Bright golden light

Trump says oh hey now, he wasn’t saying he was Jesus, he was saying he was a doctor.

The image showed President Trump in a white and red robe, commonly used in renderings of Jesus Christ and in scripture prophesying his return. Bright golden light, which is used to depict divine intervention in religious imagery, radiated from Mr. Trump’s hand as he touched the forehead of a sick man. A woman observed the scene with her hands steepled in prayer.

As he received two bags of a McDonald’s food delivery to the Oval Office on Monday morning, Mr. Trump told reporters that he did not catch all that religious imagery. He said he had thought the image he had posted to his Truth Social account had depicted him not as Jesus — but as a physician.

Hahahahaha the bags of McDonald’s hahahahachoke. This guy has top class chefs on the government payroll and he orders in McDonald’s. Tells you everything about him.

As a rule, Mr. Trump does not apologize for doing and saying things that hurt or offend people, and officials in his White House characterize his behavior as radically refreshing and transparent.

That could be true. Harsh realities can hurt or offend people who need harsh realities. We know it offends Trump to be told he’s wrong about something. His insults and lies are indeed transparent, but refreshing, not so much.

    Either way, it’s still despicable. Doctors are highly trained, skilled individuals, and they do more than just touch the patient. They employ skills, equipment, and years of knowledge.

    As for not meaning it to be Jesus? Oh, come on. Who believes that? A standard Jesus type image, a woman kneeling in prayer, healing touch…why does everyone (not here, of course) praise Trump for honesty? He is a blatant liar. Maybe that’s why…his lies are so obvious it’s almost impossible not to spot them unless you are steeped in his cult and have drunk his Kool-Aid.

    The delivery was just staged to promote the “No Tax on Tips” boggle during tax week. She even *says* “I’m just here to talk about tips” when he tries to change the subject.
