President Donald Trump is facing pushback from his base for a bizarre post in which he depicted himself as Jesus Christ. The president shared the image to Truth Social shortly after melting down in a lengthy rant aimed at Pope Leo XIV, lashing out at the Chicago-born pontiff for criticizing several of the president’s policies. “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!” the 79-year-old wrote.

He posted the AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ less than an hour later. In the image, he appears to be healing a man in a hospital bed while surrounded by American imagery like the U.S. flag, bald eagles, and several monuments. The image was not received well by much of the president’s base, including several prominent allies.

Former MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who left Congress in January and has criticized the president for his administration’s handling of the Epstein files and his foreign policy, condemned the image in multiple posts across her two X accounts. “I completely denounce this and I’m praying against it!!!” she wrote on one account, noting that the president had shared the image on Orthodox Easter. “It’s more than blasphemy,” she added on a second account. “It’s an Antichrist spirit.”

Far-right influencer Milo Yiannopoulos also criticized the post, writing, “We tolerated this kind of meme against our better judgment because he promised to save America and only when it was clear he didn’t actually think he was the Messiah.” He went on to blame Paula White, the televangelist who serves as senior adviser to the White House Faith Office, for her influence on the president. “Pray for his soul. Pray for us all,” he added.

When you lose Milo Yiannopoulos (and Fuentes and many others), you NOW KNOW where the new bottom has been set.

1. Trump has completely lost his mind...

Trump Cosplaying as Christ

[EYESORE 9001]

3. He's raising Jeffrey Epstein from the dead?

[sop]

8. Maybe he wants to resurrect Epstein and have him say "Trump did nothing wrong," like Maxwel.

[durablend]

21. Yeah he wakes up just to say

"TOTALLY EXONERATED!!!!!"

[ms liberty]

10. That, or it's that guy with the teeth from the trivago commercials

[634-5789]

25. YEAH!

What the hell is wrong with denture boy?

[Kid Berwyn]

29. Get in the choppers!

[Blue Owl]

45. He didn't check Mar a Lago?

[William Seger]

31. He's the anti-Christ -- he's suiciding Epstein (nt)

[wnylib]

13. Psychotic

[Ray Bruns]

20. You notice the hands are too big.

[William Seger]

26. ... and way too much hair -- can't see his scalp. (nt)

[mwmisses4289]

41. And too skinny!

[Trueblue Texan]

2. This is so far beyond creepy...

If MAGAts don't get it now, they must be braindead.

[Ray Bruns]

4. I wouldn't worry about it. They will be back kissing his ass in a week.

[orangecrush]

16. Doesn't look like it

Not from where I sit

[Ray Bruns]

22. I said in a week. MAGA's are a little slow.

[Ray Bruns]

5. It's funny that the people who have been warning us about the Antichrist for the past two thousand years

Are the first ones to worship him when he shows up.

[Lovie777]

7. +10...........................

yep.

These same people love to call their opposition demons, anti-christ, abominations.

And all along, magas were worshiping shithole.

[tanyev]

17. EX.ACT.LY.

[Goonch]

6. ;-{).....

[Ray Bruns]

23. The hands are still too big.

[johnnyfins]

9. So he rips into the Pope for speaking out and

Basically asking "What would Jesus do?"

And then posts this stupid AI image.

How very christian of him. Paula White prolly told him that god told her to tell tsf to do it. For a fee, of course.

What a bunch of fucking ghouls.

[agingdem]

11. Trump as Jesus...that's what makes them "recoil"??..

not kidnapping/beating/deporting American citizens...not killing protestors and branding them as terrorists, not
sacrificing our sons and daughters for his unprovoked vanity war, not threatening genocide, not his economy destroying tariffs, not massive job losses, not $5.00 a gallon gas, not the rising cost of healthcare, not his government shutdowns, not firing air traffic controllers, not damaging the CDC, not threatening to defund Social Security/Medicare, not destroying the White House, not slapping his name on our national monuments, not entertaining our enemies, not taking foreign bribes, not adding billions to his personal bottom line, not funding foreign imports while generational farms/ranches go bust...

but sure, a senile degenerate cosplaying Jesus...a bridge too far!!!

[LymphocyteLover]

12. yeah, but still... if they see him as a deranged blasphemer and he loses them, I'll take it

[BumRushDaShow]

14. "Trump as Jesus...that's what makes them "recoil"??.."

They have been speaking out against what you listed since day one.

In fact, a number of them have been outside of ICE facilities every single day protesting along with other clergy, and are getting arrested for blocking the driveways of those facilities. They have been part of lawsuits to force ICE to allow ministerial access to the facilities as most of the Latin American detainees are Catholics.

Those stories are mostly reported in the "local" news and only rarely make it to "national news".

[Mister Ed]

30. The "they" in the OP headline are MAGA folks, rather then conscientious clergy.

I haven't heard of MAGA folks taking such principled stands against ICE. What am I missing?

[BumRushDaShow]

38. Remember that "MAGats" are a diverse group

1.) There are some who are racist fucks who are white supremacist anti-DEI types, who wanted ethnic cleansing of every group not part of theirs (and would accept genocide if they could accomplish that), and that of course focused on all the round ups to the concentration camps and removal from the country.

2.) There are others who are anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+, mostly Catholic (but who profess immigrant rights and have generally been anti-war).

3.) Then there are those who are into CT (including UFOs, etc) and woo like those who have gravitated towards the MAGat "MAHA" movement, and tend to be anti-vax.

4.) And there is yet another group, a suicidal one, that you see that Kegsbreath has evolved from - the so-called "Christian Nationalists" (and includes many evangelicals), who are not only anti-Catholic, but who believe they should be a part of and facilitate "the end times" and will do what they can to make it happen.

5.) You have the purported "America First" crowd (like MTG) who really believed that 45 would bring jobs back to the U.S. and would get out of "foreign wars" (and this included many libertarians)

6.) And don't forget the group of billionaires (tech bros and others) who wanted their tax breaks and funding for their priorities

7.) Plus you still have the cowardly teabaggers in there, who really wanted "less government" and cheered on Muskrat, who made sure to destroy it with his chainsaw, eliminating over 350K federal jobs in the past year

This is just a list of some of of the groups but they all formed a "coalition" to get 45 elected and get their OWN personal agendas enacted. And inevitably, there would be a conflict.

[thucythucy]

28. And don't forget his protection of sex offenders

and his own well documented--and self-confessed--sexual assaults.

According to M. Taylor Greene he said he wouldn't release the Epstein files because it "would hurt" too many of his "friends."

And yes, I'm actually giving--some limited--credence to MTG.

Which is an indication of just how crazy are the times in which we live.

[LeftinOH]

15. Paula White has said "to oppose Trump is to oppose God" -- so this tracks.

Evangelicals should have no problem with this.

[Historic NY]

18. That's right Donald keep it up, you just might release some zealots that will give you a lesson of your life.

[Blumancru]

19. Trying to decode the imagery

Looks like he is healing Jeffrey Epstein. The World’s Most Interesting Man is on the left. Maybe the two women represent Mailorderia and Ivanka, I dunno. What no one mentions is the winged demon above Cheetolini’s bald ass noggin. It has wings and horns.

[Ray Bruns]

24. " Mailorderia" Love it.

[BattleRow]

44. And Cheetolini!

Alternately,Cheatolini..

[DFW]

27. What??? There really IS a point where Trump went too far for Republicans?

I confess to being astounded.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. Relevant for you as a Texan

when you lose Strickland, you know things are bad (and that was before this latest stunt)!

[DFW]

34. Trump is convincing himself that he's Father Divine

That there is anybody at all left in the country who takes him seriously is grounds for the rest of the world building a wall around us, with a sanity test required for anyone wishing to leave or enter.

[BumRushDaShow]

46. As a side note since you mention Father Divine

the building he owned here in Philly that was eventually vacant for a couple decades, was renovated for use as a hotel again, and later was updated to be an apartment building -



New owners of Divine Lorraine want to return the historic property to its roots

33. Trump crucified

Trump crucified



This was posted as "The Single Most Blasphemous Picture in History."

Perfect for those who consider Trump such a good Christian. Ironic that Jesus was an observant Jew.

[sop]

36. I hadn't seen that Trump crucifixion painting before, agree it's the "single most blasphemous picture in history.

Putin...Jung Un...Xi Jinping...is that Orban holding the flag loin cloth?...Pelosi with the spear...Melania as Mary Magdalene...INRI (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) replaced by MAGA...

[Playingmantis]

35. CRAAAAZZZYYY BASTARD

He is totally insane.. But his followers will say A) He didnt post it..B) It was a joke C) Taken out of context D) He really is Christ or
E) All of the above are true

He is a sick clown

[Hugin]

43. "Locker room talk". n/t

[CaptainTruth]

37. So if he's killed he believes he'll come back in 3 days?

[BattleRow]

42. Is there a no return policy,per chance?

[Martin68]

39. "Even MAGA?" "recoil?" When will they acknowledge the fact that he is totally demented and impeach him?

[Hugin]

40. I can retire again now.

Not one of them will ever vote for a “D”, though.
