Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

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...
it was a long time ago
It happened again two months ago. Although based on your X comments I'm betting you missed it.
sorry, the past few months have felt like a decade!

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.

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.

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.

I can't wait to hear how fucking Mike Johnson defends this shit
He barely knows him and only saw him once on the island.
He might have deleted it, but we never will. We will remind MAGA of this forever.
Your average maga will say he was hacked by Iran and write it off, then commit adultery in the church parking lot before being absolved by a priest who's getting his tally whacker sucked by a 9 year old boy in the confession booth. You have no idea who these people are

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".
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.

Coward.
We all have the screenshots. This changes nothing. Here's the URL for posterity's sake:

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.
The problem with shit like this is that all those Christians are absolutely going to vote Republican in November.
They would absolutely re-elect him if he ran again.
They would 100% believe him if he told them that he learned his lesson.

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.

Is it Taco Tuesday already?
"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.

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.

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.

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?

This will make him even more resentful of his dumb Christian base, which might lead to more hilarious crash outs like his rant against Tucker, Kelly, Owens, and Jones.

I think people would respect the media more if they stopped reporting on everything from truth social.
It's just a bot farm made to stroke the ego of a geriatric rape ape

Kind of wondering if AI threw in that horned figure in the back as a subtle jab similar to other artist depictions of Trump lately.
Ah yes, breaking news
