'That's insane': Trump slammed for 'comparing his plight to that of Jesus' before Easter

[Tom of Temecula]

Donald Trump just shared an article comparing himself to Jesus, one day before Easter celebrations. Trump, who has long been accused of narcissism that equates to blasphemy for some Christians, on Saturday posted an article to his Truth Social platform that makes the religious comparison. Truth Social is the ex-president's social media company, which recently went public but is expected by some experts to tank. The article that Trump shared is titled, "The Crucifixion of Donald Trump."

"One of the basic tenets of the law is determining who the victim is. There quite literally doesn’t appear to be one in the New York case, but the judge rendered a guilty verdict anyway. The judge determined a penalty in the staggering amount of $455 million. With interest, Trump was told he had to pay $464 million within 30 days, regardless of whether he intended to appeal.

If he failed to secure payment or a bond to guarantee the amount, New York would seize Trump-owned properties," according to the article published on March 28. "Much like Pilate tried to placate the mob by merely beating Jesus nearly to death, the judge 'relented' by lowering the bond required to a paltry $175 million and gave Trump an additional 10 days to secure it."

Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein flagged the share by the ex-president. "Trump just shared an article comparing his plight to that of Jesus," Henlein wrote before quoting the name of the piece. "That's insane." Henlein goes on to suggest that Christians shouldn't vote for Trump over President Joe Biden in the upcoming presidential election later this year. "But please, go on about how Christians must vote for this guy," he wrote on Saturday.

1. We need to nail his ass to a jail cell.

[CTyankee]

20. At this point it will be a mental facility.

[tanyev]

2. OK, Donald. Christian doctrine teaches that Jesus voluntarily submitted to his crucifixion.

Please proceed.

[bluesbassman]

37. Christianity also teaches that Christ was the propitiation for our sins, not his.

Trump, having never read nor studied the Bible has no concept of this doctrine. He ignorantly sees Jesus as a leader rather than a teacher, so in that vein he sees (or wants his followers to believe) that he persecuted rather than actually being prosecuted for his crimes.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Yes, it's insane, but you knew it was coming, no? Resurrection too!

Trump is mocking Jesus and the Bible and Christianity all in one throw. It is absurd! And MAGA will eat it up. The Fifth Federal Circuit Court will probably accept it!

[Bayard]

4. Orange Jesus,

Chosen by God.

[malaise]

5. He is insane

Ridicule the fool
That is all

[RobertDevereaux]

6. Will someone please SHUT THIS ASSHOLE UP?

[Omnipresent]

7. Tfg's mental illness is getting to be too much.

His family needs to have him committed. It’s inhumane for them to let him carry on in this degrading fashion, as though he has a commanding strategy as their patriarch for recapturing the Whitehouse.

[PatSeg]

23. His family is a bunch of grifters too

They only care about Donald when it benefits them. They're probably hoping he'll have a stroke. The inhumanity runs through the family.

[mercuryblues]

8. Prove it motherfucker

Nail yourself up on a cross for three days.

[North Shore Chicago]

10. And I halp. n/t

[Sky Jewels]

17. We'll even throw his body in a cave and block it with a boulder.

He can prove he is just like Jesus by popping out after three days. Ta-daaaah!

(Disclaimer: I don’t believe the Jesus Bible myths are actually true.)

[ms liberty]

9. There's a scene in the great cult classic The Ruling Class

Where Peter O'Toole, playing an upper class nut who thinks he's Jesus, is hanging out on his cross on his study. It comes to mind now as being ripe for photoshopping.

Editing to add, there's a scene in The Ref, where Lloyd Chausser finally has had it with his evil mother, and as he smashes the Christmas tree with a golf club (maybe it was a fireplace poker?), he yells that next year he's going to give her a giant cross that she can drag around everywhere, so every time she feels abused she can just climb up on it. Part of that could make a wonderful voiceover.

I'm feeling really vicious this morning. I have had a stressful week.

[niyad]

21. I am so sorry that your week was so bad. I hope things get better.

[ms liberty]

22. Thanks, niyad!

[PatSeg]

24. Trump has a way of bringing out the worst in us

It is his super power. I hope this coming week is better for you.

[Ocelot II]

26. One of the funniest movies ever, in a dark sort of way.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. At least Peter O'Toole was amusing in that role.

Great movie.

[Kablooie]

11. If Trump believes he's Jesus, MAGA will believe and vote for him.

If he believes he’s the devil, MAGA will believe and vote for him.

[PatSeg]

25. Yes, because if they can see Trump

as the Anti Christ, that means the End Times are at hand and they can all float up to heaven. Whatever they believe, it is a win for them.

Of course if they all float up to heaven, that is a win for us!

[niyad]

12. One would think that the deity to whom TRAITOR** compares himself

would get just a tad offended, if this deity were the loving entity we were told about. Since this deity seems to have no problem with the awful things being done in his name, one might conclude that this deity is a psychopath.

[brush]

13. You just know the MFer never reads the Bible. Anyone who does would never equate him/herself with Jesus' sacrifice.

The republican party will regret that they never got rid of this sacrilegious villain when they had the chance during the past impeachment hearings.

Can you hear me, Mitch?

The election is close and trump keeps going lower and lower. There is no bottom to his depravity.

[PatSeg]

27. Yes, he'll keep going lower and lower

until he runs out of people to offend. I've never seen anything like it. Even satire doesn't go this far.

I agree there is no bottom, but if there is is, he'll find it.

[brush]

32. His insanity has reached the point of a "James Bond-type villain.

It's unbelievable that we're watching this unfold. His brain is working at 100 mph as he tries desperately one gambit after another to save himself — the continuing efforts to delay, delay, delay the trials, his social media threats of judges and court personnel, the posting of the bound and gagged Joe Biden photo, the bloodbath threat, the judge's daughter's photo — it's all absolutely depraved, insane and desperate, not to mention the violating of the judge's gag order.

This will be a film at some point and the phrase "stranger than fiction" applies. It will be wild, as the monster himself once said.

He's actually a deranged monster. It won't end well and there probably will be blood.

[PatSeg]

38. Yes and James Bond villains

are actually more believable than Donald Trump. He is so wacky and bizarre, it is often hard to take it all in. Definitely "stranger than fiction".

I try to imagine how on earth they will make this into a film (or more likely a miniseries).

I agree, it won't end well, but it WILL end.

[brush]

39. Thank God, it will end.

Of all the people in the nation, this bloviating buffoon is the one taking up all the oxygen in the room and magats adore him..

What a crock. I'll be so glad once Joe wins the election and trump will be convicted...should be in jail, and finally just a distant memory fading in the rearview mirror.

[PatSeg]

42. Yes

I think a lot of us hoped he would disappear from public view a lot sooner.

Of course, this is more about his supporters than it is about him. The fact that so many could be fooled by a really bad con artist is truly disturbing and I suppose there was always a problem in our country that needed to be addressed. Trump unwittingly brought the disease to the surface. If it hadn't been Trump, it would have eventually been someone else.

He will go away, but shit, they will still be with us!

[Farmer-Rick]

14. The Stinking Nazi thinks he's not only god but....

He thinks he's the world. He is one of those people who thinks the world will end when he dies. But since the Stinking Nazi thinks he's god he thinks he's never going to die.

And now his mind is failing, so he's gone deeper into this god complex.

[UpInArms]

15. How to make Easter (or any day) about him

The day TFG is not in the news cycle, I will rejoice.

[Walleye]

16. They constantly criticize Joe for coming to Delaware on the weekends. But every weekend he's at home he attends church

I know because I live about 500 yards from his church and I see the motorcade Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings. He doesn’t make a big deal about it, he just quietly goes to church and goes on home. The motorcade has a very small footprint in Delaware.

[Turbineguy]

18. In all fairness

there were no porn stars around back then.

[Patton French]

19. Beyond the pale. NT

[Ocelot II]

29. You'd think the evangelicals would find Trump's comparing himself to Jesus offensive.

The fact that they don't shows that evangelical "Christianity" has nothing to do with theology, but that it's become a political movement that you dare not criticize because they call it religion.

[Xoan]

30. I'd like to see him rise from the dead.

[3catwoman3]

31. I'd just like to see him dead.

ASAP, please. Today would be fine.

[keithbvadu2]

33. The latest Messiah sent by God... beloved by his Christians.

[Blue Owl]

34. The bride at every wedding, the corpse at every funeral, and now the diety in every religion

[trusty elf]

35. Some clown named Helgard Mueller actually published a book....

called "President Donald J. Trump, The Son of Man-the Christ". ! ! !

36. Jesus came up to me, he had a tear in his eye, and he said, "sir,..."

"Sir, the work you do is simply incredible. So beautiful and incredible. And you're such an amazing golfer as well. World class champion golfer. The best. Maybe the best golfer there's ever been. My work here is done. But I want you to carry on.

First I want you to defraud millions. Banks, customers, employees, partners, suppliers, lawyers, everyone. I want you to create new businesses to defraud even more people, grift the money out and bankrupt them. Never ever get your finances audited. Lie about the value of your properties, more to lenders, less to tax assessors. Whatever you do, make sure you make less than passive investing would have made, but claim you're a billionaire anyway.

Then I want you to marry, cheat, divorce, marry, cheat, divorce, marry, cheat, and you get the idea. Molest, assault, abuse, and rape a few dozen women at least. Then make them sign non-disclosure agreements. Pay them off or threaten them, or hey, maybe both, up to you. And if any of them speaks out, just lie, insult, and defame them. Again and again and again.

Then know that we are all god's children but only if you're a pink-skinned, straight, male, English-speaking American, conservative without any physical disabilities and with the appearance of having hundreds of millions of dollars in assets regardless of debts. Exceptions made only for orange skin and foreign dictators, especially if Russian.

Then I want you demand thousands more NDAs while accusing others of not being transparent. Claim to be a successful businessman but refuse to get an audit or release your taxes. Accuse others of being national security risks then steal national security secrets and store them poorly. In fact, just blurt some of them out and share them with anyone who happens to be around you.

Then I want you to corrupt Democratic institutions and try to overthrow the government.

They shall know me through you and they shall know you are good by all the evil you do."

That's not me saying that, that was jesus, these gods, they love me. What can I say, they just love me. And who can blame them.

And I love real Americans and I'll know who the real Americans are because they're the ones who will buy a bible from me for only $59.99. And remember, god loves you based on his many bibles you buy so be sure to stock up! And speaking of stocks, buy my stock! What have you got to lose!

[lame54]

40. That's his game...

He was hoping to be locked up for 3 days for Easter

[Ocelot II]

41. Satan offered Jesus dominion over all the kingdoms of the world,

and Jesus told him to fuck right off. Trump would have taken that deal in a heartbeat.

[AllaN01Bear]

43. snork

[MuseRider]

44. It has been so very hard for all of us and

millions of other people to live through our lives with this guy. How is it he is not gone out of our way and out of our worries? He is obviously insane and not getting any better. The lawn episode when he raised his hands up and compared himself with God should have required intense psychiatric work and medical evaluation. That was so long ago and it escalates every year. He is not just some wacko. He was then and I guess he has a chance again to be the leader of our country. I cannot be convinced that there are not enough people to stop this, even among his voters there has to be some push to get rid of this wacko.

He is sick, terribly mentally ill and they are going to let him run for office? If Joe Biden said half of what he has said he would have been evaluated and probably pushed aside.

Jeeze Louise, it makes you want Santorum back. These supporters of tfg have lived a long time getting used to crazy people in leadership, this looks like end game.

But seriously, how can it not be so obviously needed and so important that the looney van isn't parked outside of every building he is in?
