I laughed too. The absurdity of it. I believe he knows exactly what he's doing. I imagine him turning to his son and saying: "Watch the lefties lose it now" with a chuckle. A couple of minutes later he would hardly have given it another thought while it made the rounds on substacks and podcasts and outraged lefties losing sleep over it.

Lefties are always in the bag. It's when his own "supporters" fail at mirth and tip over in outrage that he has to pull it down with a sigh. Trump doesn't take himself too seriously.

That's something others can learn to do, too.

“Trump doesn’t take himself too seriously”? Lame fantasy, out of touch with reality, crystalline denial and rationalization (major features of Trump Delusional/Dead-ender Syndrome). Trump is a quintessential narcissist - a malignant narcissist, who has proven over and over that he cares only about his image. And you say “pull it down”? Do you actually think that the Democrats will not use this sort of thing to damage MAGA/MIGA in the future? Are you really that brain dead?

You must think that offending 1.4 billion Catholics (many of whom are quite right wing) is some brilliant chess move by a master performer playing the role of an unstable malignant narcissist psychopath starting a war of aggression on false pretenses at the behest of a demonic Zionist and Secretary HairGel, unconcerned by the death of 160+ children on the opening day of his performance. Brilliant…

I'm a practicing Catholic, as is Trump's wife. It doesn't mean I've lost my sense of humour. The Catholic vote was probably what got Trump over the line, and he was very aware of that and acknowledged it. He's not doing this to antagonise Catholics.

Daniel Wirt's avatar

This goes way past “humour”. Trump is stupid if he thinks that this bulldust won’t hurt him with his base among Catholics. This is just a continuation of Trump’s political suicide.

Jesus Christ was the Son of God, not a Hellenistic philosopher, John. The foundation for His life is found in the Old Testament, not in the musings of the Greeks.

Brad Parsons's avatar

Exactly. John got his history wrong on that one. Totally missed the part where Jesus traveled to India and Nepal in his 20's and actually has a closer connection to buddhism as Saint Issa than to Greek mythology.

You’re talking about one of the world’s greatest fantasy novels, right, Kerber?

I literally "laughed out loud" when I first saw the Trump the Messiah meme. What isn't humorous is that many nutty people truly believe that image.

Is it any wonder that he mocks and looks down on Christ and considers himself to be better than Christ? Purporting to be a Christian is handy for winning elections. However, there's not a lot of evidence that POTUS Trump spent very much time in a Christian church other than for weddings etc during his almost 80 years. I suspect he has spent a lot more time in Synagogues. He admits to studying Kabbalah, which was under a Rabbi.

Although he has circulated graven images of himself for those such as you to worship, what AI generated images of himself as the Prophet Mohammed has he circulated?

Can you explain why he mocks Christ but has never mocked the Prophet Mohammed?

Phil Davis's avatar

I can't. There's a lot about Trump that is a mystery. He promised a lot of things, only to break them later. I saw him as a speed bump to the other side's insanity; alas, we have a new insanity now in Trump.

“ The icon of Donald the Healer and Light-Bringer is fascinating in its Warholian irreverence for history, culture, reason, philosophy, art, literature, and religion. It is a sublime Magnum opus insaniae (Masterpiece of Insanity).

It is a testament to great healing power of laughter that viewing it, in some ineffable way, softened my heart for him. There is something undeniably splendid about being the greatest weirdo in history.‘

The “greatest weirdo in history” is an unstable malignant narcissist psychopath with access to the nuclear codes.

It appears that the image behind and above Trump's head is Baal or Moloch.

To a person like me who has followed US politics and world events keenly from a distance for years, DJT is a pain in the soul and also one big joke of our time at the same time.. ( from Johannesburg)

I can only imagine that his handlers put him up to this insulting photo because not only is Trump blackmailed, compromised and controlled by Israel, but he also converted to Judaism in 2017.

The most likely explanation is not simply that this rude delusional geriatric 80-year-old did this because he thought it was funny, but rather his Jewish handlers instructed him to insult Christianity as a part of a humiliation ritual for all American Christians, and also to demonstrate his subservience.

Remember, Trump would not put his hand on the Bible when he was sworn in during his second term.

The person laying in the bed appears to be Jon Stewart...Jon Stewart dives into the backlash over Trump Jesus-ifying himself with AI, the president claiming he was just depicting himself as a “doctor” (treating a bedridden Jon Stewart?), and Trump starting an Easter beef with Pope Leo.

Although some physicians have massive egos, even they usually wear white coats rather than robes typically attributed to Jesus.

This is damn funny. Urgent care!

Trump meme’d a little too close to the sun and got burned. After attacking Pope Leo, Trump topped off his tirade by sharing an AI-generated photo depicting him as Jesus Christ healing the sick. It went down like a lead balloon on Truth Social, where his own supporters accused him of blasphemy and called him the anti-Christ. Backlash was so severe he deleted the post altogether. In this video we’ll talk about why Trump crossed a red line for fundamentalist evangelicals and explain how he’s not just a phony when it comes to his supposed Christian values, but worker rights as well.

Trump has pissed off his beloved Evangelicals as well.

Great history/philosophy write up - finished off with great humour! Thank you John Leake!

Excellent John. Socrates has always been my favorite. Don't forget the Horned Baal over Trump's head and remember Epstein had a company he named Baal and Baal is a "god" of child sacrifice.

The image should be entitled the delusions of hubris.

"It is a testament to great healing power of laughter that viewing it, in some ineffable way, softened my heart for him. There is something undeniably splendid about being the greatest weirdo in history."

Maybe you are starting to see the light, John? You take yourself too seriously. No need to continue trying to impressing the British.

I’m no fan of Perfidious Albion, but this PrometheanBulldust is irrelevant.
