Not one to take criticism lightly, or to those who disagree with him, President Trump these past few days has taken to lambasting Pope Leo for daring to criticize his war with Iran. The Pope said the war has led to “absurd and inhuman violence.”
In response, Trump basically told the Pontiff to mind his own business and called him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy.” Today the Pope said he had “no fear” of Trump.
A spoken and/or written feud is one thing, but when Sir Donald takes to image creation to show himself superior to the papacy, wow!
In an image posted on social media but deleted after an onslaught of criticism (deleted image shown at right), Trump depicts himself as some heavenly figure, probably as Jesus, according to many, if not most, who criticized the fakery.
In the image, a floating-in-air Trump treats a patient lying down comatose. To me, the bizarre thing is that the patient resembles Jeffrey Epstein.
Whoa, Nellie! Jesus bringing Epstein back to life?
Trump, of course, had to distance himself from the image. In an impromptu press conference, he said the image merely depicted him as a doctor, not as Jesus.
“Pope Leo said things that are wrong,” he said. “He was very much against what I’m doing with regard to Iran, and you cannot have a nuclear Iran. Pope Leo would not be happy with the end result.”
About the image, Trump explained, or tried to:
“It’s supposed to be as a doctor making people better, And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.”
