    He’s distracting from the fact that he called for all Democrats to be removed from Congress. It’s a smokescreen bc of how ludicrous it is.

      As a former Christian, It’s been SO hard keeping my non-faith while actively living at the same time as the Anti-Christ.

      American Christians are pure evil but there’s a lot going on now that lines up with warnings issued in their book

    Trump has said that although he was “confirmed at a Presbyterian church as a child, I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian.”

    Uhhhh…he’s not even Catholic? That’s kinda a prerequisite for THE LEADER OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!

    He’s completely trolling, right? I mean it’s gotta be cover for something happening that he wants to distract people from. He can’t be that stupid that to think he can actually be Pope…can he?

      IDK, what he said about his daughter and knowing Jeffey Epstein are some solid credentials.

    If Obama had made a stupid meme dressed as the pope, “Christians” would have burned the White House to the ground, it would have literally started a war. Its absolutely INSANE to me how much this man gets away with. He’s right, you really can do anything when you’re rich.

          It’s really as simple as Trump hating the right people. He hates the same people that his voters hate and because of that he can get away with almost anything. Trump voters have been waiting a long time for a president that will openly and unapologetically spew hatred. They ignore the fact he is a narcissistic lying idiot who does not stand for almost anything religious people claim they care about.

            Oh yeah I totally get that, that was my point: it’s not white privilege, it’s just telling people what they want to hear.

          I think with Biden they would have been pissed and took to the internet and Fox News about it, but the pure hatered for Obama was something that people are very easily forgetting these days. People legitimately believed he was the Anti-Christ and a Muslim. They would have actually rioted in the streets.

            Sure I get that loads of people really hated Obama for lots of reasons. I sincerely don’t think this is a racial thing though: it’s a tribal thing, us vs them. Republicans are perceived as being on the side of Christianity (us) so they are given a lot more leeway in these matters, where Democrats (them) are the enemy of Christianity and every slight however small must be countered in the strongest possible terms (see: ‘the war on Christmas’ and other stupid shit.)

            Would the outrage have been greater if it was Obama instead of Biden? Absolutely, I’m not questioning that at all. I’m just saying don’t think there wouldn’t be outrage against Biden just because he’s not black.

            I definitely think there would’ve been more outrage if it was Obama vs Biden, but this is a tribal thing, Democrats are ‘them’ and any perceived slight by ‘them’ must be countered in the strongest possible terms, so there would still have been plenty of outrage at Biden too.

      Exactly.

      It’s all meant to make people outraged and distracted, and we all keep falling for it.

      Please let’s not entertain completely absurd shit like that.

      Imagine every time your boomer aunt posted that same shit Trump does on her Facebook it ended up in the news-- it’s clearly delusional and giving it attention gives it validity even if it is only criticisms.

        Yep and they’ve already moved onto Trump as sithlord for May 4th. This just isn’t news. They’re little Internet creeps and they intend to stay that way. People need to stop caring about what “memes” the “official Whitehouse account” posts.

        Edit: Ask yourselves, is it really news that this guy typed a sentence into an AI image generator?
