Trump as Pope

Trump is dressed as a Bishop in the photograph not a Cardinal .

Are you Catholic or C of E? You said you are both denominations in the OP.
I have not seen the photo, but consider it offensive in principle.

Truly offensive. This man has no boundaries, yet people admire him. Speaks volumes about their judgement.

Its not fake news, but its been highlighted - plus sources of news where you can see for yourself across in the Trump thread

I am not a Roman Catholic or even religious, but I think the photo is in very bad taste. Not that that is at all surprising from Trump, who is bad taste personified.

Disgusting!

What an idiot he is.

Anyone who has read anything about the catholic church and its dark history, will know its clerical hierarchy has always been awash with awful people all the panoply and robes don't disguise any of that. People are more informed about what the church has tried to hide. I haven't seen the picture but Trump's aspirations become more grandiose and deranged by the day.

I don't understand OP, you can't be catholic and CofE they are distinct from each other,

There's a video on 'the Truth' where he's not only in Papal robes but 'carrying out Papal duties' .

The picture comes up immediately on here

I'm not going to post it was I'm so disgusted by it.

He posted that picture himself. He is the most disgusting person on this planet. You don’t have to be a Catholic or even religious to be offended by this.

Appalling.
Who Does He Think He Is? does not come close.

It's almost astonishing that he doesn't aspire to be God.

The man has a disturbing mentality and it's being nurtured and encouraged by an army of crawlers who seek to benefit from fawning over him.

Elon Musk for one.

Thank you for the link Willow.
The image is beyond disgusting.
How low can that man sink?!!!

I think he is totally deluded, disgusting and unbelievably disrespectful!

But then again noting this utter ass does surprises me anymore.

With no intention on my part to offend, nevertheless we have to open our eyes to the depths to which this moron will sink.
Look away now folks, or prepare to be very angry.
How would we have felt to have our late Queen ridiculed in this way? King Charles? Mohammed?
He’ll be claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus next.
IMO the Vatican should break off all diplomatic relations immediately, NOT invite any representative of the US to any ceremonial associated with a new pontiff and (if only it were possible) impose 100% tariffs on the US.
I’m not a Catholic but there’s common decency and there’s this.

It is of course AI generated.. he posted it though.

Vance is backing Trump. Its just a "joke" (Vance is Catholic)

"Vance defends Trump’s post depicting AI-generated image of himself as pope
The vice president said he is “fine with people telling jokes.

"The official X account for the New York State Catholic Conference criticized Trump’s post, which was also reposted by the White House X account.

“There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President. We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us,” they wrote.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) seemingly joined in on the joke, showing his “support” for Trump as head of the Catholic Church in a X post Saturday.

“Glad to report there is very positive reception and strong momentum for President Trump to be the next Pope. But I will be first to admit there has been some resistance!,” Graham wrote. “Must keep your head down and plow forward — can’t let the naysayers win the day. Next week is crucial as the papal conclave convenes. … More updates to come!”"

My sister sent me a similar meme on Friday. It’s doing the rounds. All sorts of faces. My sister’s had her dog’s face.

All you can expect from a pig is a grunt

What fun🙄

The dictionary explains the word Catholic as "a Greek word meaning 'universal' as used in the CofE creed, so she can be "universal" in her beliefs and stay within the Church of England teachings.
'Roman' catholics are members of the Roman Universal Church if you like.

No common decency - despicable man.
