He’s a very naughty boy!

Sorry but laughing at Trump’s latest attempt at ‘divine intervention’ is the only option for me. 😂😂

As Jeremy Vine said this morning, ‘He’s gone full (party) balloon.’

Where are the men in white coats?

Interview this morning on Sky News. People in the bible belt playing down the picture but saying Trump was doing a great job as president. Think I live in a parallel universe.

Thank you for the link imaround; a fascinating all be it rather disturbing article especially Newman who describes Trump to a 't'.

There appears to be a very chilling progression in these ridiculous images we're seeing of Trump. To begin with he was shown with Jesus, 'working' along side him but this one is clearly depicting him as Jesus.

Trump portrayed himself as the pope once. Shows a deep flaw in his character. Does he want to be one of the most revered people in the world.

He could go for most notorious and evil.

Esmay

Another deeply offensive act by Trump .

I wonder what's next .
Claiming the British crown?
Living in Buckingham Palace ?
Nothing he says or does remotely surprises me any longer .

Good heavens, that's not enough Esmay

He wants to be King of the World. Buckingham Palace is just a cottage!

I will say it again - he's a despicable excuse for a human being. And yet he still dares to criticise anyone who disagrees with him. With a bit of luck, he'll get struck by lightning.

I wonder what JD Vance, a Catholic, has had to say about his comments regarding the Pope.

Vance won’t care, he sold his soul years ago.

There’s more than that:

“Based on reports as of April 2026, some supporters and spiritual advisors, such as Paula White-Cain, have used language comparing Donald Trump to Jesus Christ, particularly regarding his political comeback and "sacrificial" image during his time in office. These comparisons have included likening his journey to a resurrection and referring to him as a "king".Spiritual Advisor Comparisons: Paula White-Cain, a spiritual advisor, has likened Trump's political journey to the death and resurrection of Jesus, stating, "Because He was victorious, you were victorious"."King" Rhetoric: During a 2026 White House Easter event, Trump referenced being welcomed as a king, noting, "They call me king now, can you believe it?".Biblical Analogies: Some supporters and evangelical leaders have described Trump as a "vessel of the Lord," sometimes drawing parallels to biblical figures like King Cyrus or Jehu to portray him as a chosen leader.”

I truly believe that (some) American have gone completely bonkers and that we must live in a completely different world to them?

Well, it's been a while since I saw my GP, but a member of my extended family is a hospital doctor, but I haven't seen any doctor dressed like this. Is this a common outfit for medical practitioners in the USA?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And yet...people still worship at his feet confused

Has anyone else noted that in the poster of Donald Trump raising the dead, the very undead looking corpse is a smirking Geoffrey Epstein?

Neilspurgeon0 Tue 14-Apr-26 13:49:19

Oh casdon.

Thinking ? Trump ?

Two words rarely used together

Maremia Tue 14-Apr-26 14:08:59

Post on Facebook supposedly showing a new cognitive test.
An image of a doctor on one side
An image of Jesus on the other.
Identify the doctor, is the task.

The Emperor Caligula declared himself to be divine. That didn't end well.

His as always doing another blokes job, just on wrong side and not got his horns on,. He’s not fit to run a rat run let alone a country
Time the mad man was got rid of, one way or another….

If it was Epstein he'd have to raise him from the dead.

X posts grin

Trump actually thinking?? I don't think so, he's hardly likely to do start doing that now.

I was watching an Amerian newsclip this morning with so called Catholic Vance. I couldn't believe it when he actually said that the Pope should stay out of politics!

He said that he only meant to show that he’s a healer

Bazza Tue 14-Apr-26 15:22:18

Trump said he was portraying himself as a doctor, no doctor I’ve ever seen looked like that, but Vance said it was just a joke. Perhaps they should get their stories straight. He must have upset countless Christian’s who found it blasphemous. I just found it hilarious, and yes, he’s been a very very naughty boy. When will someone please take him away.

Oreo Tue 14-Apr-26 15:28:48

Fortunately tho, Christians are more tolerant of this sort of spoofery than Muslims are about cartoons of the prophet Mohammed.If that had happened there’d have been a riot.

Chocolatelovinggran Tue 14-Apr-26 15:37:06

Indeed, Oreo, I regard myself as a tolerant Christian.
However, this post is not a "spoof" , which is an exaggeration intended to amuse. It is much more offensive than that, to me, at least.

knspol Tue 14-Apr-26 15:43:48

Despicable post from a despicable man.

So is he going to bring all those children he has killed back from the dead?

AGAA4 Tue 14-Apr-26 15:48:15

Oreo Christians aren't so tolerant that they will let this go. It was a deeply hurtful insult and won't be forgotten. They may not make a fuss but this will leave a scar that I doubt will be forgiven.

As they say, the Americans never did understand irony.

I totally agree. He's kept in post by Republican's who know their jobs will be gone when Trump goes. The sooner the better I reckon but we'll probably have to wait till there's more democrats around.
