This message will get Trump to Hell
Trump, following his unprecedented denunciation of the Pope, posts an image portraying himself as Jesus Christ.

(12,406 posts)with the Vatican. I propose(fiction?) that a scheme cooked by the RCINO GOP elites went haywire. The Pope could grant Trump a plenary indulgence. For those unaware of this unfortunate program of Divine Mercy, the indulgences are based on the sufferings of the martyrs under the Roman Empire. It was meant as a merciful solidarity to the majority who chickened out, renounced the faith and vowed faith in the God Emperor forgiven by the brave. Over centuries it became something deceptively quantifiable(although that was clearly impossible and terribly misleading) and part of the Papal pardon power of the "Keys to the Kingdom" that could be obtained without any authority weighing in. Tetzel, well, his hawking of paper slip indulgences for sins not yet committed, helped launch the Reformation. A modern stockbroker transcendentally ahead of his time.
I think Trump really wanted that, the greatest theologian of all time and huckster that he is. Considering how many rosaries he would have to say just for a partial indulgence, he is spending way too much time on Truth Social with blasphemies.
Maybe he is killing all those victims to pump up the depleted indulgence, making himself both persecuting Emperor Antichrist and chief beneficiary. Even with simple delusional math, I hate to tell ya, this is a crashing mistake.
I did write a play months ago(Writing Forum) based on Ubu Roi and the Faust legend offering Trump a fantastic, never seen before way to Heaven- ending up in the Vatican. As crazy as it was, the ravings of the real Trump get worse and far beyond what I had imagined- except that Trump consistently denies himself all real hope. A bulldozer down to Hades.
