Mark my words.
He's not picking Easter because it's a very special day for him.
He picked Easter because, in his fucked mind, he thinks that for all of history, "his" "resurrection of America" will be celebrated alongside Christ. Hell, he may even refer to it as the "day he brought our country back to life".
No matter what the fuck is happening in America this Easter... even if there are mule drawn carts collecting the dead bodies of Americans to be turned to Soilent Green...he'll declare the war won.
Despite the blasphemy of all that, his racist evangelicals will prostrate themselves before their new God.
Oh... it's happening sweetheart.

(43,391 posts)Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: Ēastre [æːɑstrə] or [eːɑstrə], Northumbrian dialect Ēastro, Mercian dialect and West Saxon dialect (Old English) Ēostre [eːostrə]; Old High German: *Ôstara ) is a Germanic goddess who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name (Northumbrian: Ēosturmōnaþ; West Saxon: Ēastermōnaþ; Old High German: Ôstarmânoth), is the namesake of the festival of Easter in some languages. Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time, where Bede states that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the equivalent of April), pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Ēostre's honour, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.
Theories connecting Ēostre with records of Germanic Easter customs, including hares and eggs, have been proposed. Particularly prior to the discovery of the matronae Austriahenae and further developments in Indo-European studies, debate has occurred among some scholars about whether or not the goddess was an invention of Bede. Ēostre and Ostara are sometimes referenced in modern popular culture and are venerated in some forms of Germanic neopaganism.

"He knew what was coming, we never knew this was going to happen, but I acted so tremendously quickly...a lot of people are saying that... and we never imagined... no one could have imagined. Jesus knew, but everyone knows that what happened to us, no one could have seen this coming".
"Jesus left us a mess, everybody knows that, and I've been treated very unfairly".
"Thank you"
