, Kai Soderman, had previously been twice married and divorced. She had married the Swedish businessman in 1983, six months after joining The 700 Club. Soderman was, previous to his conversion to Christ, a suicidal alcoholic and the two eventually divorced after she moved back to California.

• Footnote 2. She ceased being a Christian as a result of her experiences at CBN and returned to San Diego where she hosted several media broadcasts and later moved to Oregon and married wine grower Robin Pfeiffer, in 1984, and became aligned with a form of New Age Spirituality to this day.

• Footnote 3. During a visit to her home to have dinner with Danute and her husband, Suzette and I were getting ready to leave when Kai told me to briefly meet him in his home office. He told me he had received “A Word from the Lord,” for me and wanted to share it. As I stood there before his desk, he spoke in a thick Swedish accent, the following:

“Cliff, God tells me that you will write ‘only one book,’ and it will have lightning bolts and dark clouds on the front cover” (Summer 1985).

Some 30 years later, just a few weeks before DONALD TRUMP would descend that ominous Golden Escalator in New York’s Trump Tower on June 16, 2015. On May 17, 2015, I heard the Lord say to me: “Write the Book NOW!”

And neither I nor any of you nor anyone in the entire World have ever been the same since. Selah.

AMERICAN ARYANISM. “‘Aryanism is an ideology of Racial Supremacy that views a supposed “Aryan Race” as a distinct, superior, and MASTER RACE entitled to rule over others.’ Proponents falsely claim that this distinct biologically racial designation—often linked to Nordic or Germanic peoples—exists as a dominant, white genetically determined Ruling Class. Historically, it was popularized by 19th-century racial theorists, later becoming a central component of NAZI IDEOLOGY to justify White Supremacy, Antisemitism, and the Holocaust. ‘It posits a “Scientific Racism” that argues for a link between physical traits (e.g., fair skin, blonde hair) and superior intelligence, morality, and cultural capability.’” – AI Overview, ret. May 11, 2026; edited

If you are surprised or even shocked that I would connect the vicious Aryanism of ADOLF HITLER in his virulent hatred of the Jews with the ideology displayed constantly by DONALD TRUMP in his root-deep hatred of Non-White Immigrants, you should not be!

I came across an excellent article by DAVID LIVINGSTONE SMITH writing for Dangerous Speech, appropriately enough, in a piece titled, “Trump’s Rhetoric of Blood” (Oct. 19, 2023; edited). The astonishing statement Trump made in the earlier quotation has once again fallen on deafened ears and indifferent hearts in the White Evangelical Church and their leaders.

“After over ten years of study, I no longer believe it is irresponsible conjecture to presume that: ‘Donald Trump has been strongly influenced by Adolf Hitler.’ Smith writes, for example: “Trump’s former spouse Ivanka told her lawyer [in a Vanity Fair interview in 1990] that he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches near his bed.”

The title of that book was, My New Order (1941), the Führer‘s follow up to Mein Kampf (1925), which contained Hitler’s speeches from 1922-1940, Justification for Military Expansion, the “FOURTH REICH VISION,” Foreign Policy and Anti-Communism, and Anti-Semitic Rhetoric.” DK: Every single one of these themes is a central part of Donald Trump’s Political Vision and Rhetoric. Selah.     

ADOLF HITLER QUOTATION. “‘The theme of Racial Blood-Poisoning and the idea that ‘Racial Outsiders’ are vectors of deadly, contagious disease, was a mainstay of Nazi (and Neo-Nazi) Discourse.’ Hitler described the mixing of racially pure Germans with non-Germans as a ‘Poisoning” [the “pure” white racial blood of the German Aryans]. The Jew, he wrote in Mein Kampf, “poisons the blood of others” and described them as “International Poisoners” and expressed the view, as summarized by FELICITY RASH in her book The Language of Violence: Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf [2006] that:

“It was inevitable that these ‘Lower Beings’ [later called Immigrants ‘Unhumans’ by Trump supporter and author Jack Posobiec’s book by that name published in 2024] would try to poison the ‘Higher Aryans’ or to develop a Parasitic Dependency upon them.” According to HITLER this poses an existential threat because “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from Blood Poisoning.” Because Blood-Poisoning caused Germany to become diseased at the instigation of Jews, and the Marxists under their control, Hitler characterized Jews and Marxists as a ‘Plague’ or ‘Epidemic’ that is “worse than the Black Death of olden times.” – Smith, “Rhetoric of Blood,” 2024; edited

Beloved, ALL that Donald Trump is saying and doing with the explosion of over 200 Death Camps (i.e., “Detention Centers”) across America is a virtual Simulacrum of Hitlers Vision for the Third Reich.

The next section brings anguished, barbaric detail to these admittedly stonishing claims.

ATROCITY IN THE CAMPS. I continue to be appalled, beloved, at the absolute SILENCE from the White Evangelical Pastors in America for the horrors taking place inside these “Concentration Camps,” for that is what they are. When I use the word, “ATROCITY,” therefore, I am not carelessly throwing around buzz terms.

• DEFINITION. “An Atrocity is an act of extreme cruelty, brutality, or wickedness, often referring to violent crimes committed against civilians or prisoners during wartime. It denotes an appalling, shocking action or the State of being exceptionally atrocious, such as genocide, war crimes, or torture.” – AI Overview, ret. May 12, 2026; edited

• ORIGINS. “Adolf Hitler’s Early Camp System, established immediately after his appointment as Chancellor in January 1933, was designed as a rapid, extrajudicial response to suppress political opposition and consolidate Nazi power. These initial sites, often referred to as “wild camps,” were run by the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and local police, and were characterized by chaotic, makeshift conditions, with roughly 70 camps appearing in 1933 alone. The early camps were defined by extreme violence, with SA and SS guards subjecting inmates to severe beatings, torture, and degradation, though widespread systematic killing was ‘Not Yet’ the primary goal.” – AI Overview, ret.

TRUMP CAMP PRACTICES. Reports from the first half of 2026 indicate a sharp rise in fatalities and systemic abuse within the U.S. immigration detention system during Donald Trump’s second term. Human rights organizations and news outlets have documented a record-breaking number of deaths, severe medical neglect, and physical violence across multiple facilities.

Of necessity, the following facts have been gathered from a large number of sources collated and categorized by three AI Overview reports retrieved on May 12-13, 2026. The Reasons for this unusual method of literature review is stated below.

Suppression. Reports regarding brutality and inhumane conditions inside Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centers face significant hurdles due to active obstruction, lack of transparency, and strategic intimidation of the press, particularly with the rise in detentions in 2025 and 2026. While some reports exist, documentation of abuse is hindered by a system that has become increasingly opaque, often denying access to media and lawmakers.

Romans 1:18. “For God’s [holy] wrath and indignation are revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who in their wickedness repress and hinder the truth and make it inoperative” (Amplified Classic Edition).

With those qualifiers in mind, here are the results of my survey.

• DEATH TOLL. At least 17-33 people died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in the first four months of 2026 alone. This follows a 2025 total of 32 to 46 deaths, already the highest in nearly 20 years.

• PREVENTABLE DEATHS. Investigations found many deaths resulted from delayed or withheld medical care. Examples include a person who died after a tooth infection spread to their lungs and others who were denied essential blood pressure and seizure medications.

• FINANCIAL NEGLECT. Reports indicate ICE failed to pay third-party medical providers for months, contributing to the collapse of healthcare services within facilities.

• ASSAULT & HOMOCIDE. At Fort Bliss, at least one death was ruled a homicide due to neck and chest compression. Detainees there also reported guards crushing their testicles during beatings.

• SEXUAL ABUSE. Documented cases include an ICE contractor pleading guilty to sexually abusing a detainee in Louisiana and reports of sexual abuse at facilities in Texas.

• PUNITIVE TREATMENT. At Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” and Krome Centers, Amnesty International documented treatment amounting to torture, including prolonged solitary confinement and guards slamming metal doors on detainees’ hands.

• DETENTION OF CHILDREN. By April 2026, over 6,200 children+were in ICE detention—a tenfold increase from earlier years. Many were held in cells meant for adults for nearly six days on average, well beyond the 72-hour legal limit.

• SUBSTANDARD LIVING. Parents at the Dilley Facility reported children getting thin because they could only eat bread, with other food often containing worms or mold.

• PREGNANT WOMEN. Rights groups have documented cases of medical neglect and physical abuse involving pregnant women in multiple Detention Centers.

• SYSTEMIC OVERCROWDING. The number of detainees reached a record 66,000 by late 2025, with plans to expand to over 100,000 beds in 2026.

• REDUCED OVERSIGHT. The Administration eliminated three oversight sub-agencies and prohibited members of Congress from conducting inspections, making the system increasingly opaque.

• NONCRIMINAL DETENTION. Despite administration claims of targeting “violent criminals,” data shows approximately 40–86% of those detained had no criminal record. Additionally, ProPublica documented over 170 improper arrests of U.S. citizens

TRUMP’S FOURTH REICH. Beloved, though I realize many will not agree with me on this Proposal, but after ten years of exhaustive research and theological sifting: I am convinced that President Trump is indeed constructing an American Fourth Reich, based overwhelmingly on Adolf Hiter’s Political Vision expressed in both Mein Kampf (1925) and My New Order (1941).

And I’m not the only one.

In a breathtaking statement made by Trump himself ostensibly posted on May 20, 2024, on his Truth Social platform that he desired just that. The Atlantic magazine’s award-winning journalist, DAVID A. GRAHAM, examined Trump’s thunderous declaration in an excellent piece titled, “The Real Meaning of Trump’s ‘Unified Reich’ Post” (May 21, 2024; edited).

“‘At this point, Americans will believe almost any story about Donald Trump.’ That is both a strength and a weakness for him. On the one hand, it means that nearly nothing he says, including for example that he wants to be a Dictator, penetrates too deeply. On the other hand, it means people rarely extend him the benefit of the doubt, even when it’s warranted.

That’s what happened yesterday, when Trump’s Truth Social account posted a video featuring fake newspapers with celebratory imagined headlines about Trump (It’s a Landslide! Trump Wins!!). Below, a sub-headline referred to ‘THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH.’ Naturally, the combination of Trump and a ‘Unified Reich’ was combustible. ‘This man is a stain, a Nazi, a pure a [sic] simple garbage of a human being,’ fulminated Adam Kinzinger, the former Republican Congressman. ‘Flush Trump down the toilet!’ The controversy is illuminating about Trump and the presidential campaign, but perhaps not in the ways that it first appeared.

‘Trump’s account has removed the video, and his campaign said it did not create the video but REPOSTED it from another user.’ It also said the post was done not by Trump but by a staffer who hadn’t noticed the ‘Reich’ reference. Although Trump has a long history of blaming staffers for foolish posts, the excuse here is plausible. The video appears to have been made using a stock video template available online. And the text that appears in the video—about the ‘Unified Reich’—comes, as the Associated Press notes, from a Wikipedia entry about World War I (‘German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich’) rather than anything about Nazis. It’s a safe bet that the gospel singer Candi Staton wasn’t aiming to boost Hitler when she used the same template for a video of a song about the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing …

‘Trump’s problem here is that even though his excuse makes sense, he is also an Authoritarian who has used Anti-Semitic language.’ Believing that he might have posted subtle Nazi messaging doesn’t require much of a leap. Not only did he attempt to steal the last election and promise to be a Dictator, but he has also consistently disregarded checks and balances and suggested ‘Termination of the Constitution.’ He called Neo-Nazi Marchers in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 ‘very fine people,’ hobnobbed with White Nationalists, and delivered menacing remarks about American Jews who do not support him—on Rosh Hashanah, no less. His former chief of staff says Trump once told him that ‘Hitler did some good things.’ It’s no coincidence that so many of those past sloppy reposts came from supporters of his who hold hateful views.”

LAST THOUGHTS. So beloved, just what may we responsibly conclude about all this after nearly 11 years of Donald Trump inarguably running roughshod over the entire American and World Order in just those few years? Not to minimize the gravity of these events, I am reminded of the old saying: “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.”

My friends, if President Donald John Trump isn’t a Hitlerian Wannabe, then my nearly 50 years of training and experience as a political communication analyst is one hundred percent wrong. To say nothing of the nearly prima facie theological case for Donald Trump being the Biblical Antichrist.

So let me close with this. DR. HENK DE BERG, is Professor of German at the University of Sheffield in Britain. He is a leading expert on the Hitler-Trump similarity and wrote an exhaustive analysis of this connection in, Trump and Hitler: A Comparative Study in Lying (2024).

Here are his DIRE WARNINGS.

“One of the most worrying things for me about Trumpism is the way he has managed to transform what you thought were very Rightwing but ultimately Rational politicians into people who have become basically Trumpists. What happened was not that they manipulated Trump but Trump ended up manipulating them and then, in effect, just taking over the Republican Party. All these people had to renounce all the things they used to believe in: international free trade agreements, a forward-leaning role for America in the world.”

‘There is method in Trump’s Madness:’ The buffoonery, chaos and word salad speeches may be more calculated than they appear. I would like people to become more aware of how incredibly consciously Trump is going about doing what he’s doing, how incredibly Cunning and Devious he’s been. ‘People should absolutely not underestimate this guy.’” – DAVID SMITH, “The Reich Stuff – What Does Trump Really Have in Common with Hitler?,” The Guardian, June 3, 2024; edited

CODA. In conclusion, JOHN THE APOSTLE cries urgent attention with a surgically accurate definition of who and what Donald Trump is, by the Biblical Canon. We would do well to most soberly and fearfully consider it – and then: Act accordingly for all the Days to Come.

“Who is THE LIAR but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)? This is THE ANTICHRIST [the enemy and antagonist of Christ], the one who denies and consistently refuses to acknowledge the Father and the Son.” – 1 JOHN 2:22, AMP

The Word of Very God to the Church of the Last Days. Selah.
