Jack White on Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ in a new meme:
"Hey evangelical Christians? Remember that anti-Christ you been squawking about all these years and how he'd present himself as Christlike and bring about the end of days with a final war in the Middle East involving Jerusalem? Well...check out your boy now!
"Listen, if the felonies, epstein files, rapes, bombing of schoolchildren, gestapo ICE agents attacking his own citizens, threatening to invade Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran all didn't convince you that you fell for this deranged grifter, maybe this lil' post will? How can any so called Christian support him after this blasphemy? How could any Catholic support him after he attacks the character of their Pope multiple times? How did so many millions of people fall for this conman? He's already got worst President in the history of America on lock, but I'm gonna go ahead and take the honor of pronouncing trump 'Worst American of All Time.'
"P.S.: after some backlash (looks like SOME christians actually take their own religion seriously) trump is now saying that this AI image depicts him as a doctor for the Red Cross! He lies, then lies about the lie, then doubles down on that lie with another lie and they Just. Keep. Falling. For. It."

Today, I am truly saddened.
Not because Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ or insulted the Pope for speaking against the war. All of that was expected from this man.
I am saddened by the millions of Christians who have been blinded by this man’s moral depravity and have chosen to remain silent.
As the German pastor and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
Because if you step back for a moment and look honestly, Donald Trump is not simply another flawed leader. Every leader is flawed. The issue is something deeper. It is the inversion of the values that Jesus Christ taught.
Christ preached humility. Trump elevates himself.
Christ preached truth. Trump chronically spreads lies.
Christ preached love for enemies. Trump thrives on enemies and hatred.
This is not subtle. It is not ambiguous.
And yet, millions saw this and still chose to defend it. They convinced themselves that he somehow represents “Christian values.”
But what are those Christian values?
Trump is the antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. Instead of love, he promotes hatred; instead of forgiveness, vengeance; instead of meekness, ego and self-glorification. And the list goes on.
Some argue that Trump stands for Christian values by being “pro-life,” but he is not. A truly pro-life position cannot align itself with a war criminal Vladimir Putin, who is responsible for genocide against Ukrainians. But even on the traditional abortion issue, Trump’s position is not pro-life. The only thing he said is that abortion policy should be decided by individual states rather than at the federal level. That is the extent of it. When the issue was politically advantageous, he presented himself as strongly pro-life. When it became inconvenient, his stance shifted.
The warning signs were there all along.
After becoming president, Trump began portraying himself in monarchical terms, sharing images of himself wearing a crown, surrounded by gold statues, and embracing symbols of personal glorification. Yet his followers dismissed it.
“It’s just a joke,” they said.
But words shape reality. And eventually, actions followed. A pattern emerged that increasingly ignored limits, bypassed norms, and concentrated power. And still, the defense continued.
Then came something that should have been a breaking point.
Prominent religious figures, including Paula White and Franklin Graham, began drawing comparisons between Trump and Christ. That should have triggered outrage. Because for Christians, there is no higher comparison.
And yet, there was no widespread rejection. Just silence.
And now, when imagery appears depicting Trump as Christ Himself, that silence remains.
This is no longer about politics.
It is about what happens when faith is subordinated to power.
When loyalty replaces truth.
When identity replaces conviction.
When a man begins to occupy a space that belongs to God alone.
Christianity was never meant to serve power.
Are we still following Christ?
Or have we started following something else?
British political commentator Marina Purkiss just called Trump the “anti-Christ”:
“How dare you! That is blasphemous. The picture is blasphemous. That in itself is the breaking of a commandment. The man himself has broken 8 of the 10 commandments. This guy, in my opinion, is the anti-Christ.”
Our bases are being bombed.
Our embassies are under attack.
Thousands of Americans are stranded.
Innocent Iranians are being murdered, including hundreds of children.
We’re spending a billion dollars a day to wage an illegal war which has resulted in the deaths of 6 US soldiers & injuries to countless others.
And where is Donald Trump?
He’s golfing.
Golfing.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson is sounding the alarm. Texas voters followed the rules and were still turned away because officials chose conspiracy theories over proven voting systems. That is not a glitch in the system. It is a voter suppression strategy, and it is coming for the rest of the country if we do not shut it down.
