While listening to news radio in the shower, I heard DJT say

[MIButterfly]

something to the effect that he didn't intend to depict himself as Jesus, he thought he was depicting himself as a doctor and the nurse was a Red Cross nurse.

Either way, he's out of his effing mind. Why is that not obvious to every single person in this country? Every single day is a double dose of WTF. It's so tiresome (and frightening) to me.

Edited to add: In BumRushDaShow's post in Latest Breaking News, response no. 22 from muriel_volestrangler has DJT's exact quote.

1. In an earlier post, I compared Trump-As-Jesus to an alternative interpretation:

Reiki, whereby the "laying on of hands" has healing powers.

But upon reconsideration, nah . . . . . .

And BTW, my father was a doctor. Trump is decidedly not practicing medicine according to the standards of the AMA.

2. The image he posted was not the original. He posted an altered version.

It defies belief that he (or someone) altered the image, replacing a US soldier with a flying demon, and did not know what the image was.

This was not an inadvertent error. This was not an innocent mistake. Someone planned this out, presumably showed it to him, and he was delighted enough that he posted it himself.

3. That miserable piece of trash has a god complex, how pathetic.

4. So his excuse is "I'm not sacrilegious, I'm a moron"?

5. Odd, the last time I was at the hospital I didn't see one doctor dressed up like Jesus.

6. Do his tiny hands really glow like that? Maybe, praise be to Trump...my gag reflex just kicked in....aaagh...

7. It is the Topic of the Day - so from TSF's perspective: Success

8. That dumbass couldn't be a doctor any more than being Jesus. nt

9. My guess is that Stephen Miller told him to post it, or maybe Miller posted it in Chump's name

... but neither one of them even looked at the photo. They just post any old garbage on Truth Social and assume that only the bots are looking at it anyway.

10. Practicing medicine without a license? ;)

States issue medical licenses, not the Federal government.
He can't do an executive order to issue one to himself.

11. we all know he's full of shit. his swiss cheese brain knew exactly what it was doing. nt

12. The shower is absolutely the LAST place I'd want to hear trump's voice!

[MIButterfly]

13. LOL! I try to avoid ever looking at DJT or hearing his annoying voice,

but sometimes it just sneaks up on me. I've been listening to news radio in the shower for years, especially when I was working. I always liked hearing the latest news, traffic and weather every morning. After I moved closer to the office, I wasn't so concerned with the traffic any more. Now that I'm retired, I still listen to the news channel, but only in the shower. I guess old habits die hard.

And yes, hearing his stupid voice while I was trapped in the shower was a horrible experience. 😫
