Trump Posts Jesus-Like Picture of Himself Performing Miracle on Sick Man, Minutes After Ramping Up Feud With Pope Leo
Source: Mediaite
President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself seemingly in the role of Jesus Christ on Sunday night, complete with the robe-donning president reinvigorating a sick man with his healing hand while a nurse looked on and an American Eagle soared above.
The bizarre and some would probably argue sacrilegious post was made about 40 minutes after the president went off on Pope Leo XIV in a blistering social media rant. More on that below.
Trumps picture had a lot going on in it. Beyond the aforementioned details, a praying woman and a man wearing what looks to be some sort of ICE uniform look on pensively as Trump works his miracle.
The presidents hand is lit up in a holy manner, and behind him is the American flag and the Statue of Liberty; fighter jets and what appears to be soldiers who have become angels are also seen above Trump; an American soldier is also seen watching Trump as he cures the man in a hospital bed.

Iâm not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

(1,827 posts)I think they believe he is the second coming. They would drink the kool aid even if they knew it was spiked.
Those angered by it, likely already hated him. Im getting to the point where Im nearly numb. Sickened? Disgusted? Absolutely. Just knowing that theres no line he cant cross, and still has any support, will never let me look at this country the same way again.

(29,867 posts)That picture is wrong in so many ways. Horribly sacrilegious, which I don't much care about, but we now know he definitely thinks he's God. Mad as the proverbial Hatter.
This is beyond impeachment--its straight jacket time. Get him outta here!

He is a very sick man, and a dangerous one.

All in harmony, endlessly, in Trump's father's voice.
While the worms in his brain harmonize a background tune.
The picture sickens me, and I'm not religious.
the 25th says . . . Surely This is Enough? When Do I Get To Do My Job?

(1,203 posts)He almost killed me.
I am a lymphoma survivor.
I was first diagnosed in 1990; it returned in 2002 and 2019.
When, it returned in 2019, I had to go through five different treatments to find a successful one.
ACA provides me protection against lifetime limits.
ACA is a law Trump wanted to repeal in 2017 and still wants to repeal.
When it returned in 2019, it was near my spinal column.
I will not paint a picture of the suffering that I would have endured if Trump was successful in repealing ACA and there were no more lifetime limits.
Not to mention the thousands of lives lost due in part due to his COVID policies in his first term.

Also, millions this year will lose their insurance in this year alone due to GOP Senate not passing ACA subsidies, which Trump has said he may veto even if it passes.

(180,380 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?

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.
