An ego so fragile that the removal had to be hidden behind a curtain.

HERE'S YOUR PHOTO!

How fitting that this ended with yet another shameful cover-up, though.

Perfectly, perfectly Trumpian.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

It’s hard to imagine a greater irony: a celebration of the American Founding—whose entire purpose was rejecting kings, personality cults, and leader worship—being transformed into a vanity project for one man. The Founders fought a war to escape this kind of politics.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

If you hated the hero worship around Obama—as I did—then I don't understand making excuses for a president putting his face on buildings, currency, and passports.

Private individuals making a politician a personality trait is unhealthy. Forcing the public to do so is grotesque.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

America’s 250th anniversary is supposed to celebrate the rejection of kings. Putting a living president’s face on a vanity $250 bill is exactly the kind of cult nonsense the Founders despised.

Indiana Gov. Mike Braun wants to eliminate property taxes for seniors and those who have paid off their mortgage.

This is the same state government that removed tax relief for first time homeowners in a property tax bill last year because it would have allegedly harmed local schools.

Yet under this proposal, Braun would pay zero dollars in property taxes on his huge, nearly 10,000 square foot home with hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer-funded improvements.

The hypocrisy & hatred of young adults here is insane.

It’s incredibly anti-family.

Jesus never fused his name and his relationship with God to an earthly nation. Caesar did that.

The Caesars of our time are doing the same, but with Jesus’ name.

That’s what it looks like to take Jesus’ name in vain.

“My kingdom is not of this world.” -Jesus

Evangelical Christian leaders literally gathering around a gold statue of the president and celebrating it, all while raging against any accusation of idolatry.

This is what idol worship looks like.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Let’s be clear, this is absolutely idol worship.

I don’t need to convince you though. By this tweet i can tell it bothers you.

It should

Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices." https://t.co/O77K08ey3c

Tried to ask the President about two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz who were allegedly fired upon by Iranian gunboats.

President Trump: "out"

Just perfect. This fraudulent, dishonest, Christian Nationalist Trump era in a perfect nutshell.👇

I don't believe that you believe that, but your audience might (and that's all that ultimately matters).

[David French @DavidAFrench]

What’s worse than blasphemy?

Telling transparent lies about blasphemy.

[Tim Alberta @TimAlberta]

My conviction remains:

God did not ordain Donald Trump to rescue the American church, or revive the American church, or redeem the American church.

God ordained Donald Trump to test the American church. And the American church has failed.

[April Ajoy @aprilajoyr]

Trump has always mocked Christianity. The Christian support of him has made a mockery of Christ for years. I'm glad some people are finally realizing this but also, Trump was like this from day 1 - which is why many Christians like myself never supported him.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

There is behavior that's so self-evidently deranged that merely seeing it should lead to fury and disgust. I'm concerned, however, that some evangelicals are so influenced by Trump that they won't unite with their Catholic brothers and sisters in response to Trump's blasphemy and intolerable attacks on the pope, but will instead turn against them.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

This evening, the president posted this, literally presenting himself as Jesus. He’s not doing anything to stave off the anti-Christ allegations. If any Democrat president did this, Evangelical Christians would implode. But will they speak out against this? I highly doubt it.
