Trump 47
- Thread starter PF5
- Start date
That's really going to appeal to Catholic voters.
I wonder if he is being monitored and they are stopping some things from getting out but can't stop too much to keep from infuriating him. I kinda think if that were true the Easter tweet would have been pulled. OTOH, maybe that isn't so bad compared to what would come out if he could.Took me a second.
And he really has lost his marbles, hasn’t he?
Anti-war- Gone
Fix inflation- Gone
Peace in Ukraine- yeah, right
Tariffs to bring back manufacturing- moved some of Chinese manufacturing to Vietnam
Abortion- Done (but abortion rate not changed, probably a little higher due to economy)
Trans-issues- at the point that nobody cares.
Immigration- losing
Honestly, this is all they have left. Sadly, it is enough for them:

I wish Trump could have added to the picture: "I will resign as God told me to so I can go on the greatest healing crusade the world has ever seen for Jesus."

I take it as a demonic warning sign of evil to the world indicating that Trump is a bad and evil president, while complementing the supposed Epstein figure. The awful photo won't improve Trump's chances of going to heaven.

'Gross blasphemy'. Image depicting Trump as Jesus figure removed after uproar
Religious conservatives have been some of President Donald Trump’s strongest supporters, but some are speaking out against an image the president posted online depicting himself as a Jesus-like figure.
The image is blasphemous, some said. It is sacrilegious. And it is politically unwise. Amid the backlash, the image was removed from Trump's social media feed in what appeared to be a rare concession to critics.
“This is gross blasphemy,” Brilyn Hollyhand, the former chair of the Republican National Committee’s Youth Advisory Council and a self-described “full time Christian” said of the image in a social media post. “Faith is not a prop. You don’t need to portray yourself as a savior when your record should speak for itself.”
The president posted the image on his Truth Social account April 12. It depicted Trump in a white robe laying his hand on the forehead of a man who appears to be in a sick bed. A light glows in Trump’s other hand and light shines around the sick man’s head. An American flag waves in the background as a bald eagle flies overhead.
Shortly before Trump posted the image, he put out a long message on social media criticizing Pope Leo as “Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons.” Roughly one in five Americans identify as Catholic, and Trump’s clash with the first American pope could have political ramifications.
The image Trump posted of himself as a Jesus-like figure generated particularly strong pushback online, though.
Conservative activist Riley Gaines, a former collegiate swimmer who has campaigned against transgender women competing in women’s sports, said in a social media post that she couldn’t understand why Trump would post the image.
“A little humility would serve him well,” said Gaines, who attended a White House event where Trump signed an executive order on transgender sports participation last year, adding: “God shall not be mocked.”
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the image.
The conservative Catholic group CatholicVote.org, which was cofounded by Trump Ambassador to the Holy See Brian Burch, condemned the image as “blasphemous” and shared criticism of his statement about the Pope.
A Pew Research Center survey from earlier this year found that 69% of white evangelical protestants approve of Trump’s job performance. Evangelicals are some of his strongest supporters and have been a key part of his political coalition. The Jesus-like image touched a nerve with many religious conservatives, though.
Writer Megan Basham, a writer for the conservative Daily Wire media company and self-described “unabashed church lady” who wrote a book criticizing a “leftist agenda” among some Evangelical leaders, called the image “OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy.”
“He needs to take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God,” Basham said on social media.
Orthodox Christian and former GOP congressman Justin Amash said in a social media post the image was “sacrilegious.”
Michael Knowles, a conservative Catholic and podcaster for the Daily Wire, suggested the image could hurt Trump politically.
“I assume someone has already told him, but it behooves the President both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent,” Knowles wrote on social media.
Less than 24 hours after the image was posted it was removed from Trump's Truth Social account.
I posted the other day that his religious base has stayed with him more than other groups.
If he keeps screwing up and loses them, we are witnessing the start of Trump's götterdämmerung.

YEP ..HE REALLY JUST SAID THIS
Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?
TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

I better go put on my flowing white tunic with the huge red scarf like doctors wear. When I get to work I'll heal people by holding a glowing thing in my left hand as I touch their forehead and make it glow with rays of light bursting from their head.
You know, like doctors do.
Only fake news would think otherwise.
