I don't find this funny, I find it terrifying. We know he's a narcissist but I'm wondering if ge sees himself as a deity. He did this cos he thought he'd get away with it. Does he think he inspires religious fervour?
Narcissism often comes with an aspect of omnipotence, this idea that they must know all there is to know because the idea that something might be outside their sphere of knowledge would make them imperfect and since they believe they are perfect beyond reproach it would be impossible for it to be true. They really do believe they know everything and if you say otherwise it’s because you’re stupid and wrong.
All narcissists believe they are a deity in the sense their world view is what they believe to be omnipotent which is a trait only a deity could have.
Come down Get off your fucking cross We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr
To ascend you must die You must be crucified For our sins and our lies Goodbye
I love when I see my favorite band in the wild.


trump deleted a post? on his own platform?
ok, that is news
We saw what he'll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he's not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.
oh, I forgot about that-- ~~it was a long time ago.~~ edit: sorry, the past few months have felt like a decade!
still:
- that was twitter (not even X yet), not his own platform
- he was much more adroit then. he's much more old grandpa crazy now
- he won't say he's sorry, he'll double-down, if he acknowledges it at all
- if he goes the double-down route, which is possible because I don't think this Pope-fight bullshit is going away (yay!), who knows what downhill direction the diarrhea will run
- he won't say he's sorry, he'll double-down, if he acknowledges it at all
- this Pope-fight isn't just affecting Trump, now his "Christian" base is getting involved, and not on Trump's side
so, this is gonna be fun to watch
edit: 15:37 ET (UTC -05:00)
ok, so, it has been fun to watch! His response...
so, he admits to posting it because he claims he thought he "looked like a doctor healing people" which either makes him seem to be the biggest liar ever or the most completely bonkers person ever, and, really, it's not an either/or situation anymore but a matter of "which is more the case" at this point.
more to come...
here's the more accurate version
Ghislaine praying instead of preying
I have been looking at r/conservative on and off over the years. The Jesus backlash is the first time where every single comment was calling Trump out for his bull shit.
Fuck it took a long time but maybe many of them finally see it.
Calling him out for this bullshit. His other bullshit they're still OK with.
Mostly yes but there were a few comments like “ugh why did he do something stupid again” so mostly you’re right, but there are cracks. And in the last 10 years, it’s the second time we’ve seen any cracks. (Epstein files was the 1st thing they started calling him out on)
When those cracks start to form, I’m coming through with my seeds of empathy and compassion so they can learn to stop beng dickheads. I’m gonna grow empathy trees in those cracks that destroy the foundation.
(Unrelated but the floor in our garage cracked a plant started to grow in the middle. Can you tell? Also I’m rewatching The Good Place)
The insane thing is that he says he thought the image was of him as a doctor.
Your doctor doesn’t wear flowing robes and wield a holy light? Shit, maybe I need to find a new doctor.
So... he's trying the put powerful direct sunlight into the body to cure covid? Is there a syringe of bleach in the back pocket of the tourniquet.

Y'all, he backtracked. That's big.
It's not Tuesday, but we got TACO!
I moved to New Zealand at the first of the year, so for me it's right on time.
His bullshit excuse if "I was thinking about the red cross and healing people".
As if the AI/intern had mixed up the red cross with the cross of crucifiction and for some reason no one noticed that he appeared as Jesus healing the sick.
I just wanted someone in that press conference to shout "bullshit" really loud.
And let's say we believe him... What the fuck is he doing larping as a medical practitioner anyway? That's just straight disrespectful.
Remember the reporter (for the WaPo, I think) that was caught on camera reacting to one of the more insane things that Trump or his administration said in the White House briefing room during his first term? She became a brief, minor celebrity.
Putting aside all the horrible stuff this guy has done and using a Bible as a prop and holding it upside down is okay but this picture is apparently one step too far.
His administration shouldn’t be able to delete any post, right? Per record preservation.
- Even the first time in office he'd rip stuff up, try and flush it down toilets, and even eat it. 2) There's a lot of stuff his administration shouldn't be able to do, so long as Rs are majority and Dems lack a spine it doesn't matter.
He deleted it. By MAGAt believes that means he never posted it. All is right again in stupidland.
My father-in-law already said the whole thing was "fake".
Let's start a game where we try to guess what AI shit this turd will post next. I'm betting on something with all NATO leaders crying for help with him as a savior or some shit.
"Big, STRONG leaders. They came up to me, with TEARS in their eyes, begging me to help them with the straight of Hormuz..."
Yep, checks out.
Let's play another game. I post a headline and you have to guess if it is real or made up.
Is it Taco Tuesday already?
Breaking the law several times?
Kidnapping another country's president?
Deporting every single non-white person they find?
Bombing a school full of children?
That's all fine and well, but god forsake he touches our shitty imaginary friend, THERE we draw the line!!
MAGAts don't deserve a place in society.

"How did they come up with that? It was me as a doctor..." - Trump
Dude spent like two minutes in college.
He posted it on Easter for the eastern half of Christianity.
This wasn't an accident. He's just a fucking liar and too big a pussy to ever admit a mistake.
Also, this was right after him criticizing the pope. So yeah, definitely, totally about doctors and shit, yup.
I can't wait to hear how fucking Mike Johnson defends this shit
He hasn't heard about it
Never heard of "The President", what's that?
Coward.
We all have the screenshots. This changes nothing. Here's the URL for posterity's sake:
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116394884725149647
And to all MAGA Christians upset by his post: Give me a fucking break.
It wasn't the child rape and murder but the picture of your fairy tale that was over the line? Yeah right. He's been blasphemous since day one, and supporting him was a conscious choice by Christians. They can serve only God or Trump, and they chose Trump.
It doesn't matter what he deletes, it doesn't matter what they think about him now - they are blasphemers by their own religion.
