An AI-generated image depicting Donald Trump as a Jesus-like character, posted by the so-called president late Sunday, includes a slight change from the original meme that was posted by a MAGA sycophant a few months ago.
In the original meme, U.S. soldiers are seen hovering over Trump’s shoulder.
However, the one Trump posted replaces the soldiers with what can best be described as demons.
The Bulwark’s culture editor Sonny Bunch was one of the first to notice the alteration made by Trump.
Sure but the thing about Donald Trump is that he’s a completely irreligious person and, as a result, doesn’t actually care about the image of himself as Jesus with demons over his shoulder. https://t.co/gNQqmgFujb pic.twitter.com/q6JvLXEDCK

As you’d expect, Trump’s posting set off a wave of anger and revulsion online. Take a look:
How despicable can one be? It seems that Donald Trump has no idea or he has no religious aptitude nor does he have any respect of any religious deity including Jesus Christ.

“no matter the intent” The intent being…what, exactly? What’s the good faith interpretation here?

I feel this is the most honest depiction of how Trump sees himself. He has no idea who Christ was or is, and feels no moral guilt for usurping Jesus’ place as Savior. Shame on e wry pastor who endorses this most depraved man.

We live in an she where I can't tell if a screenshot showing Donald Trump tweeting a picture of him as Jesus healing Jeffrey Epstein and I can't tell if it is real or not.

That’s not true, he even has a favorite book in the Bible, a Couple Corinthians.

Seriously though if Obama or Biden had posted an image of themselves as Jesus, the reaction on the right would look like the scene in Kingsman. pic.twitter.com/thJB10uMR9
