This isn’t going to be an actual column, as such, but the comments and GIF you are going to see will make it worthwhile. I assume everyone knows about the devil floating in the sky in the picture already. That added another layer of weirdness to the whole Donald Christ idea. I could not believe it when I read it. Took me a couple of tries to really get it into my head. Gratitude to Raw Story:
“It wasn’t a depiction,” Trump said, standing beside a DoorDash driver outside the Oval Office. “I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one.”
*snort* yeah right. The Fake News came up with an image that Trump posted. Try again. That line isn’t working. But since he took it down (too late because that image was grabbed all over the place), we can’t take a harder look. It’s the best AI I’ve seen.
The post had triggered outrage from many of Trump’s supporters, several of whom considered it “blasphemous.” Many social media users suggested his explanation raised more questions than it answered.
Now for the fun part!
“His lying powers have sharply declined,” noted writer Bruce Wilson. //// “He’s counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don’t have healthcare,” supposed menswear writer Derek Guy stated. //// “My favorite part of going to the doctor is when he touches my forehead, holding the glowing orb of light,” added journalist Laura Bassett. //// “I’m not entirely sure if someone that can’t differentiate a doctor from Jesus Christ should be President,” reckoned X user Eksara. //// “Confusing Jesus Christ with the Red Cross is even more justification to invoke the 25th Amendment,” agreed blogger Oliver Willis.
I love the comments we get through RS. Some are serious, mixed with some that are funny. This was I don’t miss out on anything on Xitter and BlueSky that is worth seeing. A bunch of people are seeing Trump for what he is *now* instead of how he *was*.
“Does this look like Trump as a doctor?” wondered Reuters reporter Michael Derby, showing the original image. //// “Depicting Trump as a doctor is equally deranged,” offered writer Elon Green. //// “To quote Bill Murray in ‘Tootsie’: ‘That is one NUTTY hospital,'” said CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla. //// “Ahhh yes, The Red Cross,” noted BlueSky user Dee Phunk. “Famously known for their glowing hands and their ability to heal people by laying hands on them.” //// “Tell me you don’t know anything about doctors, the Red Cross, or Jesus without telling me,” added historian Thomas Beck.
Now for a little bit more fun, see below. It sent me into hysterical laughter, so I hope you laugh, too!

See you soon!
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of elderly, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Thank you for the GIF. Fun to watch.
I *howled* when my husband showed me that so I had to find a way to use it 😉
