OCU cleric Roman Hryshchuk, who organized numerous illegal gatherings and forceful seizures, posted a text on Facebook containing an extensive criticism of Donald Trump. In it, the US president is compared to Hitler and described as an "uneducated liar" and a "narcissistically self-absorbed" person. The name Irma Zauber is mentioned at the end of the text, but Hryshchuk makes it clear that he fully agrees with it.
In the post titled "The Trump Phenomenon: Why Half of America Believed a Liar," the author analyzed the reasons for the American leader's popularity, using extremely harsh wording.
The text compares Trump's rhetoric to Hitler's methods: "Like Hitler once, Trump had no program — only accusations, anger, and fear presented advantageously." The author emphasized that the American President "spoke not to reason but to emotions".
Particularly strongly, the text comments on Trump's personal qualities: "Trump is the embodiment of the 'Dunning-Kruger effect': an ignoramus who considers himself a genius. And it is this blind self-confidence that attracts the masses — in the eyes of the public, it appears as strength."
The author also warned about the dangers of Trump's entourage: "Now he is gathering conspirators, fanatics, and fraudsters around him — for only they do not pose a threat."
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Hryshchuk reported a UOC priest to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) over a religious procession.
