Republican Lawmaker Says Trump 'Almost A Second Coming' Of Jesus [View all]

A Republican lawmaker on Friday referred to President Donald Trump as ‘almost a second coming’ of Christ as the Trump administration finds itself embroiled in religious scandal amid an ongoing feud with the pope and the posting of AI generated photos that have been slammed as “blasphemous.

Key Facts
Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas), who has been hailed by Trump as a "reliable MAGA ally," on Thursday told reporters that he thinks Trump "is better than sliced bread," adding, "I think he’s almost a second coming, in my humble opinion."

Earlier this week Trump shared an AI-generated photo of himself being embraced by Jesus alongside a caption, written by another account, that said “with all these satanic , demonic , child sacrificing monsters being exposed ... that God might be playing his Trump card !"

Nehls went on to say Trump has “the toughest job in the world,” specifically comparing his to the “tough job” of that of Pope Leo XIV.Trump and Pope Leo have been feuding, since the religious leader called Trump’s Easter Day threats against the Iranian people “unacceptable” and called for peace.
