Some Christians believe Trump is the "beast" of Revelation chapter 13 (a.k.a. "the "Antichrist" and the "son of perdition").
For Trump to be the Antichrist, when he is "revealed" (see the Scripture in red below), he would have to turn against many of his supporters--assuming a lot of them are conservative Christians--and be embraced by those who typically hate him (those who typically are opposed to the values and beliefs of conservative Christians).
The Antichrist will persecute the saints of God (those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ), and most Christians, that I know, do like certain things that Trump did and stands for--obviously there are some things they do not like about him.
It's hard to see how such a flip-flop of support would come about. There are reasons to see the future antichrist as from the Middle East, probably Islamic.
Time will tell.
that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:4-8
And the dragon was enraged with the woman [Israel], and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:17
