Trump Shamed Into Deleting Jesus Post

Donald Trump has no shame, but somebody was persuaded to delete the blasphemous post you see above. Trump is “healing” a young man, presumably a soldier, while figures float in the air (angels?) and a supernatural light appears in Trump’s left hand. Washington Post:

President Donald Trump’s posting of a rendering that appeared to depict him as Jesus drew rare criticism from the religious right, prompting calls for him to take down the post and allegations of blasphemy.

Shortly after posting a screed against Pope Leo XIV on Sunday night as he returned to Washington from Florida, Trump shared an image that appeared to be AI-generated in the style of a painting, depicting him in a long white robe. In one hand was an orb glowing with light; Trump’s other hand rested on the forehead of a man in what resembled a hospital bed — light beaming from the man’s head as Trump appeared to pray for his healing. Patriotic symbols including an eagle, fireworks and the Statue of Liberty filled the frame.

Unlike the post criticizing Leo, whom Trump later said he didn’t like and is too “liberal,” the image evoking Jesus drew swift criticism from some evangelical Christians and conservative Catholics who have otherwise expressed near constant support for Trump’s decisions.

“I don’t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy,” wrote Megan Basham, a prominent conservative Protestant Christian writer and commentator. “But he needs to take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God.”

Trump took it down but expecting him to apologize to anybody, let alone God, is going a bit too far. He doesn’t have the character to do that.

  1. and what i presume you are calling the statue of liberty has been described as a demon. given the quality of the image i saw i couldn’t really tell buy it had projections or protuberances that are definitely not present on lady liberty.

  2. oops, that is the statue of liberty low down but there’s a figure above trump with projections like the rays of liberty’s crown that is something else.
