Trump Posts Image Of Himself And Jesus Days After Christ Depiction
President Donald Trump posted an image of himself alongside Jesus on Wednesday, days after posting and deleting an image where he appeared to be depicted as Jesus healing the sick.
Trump released the image showing him healing a sick man after a clash with Pope Leo XIV over Operation Epic Fury. In the new image, a screenshot of an article published Wednesday morning on X, Trump is seen being kissed by Jesus. (RELATED: Trump Claims Viral Cure Post Was Him Playing Doctor, Not God)
“The radical left crazies might not like this, but I think it’s pretty cool!!! » Trump said.
Trump told reporters during an impromptu news conference Monday that the image he posted earlier in the morning was only a depiction of him as a “doctor” and was not intended to portray him as Jesus Christ. Trump received criticism from his supporters for the image before deleting the post.
“I posted it and I thought it was me as a doctor and it had to do with the Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there that we support, and only fake news could get to that one,” Trump said. “So, I just heard about it and I was like, how did they come up with this? This is supposed to be me, as a doctor, making people better, and I’m making people better.”
Furious responses to Trump’s offensive post included former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who claimed Trump was “replacing Jesus.” Journalist Meghan Basham, who describes herself as a “church lady”, called the photo “outrageous blasphemy” and demanded the post be removed.
Before posting the images, Trump criticized Pope Leo, calling him “WEAK” on foreign policy and crime.
“Pope Leo is WEAK on crime and terrible on foreign policy,” Trump said Sunday. “He talks about the ‘fear’ of the Trump administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church and every other Christian organization had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everyone else, for holding religious services, even going out and being ten or even twenty feet apart.
The pope criticized Trump in a social media post Friday after Trump suggested God supported Operation Epic Fury during an April 6 news conference. (RELATED: Trump doubles down on attacks on Pope, refuses to apologize)
“God does not bless any conflict. He who is a disciple of Christ, Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once brandished the sword and today drops bombs. Military action will not create a space of freedom or a time of #Peace, which only comes from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue between peoples,” the pope wrote on X.
The War Department and the Vatican disputed a Free Press report that a meeting between U.S. Undersecretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby and Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican ambassador to the United States, went awry in January.
“As confirmed by His Eminence Christophe Pierre, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, his meeting with Mr. Elbridge Andrew Colby was part of the regular mission of the papal representative and provided the opportunity for an exchange of views on issues of mutual interest,” the Vatican said in its statement. “The story offered by some media regarding this meeting is completely false. »
