On Orthodox Easter, President Trump attacked the Pope because the Pope is rightly against Trumps war in Iran and then he posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus.
This comes after last weeks post of his evil tirade on Easter and then threatening to kill an entire civilization.
I completely denounce this and Im praying against it!!!

However, these people are not 'Christians'. They are opportunists who discovered that some people are completely delusional when it comes to religion.
They know that they can make money off of them. They know they can convince them to do just about anything.
Being predatory is not what I remember reading about in the Bible. (Other than the whole 'spreading the word' thing. That behavior got rather predatory at times, in my opinion.)

(23,581 posts)I don't want to give Vance TOO MUCH CREDIT, but I'll go out on a limb and say...whether he'd ever be willing to admit it in public or not...he knows this is "wrong."
Even if that admission only goes so far as knowing it isn't playing well in Trump's base. Even if it's only crass opportunism. But I think that, "in private," Vance probably saw it and went "Oh HELL no."

(12,709 posts)I Iive in a MAGA wonderland in deep rural East Tennessee. The people in my exercise class were talking about the shooting before the election. This one woman said that Trump got injured for us just like Jesus Christ was killed for us...
I couldn't believe it. Up to that point, I thought she was smart.
I bet she's not saying that now
I say that because so many of the MAGA around here are now talking trash about pedo Trump. More and more of them think he's crazy. His base is dwindling. They say the would vote for a Democrat IF the Dems would put up a real liberal candidate. They really hate corporate Dems much more than they hate corporate Republicans.

Suits me fine.

(1,032 posts)MAGA wonderland is a good description... His support from those that were merely MAGA-curious has cratered amid the skyrocketing gas prices, Epstein coverup, and a new war in the Middle East, but man those original MAGAlytes are a whole other level of brainwashed and stupid. Stupid enough to be clamoring for an apocalyptical ending to the "war" in order to usher in the second coming. How do you do anything with that?
But hey, we aren't Kentucky or West Virginia--am I right?

Grandpa needs to be locked up in Assisted Living.
Medicated Heavily and in a Locked Unit.
He is delusional and it was NEVER Funny.
Not that Jesus would even care, that Grandpa is delusional.
But Stiking him down - leaving nothing but smoking ankle bones sticking out of his FLORSHIEM Shoes would be emotionally satisfiying at this point.
For some one who has never read the Bible or demonstrated even one personality trait similar to Jesus; THIS PICTURE says more about DJT than any comment on religion. Grandpa should be hit with the 25th ammendment for Delusional Behavior.
He is trying to own the Libs. He is just revealing a totally DEMONIC personality disorder.
I call for an exorsist. .
For the Love of God, will some one rid us of this Stain on America?

(180,452 posts)The presidents offensive against the pope, followed by the image presenting himself as some kind of American Jesus, represented quite the one-two punch.
I get that many will find Trumpâs offensive against the pope as predictable â this is just what he does â but compare how he lashed out at Pope Francis in 2016 to how he targeted Pope Leo XIV yesterday.

And then add in the mind-numbing American Jesus image.

In a 330-word tirade published on Sunday night to his social media platform, Trump wrote, among other things:
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesnt! Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. Its hurting him very badly and, more importantly, its hurting the Catholic Church!
.....Soon after, during a brief Q&A with reporters, Trump was asked why he attacked the pope. Instead of challenging the premise, the Republican replied, I dont think hes doing a very good job. He likes crime, I guess. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo?
— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2026-04-13T01:33:12.402Z
Trump: I donât think heâs doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We donât like a pope who says itâs ok to have a nuclear weapon. We donât want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.
.....To be sure, none of this was too surprising. Leo, for example, recently chastised those who invoke God as supportive of military might, saying in a homily on Palm Sunday, Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them....
The question was less about whether Team Trump, which has spent months clashing with the faith community, would go after the Catholic leader, and more about how. We now have an answer.
On Monday morning, aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria, the churchs first-ever American pope told The Associated Press, I have no fear of the Trump administration.....
For good measure, this back-and-forth was not the Republicans only message related to religion.
And Trump posted an image of himself as some sort of American Jesus healing people.

On Sunday night, Trump apparently thought it would also be a good idea to promote an image that appeared to present him as some kind of American Jesus.
There is behavior thats so self-evidently deranged that merely seeing it should lead to fury and disgust, The New York Times David French wrote in response. Im concerned, however, that some evangelicals are so influenced by Trump that they wont unite with their Catholic brothers and sisters in response to Trumps blasphemy and intolerable attacks on the pope, but will instead turn against them.
trump is truly crazy.

(5,397 posts)Therefore I will leave what happens to him in the world to come up to God. To my earthly understanding, however, with this latest stunt he has now likely violated all ten commandments.
Also if I am remembering my religious education correctly there is a reason not putting false gods or idols before the true God, is #1 on the no-no list!

(180,452 posts)No one is surprised that trump took down the image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure
After facing a wave of backlash from critics and supporters alike, President Donald Trump appeared to have deleted a social media post that featured an image depicting him as a Jesus Christ-like figure â prompting ridicule from onlookers.

Thou shalt always TACO Trump 3:16, quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.....
Later on Monday morning, however, Trump or his staffers appeared to have deleted the social media post, prompting some to take further digs at the president, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Now delete your presidency, Newsom wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 3 million followers.
