So I'm all for the Catholic church not getting tax payers money. But let's be real 11 million to the Catholic church is like me accidentally losing 20 bucks.

You realize the church isn’t getting the money, the church is using the money
to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision
You’re not hurting the church when you no longer let them use your money to help care for the needy, you’re only hurting those needy
Don’t let your hatred of organized religion distract who this hurts
“That’ll show them I’m the good guy”
Do you think we can trick him into taxing churches
Call it a tariff instead and it's got legs.
Him in a vacuum? Yes, probably.
However, it's the handlers and enablers Wormtonguing him behind the scenes that make it difficult.
Wormtonguing him behind
Ahhhhhh! You could've chosen any combination of words but you had to use tonguing and behind.
Probably that too tbh
"Support me politically, or I will do stuff that will hurt the kids living in my own country" was Putin's thing back in 2012.
This regime brought to you by the "Culture Of Life (TM)."
Illegal
Please, can I have just one day without some shit from that orange stain? Just one fucking day!
Not until someone puts a bullet down his eye socket.
And even then....
How does he think this is going to punish the Catholic Church? The man is a complete moron.
what a petty little bitch
A shame that a whole country wants their intentions to be decided by a narcissist.
I'm curious if there's historical record of anyone or especially a leader being as petty as this short fingered vulgarian.
I'd like to think anywhere before say 1900s they'd have dealt with such an issue in a way relevant to the times. But we have stories of Nero and Caligula.....is Trump going to join their ranks in history? I do hope so, but as a footnote, the worst thing for him is to be forgotten when he's done.
At this point, beyond all political crap, the proper stand is to just ignore the orange infant. I thought otherwise before, how to ignore a driving force in the world? Well if every other country stops acknowledging him, he'll probably have a stroke or something. Seriously let's all make an ignore Trump day/month and everyone including countries just don't acknowledge he's there. At his age that may least overcome one issue. Plus the rage posts will be great for the books, history and psychology.
Seriously who lets someone like that get into power? He's a petulant child and should be treated as such but somehow he's been treated with kid gloves cause he's rich.
The "ignore" tactic might work on an anonymous internet troll, it's impossible for the president of the US. Even if he acts like an internet troll.
I second that idea. Lets make June Ignore the Orange Shit-stain month since his birthday is in June. Maybe he'll stroke-out out of pure rage.
Tax them, Donald! That’ll teach them a lesson! In fact, tax all religions so the rest of them know not to challenge you!
I can see him starting his own religion instead, once he realizes how much merch he can sell.
The MAGA Mega Church
Think of prayers asked and answered as an exchange of goods. Now tariff them.
Right? I see no downsides to this.
I mean, killing a charity that provides care for unaccompanied migrant children without providing the care as a public service sounds like a downside to me.
The Catholic Church can sell a painting to keep that open.
They don’t even need to do that, does anyone actually know how much gold they have? Not to mention precious stones and the vast number of antiquities, they literally have god tier money
Add "Petty Bitch" to the list of the Orange Child Rapist titles
He's had the Petty Bitch title for most of his life, though.
It's just not enough for him to rape children anymore. When Donald Trump rapes a child, he only hurts that one child. By taking millions from a charity that helps children, Donald Trump has found one more way to ruin many children's lives all at once.
Trump seems like a person who heard that old meme about "How many children could you defeat?" and he ran with it.
Stopping food programs for children. Bombing elementary schools. Raping children. Caging children and separating them from their families. Deporting children despite their being US Citizens.
Trump is working from every angle to harm as many children as possible.
He's had the Petty Bitch title for most of his life, though.

This guy is such a loser. Don’t ever forgive the losers who voted for this because they’re irredeemable trash
you realized the voters, are dumber than he is. and he called them suckers and losers.
I think that he meant the suckers and losers are those "boots on the ground" people.
None of this behavior is surprising. He has always been this way. I'm tired of people who should know, not realizing this. Trump has always been this way, and he should have been gone when he made fun of the disabled veteran all those years ago.
Maybe he'll tax churches finally?
He's actually petty enough to try. Lmao that would be fucking awesome
I really want the pope to excommunicate Vance over all of this. That would be some excellent television.
Who in this day and age feuds with the dang pope? Are we going to have pope wars again? I hope so.
Is there oil under Vatican City?
Maybe some holy scented oils.
Decaying Saint scent
Imagine normalising having a "Feud with the Pope". Mental.
I thought the Antichrist was supposed to be cool and suave, not this fucking thing.
Does this mean the Catholic and Cuban votes will finally turn on him?
If we could channel their cognitive dissonance to turn turbines, we'd solve the energy crisis.
I certainly plan to bring this up to my highly catholic family members and see where their loyalty truly lies.
Every cult needs a religious leader, he is just eliminating the fake ones, like ... checks notes ... the Pope.
Gotta give it to them for finding the absolute perfect target here.
- Stealing money.
- Catholic.
- Alone Children.
- Migrants.
- Shelter and Care.
It's like rolling a Yahtzee for them.
