The White House appeared to delete video footage online from an Easter event where President Donald Trump mused about being king, insulted European leaders, encouraged Charlie Kirks widow to sue her critics and was compared to Jesus by his spiritual adviser. A video of the event was initially posted on the official White House website and YouTube channel, but it has since been removed from public view. A thumbnail of the video remained on the site as of Thursday.
Paula White‑Cain, a televangelist who has served as Trumps spiritual adviser across both his presidencies, was blasted for comparing the billionaire president's life to that of Jesus Christs during the Easter lunch event Wednesday at the White House.
Mr. President, no one has paid the price like you have paid the price. It almost cost you your life, Cain said of Trump in her remarks. You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. Its a familiar pattern that our Lord and savior showed us. But it didnt end there for him, and it didnt end there for you, she said.
The lunch was closed to the press, but attendees included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Erika Kirk, the widow of the slain right-wing activist, according to a pool report.

(364 posts)totally appalled that Jonathan Cain actually married that whack-a-doodle. Journey was my favorite band when I was about 12 and my first concert without my parents was their performance at the Oakland Coliseum on the "Escape" tour. He has brought shame upon their legacy.

I can't get a ballroom approved, he grumbled about an unfavorable ruling that came down this week about his $400 million project. It's pretty amazing, right? If I was a king, we'd be doing a lot more. I'm doing a lot, but I could be doing a lot more if I was a king.
The president also urged Erika Kirk to sue after she was mocked last week by controversial social media comedian Druski.

So Jesus kept and filed a set of false records so as to hide his payments to a sex worker?

(45,430 posts)Maybe Trump would rather be a god than a king. He certainly seems like the type who would want somebody to worship him and his Maga cult does and he would be even more insane if he started thinking himself in these terms.
