Trump post appearing to depict him as Jesus removed amid backlash


Before the post was deleted, Evangelical and Catholic allies called the image blasphemous in a rare public break from a base that has largely stood by Trump.

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


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.”

Apparently, it’s Fake News…

"Trump said Monday he posted the image but insisted it was meant to depict him as a doctor, dismissing suggestions it portrayed him as Jesus Christ as a fabrication by 'fake news'."

The US religious right forms one of the MAGA strands and they're quite sensitive to this type of thing. One of Trump's many self-defeating posts. :dunce:

Yes, clearly someone’s managed to get through to him and convince him this was an especially stupid piece of social media trolling, even by his low standards. The casual, implausible lie by way of explanation is a classic of the genre. It’s brazen, and contemptuous of his voter base who, you have to assume, are the only ones they can expect to be fooled by it.

I doubt that I've confused you! I suppose you're trying to be literal about the meaning of a Ponzi scheme.

In this case, the Pope (and/or his predecessors) is/are the "first investor" and the subscribing flock are the existing/renewable flock. Then there is whatever the Catholic church invests in so as to grow its riches.

Generally, peops know what I mean.

The CoE is another such Ponzi scheme - perhaps even more so.

Keeping to religion, this is my funniest MAGA moment of the week!
Quote:
Pete Hegseth quotes Samuel L. Jackson’s fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction during sermon

A prayer delivered by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth appeared to paraphrase a speech from the cult class movie Pulp Fiction, rather than scripture.

Viewers watching Hegseth’s sermon during a Pentagon worship service on Wednesday were left scratching their heads and questioning whether he had just quoted Samuel L. Jackson’s famous monologue.

While discussing the Sandy 1 rescue mission, which brought back downed pilots stranded in Iran earlier this month, Hegseth urged his audience to join him in a prayer that he said was delivered at the start of the mission.

Hegseth said the prayer, “CSAR 25:17,” which stands for “Combat Search and Rescue,” is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17. He then urged his audience to pray with him.

Instead of the scripture Hegseth mentioned, his prayer appears to mirror the fictional Ezekiel 25:17 that Samuel L Jackson’s character, Jules Winnfield, delivered before killing a character in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

No, I think he’s just assumed that English words have a natural meaning and that you wouldn’t be daft enough to invent different definitions that only you know anything about.

A Ponzi scheme is a Ponzi scheme. The word means what it means. Your only get-out here is to claim you were using it as a metaphor but in that case, the thing you’re referring to has still got to be demonstrably similar in some way or else the metaphor doesn’t work.

Thus far, it doesn’t work.

Re: President Trump 2.0
 
And now he wants to bring back firing squads. Okay, why? Lethal injection is far more dignified, painless and certain. Dead is dead - he might as well bring back hanging. Or the electric chair. Or crucifixion (wouldn't that bother Leo!). Or burning at the stake. Or tossing offenders out of the new (illegally-obtained, or at least unconstitutionally) Air Force One.

He's leaving a right old mess for his successor to sort out (assuming there will be one, if he doesn't pull a coup and become the dictator he obviously wants to be).

Plus he tried to nuke Iran. If they don't have nukes yet, they're likely to develop them - and use them - out of fear. Precedent: the Manhattan Project. It was driven, though they don't want to admit this, by fear of the Axis powers. In fact Germany wasn't as far along in its research as they feared.

Did he ever see Threads? Or The Day After? Or By Dawn's Early Light, even?

Broadwave to all would-be warmongers (got a bit of a Firefly fixation goin' on ATM): no-one wins even a conventional war. BUT NO-ONE CAN WIN A NUCLEAR WAR! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Had labour door stepper ( strong English accent ) to day, said labour will sort out the health service, clearly has no idea what's happening here, there have been in charge for something like 26 years.

Re his inane wibbling on social media …. No building that allows visitors not subject to maximum security vetting is the ‘most secure building in the world.’ Granted the White House is pretty secure, but … no. ‘Most secure’ is a bunker somewhere in North Korea. In fact every building in the top 50 most secure buildings in the world will be places civilians scarcely know exist, much less get to visit.

Trump’s vanity ballroom is that, and no more. His ego in white marble, an attempt to secure a legacy for his presidency he’ll never achieve due to, you know, actually being president. Because he’s not very good at that at all.

Probably having his character assasinated by the MC - which would be justified.

That's my thinking, I don't really buy the big conspiracy that they set it up, I could buy that they knew an attempt was going to be made and took more than ample efforts to thwart it

Yes, I think whatever conspiracy exists is more likely making best use of circumstances rather than creating them from scratch, which would require some actual creativity.

$100 -> $600 is a 500% rise as it already cost $100, so the rise is $500. (A 100% rise is doubling the price.)

:rofl: they are like small, spoilt, bratty children, when it happened I thought, if they're smart they'll start ramping up the rhetoric to cancel the midterms but no, its all about that poxy ballroom, no mention of banning guns, they'd rather ban Jimmy Kimmel because he said mean things about the exalted one

I think your exactly right Chris!!

I cant believe they had all 3 important people in there at the same time..... What do ya think would happen if they staged an event and everyone was killed there and they made it look like Iran did it.... Most ppl in this country are so stuipid they would believe it!

Yes a major false flag in the making to help get support for this immoral war!!

It’s like nobody in the administration saw Designated Survivor. Or maybe they all did and thought they could play on the fear of Kiefer Sutherland taking over the country. :D

King Charles speech at capitol hill some home truths? The acts of war are felt in his own homeland, we stand together today like we did after 911.

But less of that, Trump said his mum fancied cute young Prince Charles, big ears :D

Unfortunate timing for the King (and likely timed for that reason). I would probably add Russia to the short list of special relationships.

Quote:
America’s special relationship is ‘probably Israel’, says UK ambassador to US

In leaked remarks, Christian Turner also says it is ‘extraordinary’ that Epstein scandal has not affected sex offender’s US associates

Britain’s ambassador to Washington has said that America’s only “special relationship” is “probably Israel”, not the UK, in remarks that risk embarrassing King Charles during his visit to the US this week.

Sir Christian Turner also criticised America’s political system for failing to hold US associates of the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to account, saying it was “extraordinary” that the scandal “hasn’t touched anybody” in the US.

He noted that, by contrast, senior British figures, including his predecessor as ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson and “potentially the prime minister”, had been “brought down” by the affair.

A recording of the remarks, made in mid-February at an event with UK students visiting Washington, shortly after Turner started in post, was shared with the FT this week.

In comments that are outspoken for a senior diplomat, he said UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had been “on the ropes” earlier this year from the fallout over the appointment of Mandelson, and that the Labour Party could “remove” him after local elections in May...

A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: “These were private, informal comments made to a group of UK sixth-form students visiting the US in early February. They are certainly not any reflection of the UK government’s position.”

Isn’t it amazing that the 4th Estate now try to make the news, rather than just report it…

They’ve had this information since February, but wait till now to use it.

The (real) King made a couple of good jokes yesterday - I liked this one…

Quote:
"You recently commented, Mr President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German.

Dare I say that, if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French…!"

Indeed but what control did they have? The owner of the recording could have given them a deadline to publish it by or they would share it with other media.

Just when you think, surely they can’t debase American sensibilities any more; they surprise you.

According to the weather forecast, thunderstorms are due over Washington just in time for his demeaning debacle.

According to your preference, either God or Mother Nature has a great sense of timing. :D
