The anti-Christ is closer to Trump.

"Left Behind books do not follow scripture, at all.
This is straight from scripture, starting with the False Prophet:
The False Prophet- also called 'Beast #2' in Revelation 13 'brings fire from the sky in the sight of men' - before all men, a worldwide audience who will watch this in awe.
He brings a 'new currency' which he will replace the old currencies with.
He has the ability to 'Mark' head or hand with something that will interact with this new currency. Only those who accept the Mark will be able to buy or sell. Every living person on earth will have to accept or reject this Mark.
Beast #2 joins the Antichrist after the Antichrist 'seemingly suffers a mortal head wound'. He will promote the Antichrist, and in exchange Beast #2 is granted 'all authority' of the Antichrist, by the Antichrist over the Nation and it's wealth.
This Nation is the richest and most powerful on Earth- 'able to trod down all other nations'.
Beast#2 and the Antichrist will plunder the Nations riches and "divide the land for a price" (of loyalty) to a small number of followers. In other words, they will sell the nations public lands and plunder it's wealth.
The Antichrist will take over this country by 'guile' "without ever having been given the honor of royalty" In other words, without ever holding public office before in his life. He will convince the people he is 'above the law' and become, literally, "the Lawless One".
Jesus said "I came in my Fathers name and was rejected...", but the Antichrist will "come in his own name" and be embraced by Christians and Jews. In other words- The AC's own name is his 'brand'.
Many Christians will flock to him as a quasi 'savior' and he will fool even the leadership of the churches. They will set him on high.
He will invade the King of the South - North- and eventually attack a nation 'to the east'. He will come to power claiming peace and safety- then go to war against his neighbors.
He will make a peace Accord for Israel and her neighbors and the expand this to a 7 year agreement, adding more. Eventually he will stab Israel in the back.
The world will look upon him (and follow his every move) in 'wonder'. The word translation in Strong's Concordance from the Greek is more like 'flabbergasted' or shocked or amazed. NOT 'loved'. Christians and some others who are under a "great delusion" will follow and worship him- but not the entire world. 2 Thessalonians 2, Matt. 24:24.
He is a 'Vile' person. Daniel 11:21
He is boastful: He continually boasts about himself- speaking "great things and then even greater."
He will roar like a lion, letting everyone know who is the best and most powerful of men. Daniel 7:4
He is a liar who will prosper because of his lies:
"By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great." - Daniel 8:25a
"...and it will throw truth to the ground, and it will act and prosper." - Daniel 8:12
He is a contemptible person:
"In his place shall arise a contemptible person to whom royal majesty has not been given. He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries." - Daniel 11:21
He is described as 'stout', heavy-set: "...and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows." Dan 7:21
This Antichrist will rise to power "from the Sea". Mar means 'Sea', in Spanish. And in the end he will go into the "Lake of Fire". Lago means 'Lake' in Spanish."
