He’s a very naughty boy!

Sorry but laughing at Trump’s latest attempt at ā€˜divine intervention’ is the only option for me. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

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

Where are the men in white coats?

He rather liked another spoof image of himself wearing the Pope’s hat ( mitre?) just after the last Pope died.I guess he thinks it’s amusing but the Christians in the US, particularly the evangelical kind won’t like it that’s for sure.

That's right Jesus was a brown Palestinian. He was definitely not orange.
Trump gets worse every day.

I knew you weren't Lizzy. I couldn't believe my eyes either. I wanted to post it here because I am sure there will be people who had not seen it and make excuses for him, as usual.

His behaviour reminds me of my BIL, who was a difficult person with many of Trump's traits. He developed Alzheimer's, initially we thought it was just "him" but we soon began to see that his mental capacity was decreasing as his behaviour became more erratic. Trump's very similar, he's lost the qualities that some people liked and has become vicious and obsessive. He needs to go.

Sadly I think you are right. I used to work with people with dementia and it is a common story of the illness creeping up on a loved one and everyone accommodating the eccentricities for a long time before realising what is really going on.

Try reading this

"Some of his most high-profile and loyal Christian supporters, many of whom have stood by the president through multiple other indiscretions, are unable to contain their righteous fury.

Riley Gaines, Fox News host and conservative commentator, said she ā€œcannot understand why he’d post thisā€. ā€œIs he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true. 1) a little humility would serve him well 2) God shall not be mocked,ā€ she wrote on X.

An AI-generated illustration of Trump as Jesus
Trump calls Pope Leo ā€˜weak’ and ā€˜terrible’ in extraordinary broadside

Megan Basham, a writer at the conservative Daily Wire, called the post OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy

ā€œI don’t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this,ā€ she wrote. She demanded Trump take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God

Isabel Brown, a host on the same outlet, said the image was ā€œdisgusting and unacceptableā€.

ā€œNothing matters more than Jesus,ā€ she wrote. ā€œThis post is, frankly, disgusting and unacceptable, but also a profound misreading of the American people experiencing a true and beautiful revival of faith in Christ.ā€

Steve Deace, a host at the rightwing BlazeTV, posted a single word: ā€œNo.ā€

(and....Someone should tell him Jesus was a brown Palestinian, too)

There will be many more as the day wears on in the USA I'm sure.

Excuse my lack of knowledge here but isn’t it in the Bible some where that the Antichrist will come out of the West? Seems to me that Trump is a perfect fit for that.
The picture he posted shows the true, frightening depth of his delusion. He needs to be sectioned.

Hunros Mon 13-Apr-26 16:08:02

But who in USA is brave enough to condemn him?

Fallingstar Mon 13-Apr-26 16:02:49

The trouble is he is surrounded by very dangerous individuals every bit as sick as himself. If he were to go we would get Vance who is a total head case.
Am wondering šŸ¤” how out of the whole US they were ever let out of the attic.

I verified. It is on Truth Social. He posted his rant to the Pope first, then the image.

Thanks Imaround.

I wasn’t doubting you - I was doubting the evidence of my own eyes, it’s so repugnant.

Every time he posts something worse than the previous time, I think this is as low as he can go … and then he goes lower.

The man is sick.

I think Trump's clear dislike of Pope Leo is the best endorsement the Pope could have imaround.

Indeed and has elevated him in the eyes of non believers as well.

Hunros Mon 13-Apr-26 15:53:00

The Pope isn't too pleased either

Allira Mon 13-Apr-26 15:38:39

I’m starting to worry even more about the King’s visit now.

I think he'll dress up as King of the World when King Charles arrives. Trying to out-Trump a real King.

The people who voted for Trump are not Christians.

Trump did insult Catholics and true Christians. Luckily, there are more of them than the fake Christians who voted for him.

I'm a Christian and I'm pretty offended.
Where's a thunderbolt from heaven when you need one?

Yes.

It's blasphemous but, as he is completely delusional and a danger to the world, the men in white coats do need to take charge.
ASAP

As bad as BJ and LT were Luckygirl there is no comparison to the Orange one and no true Christian could be happy with this.

Indeed so - but the comparison lies in the fact that they were clearly out of order but other countries did not boycott us - they too played the long game and could see that these people were just a passing blip.

Christians sadly are happy with Trump - they voted for him in their droves. I am not sure how one defines a true Christian. These crazy evangelists would say they are the true Christians, just as your measured sane faith would say that yours is. Who knows ...... ?

I agree he is deranged and dangerous. Not fit for the position he holds.

TwiceAsNice Mon 13-Apr-26 15:16:57

I don’t find it funny at all! As a practising Christian I find it deeply offensive and completely endorse the Pope’s comments regarding Trump.

He is blasphemous and a complete moron . When is someone going to get him out of office , he’s an absolute disgrace!

It was on Truth Social. I didn't believe it either, so I went and looked.

The image is AI, the post is not.

Did he really post this on Truth Lies Social imaround😱 Please, please tell me he didn’t. Has he completely lost it now😩

Yes he did. Followed by more codswollap.

Goodness. Is that Jeffrey Epstein he is healing?

Can't be Epstein. Trump has never met him.

LOL. I like your humour.

AGAA4 Mon 13-Apr-26 14:21:37

Yes there are some so called Christians in the US who will support Trump. Pete Hegseth is one of them but there are many more worldwide who won't be happy with this.
