Trump got in trouble recently for depicting himself as Jesus Christ. Following a considerable backlash from his Christian supporters, Trump had to delete the image and said it was supposed to be him as a doctor – a claim which made zero sense.

Now, Trump is once again flirting with controversy by posting the following:

Trump is 6ft 3in, by the way, so that Jesus must be 6ft 7in at least.

Oh, and although it looks like Jesus is giving Trump a ‘hand’, that’s actually just how the picture was cropped.

And no, we can’t explain the expression on Trump’s face.

Trump has a go at “Radical Left Lunatics”

This was how Trump captioned the post:

Trump is suggesting it’s the “Radical Left Lunatics” who have taken offence. As we reported, however, it was Trump’s Christian base who really took offence to his obviously blasphemous post. And as Forbes added:

The post sparked instant backlash, largely from conservative Christian factions of Trump’s base, including prominent conservative Christian journalist Megan Basham who called it “OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy” and political commentator Cam Higby who said he spends “8 hours a day” defending Trump but “will not defend blasphemy.”

Trump would later claim he was supposed to be a “doctor” in his now-deleted post:

President Trump claims the viral image that was posted on Truth was not a depiction of him as Jesus Christ but was him being depicted as a doctor.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

Trump: I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor… pic.twitter.com/4pfSRFPdrp

This made zero sense, because doctors don’t dress as Jesus Christ:

Since then, the following theory has emerged:

oh my god. was trump told to tell the press that the image was “doctored,” but misunderstood and told everyone that he was depicted as a “doctor”? https://t.co/IHr3y5myha

The religious roundup

In other news, war secretary (and supposed Christian) Pete Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction because he’s never read an actual Bible:

Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, meanwhile, fell out with Trump as a result of him attacking the Pope:

Meloni has just disavowed Trump

“Trump’s statement is unacceptable”

“I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a society in which religious leaders do what political leaders say.”

Trump fired back with the classic ‘I know you are but what am I‘ – a classic line from Pete Hegseth’s Bible:

As the Guardianreported, Trump has since said:

“If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican,” Trump claimed, adding: “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. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church!”

It’s unclear why Trump thinks Leo owes his papacy to Trump; possibly because both men are American?

Does Trump think the Catholics were so impressed with Trump that they had to promote a Yank of their own?

Hmm – that does sound like the sort of thing he’d think, actually.

This is the Pope’s latest message anyway:

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

End of days

The Guardian also noted:

In his subsequent comments to reporters, Trump remained highly critical, saying: “I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess,” adding: “He’s a very liberal person.”

The reference to ‘liking crime’ shows how much Trump has degenerated.

Going tough on crime and punishment has always been a Republican talking point, but you can’t just level the argument against anyone. Accusing the Pope of loving crime because he opposed America’s illegal war on Iran makes zero sense to anyone besides Trump himself.

At this point, we’re just praying giant AI Jesus shows up to save us all.
