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…

Quote:
"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'."

What is wrong with these religious nuts? What a crime it would have been to be deprived of Trump's hubric and Hugh's satire. We would never have been able to enjoy these works of art had Trump been sane!

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.

What’s not to denigrate? Ponzi comes to mind.

I've got to the stage where I preferred it when America was yet to be discovered.
Nothing but trouble ever since :D

Sorry, you’ve confused me - a Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors; how is the Pope and/or the Roman Catholic Church like that?

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.

I wouldn't worry about it Hugh, if it's what I think it is it's an old, a baseless slur based on diocese donations, it's ignorant and best ignored imho

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.

You would be mistaken - I was confused, and as a (lapsed) Catholic, I had never heard of the RC Church (or indeed any religion) described this way before…
