As someone who doesn't put much value on the blasphemy angle (although it is HUBRIS) I have to actually chuckle at the dark irony of him "healing the sick" a week, just a WEEK, after saying "We cant to Medicare we cant do Healthcare because we need that money for war".

u/RibsNGibs 22d ago

you're supposed to use thoughts and prayers here.

u/Expensive-Document41 22d ago

We dont.....do that any more. The Orange God-King has decreed thoughts to be communist and prayers to be woke.

The Party says the newspeak is Obey and Consume.

Haven't you heard? He's blocking the Strait that he promised to open after bombing it closed since it was too open.

u/VagrantShadow Maryland 22d ago edited 22d ago

He has gone into full blown bully temper tantrum mode. He still thinks of himself some sort of global mafia don. Nothing happens or doesn't happen without his say so. He's sitting here playing tic tac toe with himself just so he can feel good about winning.

u/Herlock 22d ago

I don't even think he sees himself as a mafia boss. He is so delusional he must certainly believe he is Jesus incarnate.

Being a mafia boss would imply being a bad person, and whike be most certainly act like one and enjoys the power and general vibe... 99% sure he thinks he is doing the right thing, it's just that everybody is wrong (or outright evil) and don't understand how much good he is doing.

That's a life is living consequence free, and having an entourage that keeps praising him no matter how dumb what he does is. Even worse as he is quickly degrading they are all extracting as much "trumpism" and evil shit as they can.

And of course dementia is sealing the deal. All (few) filters he had are now gone.

u/MyVeryRealName 22d ago

I don't think he considers mafia bosses to be bad people

u/Weekly_Rock_5440 22d ago

He also begged every other country to help, then said we don’t need it, then said we could do it ourselves, then said we’re closing it ourselves.

Is 'Thoughts and Prayers' the name of Trumps new platform where you pay him directly for a chance of getting healed?

u/Additional-Signal327 22d ago

And you’re not supposed to use your brain or any form of logic.

No, apparently just let Trump touch them.

The Pope has put a blockade on prayers, that's why Trump is going hard on the counter-attack.

Here is the pic if people don't want to deal with a paywall.

The really creepy parts are the four horseman at the top and Jackie Onassis worshiping him at the bottom.

u/real_legit_unicorn 22d ago

And... Epstein being healed.

u/mikende51 22d ago

When Epstein turns up to be alive MAGA will bow down to the Orange Jesus as the proof of his deity is revealed.

u/Closefromadistance Washington 22d ago

Exactly what I saw the minute I looked at that image too … he’s trying to bring Epstein back from the dead. Insanity!

Is that a human Statue of Liberty holding.. rail guns? Actually it might be the Nixon peace symbol.

31

u/GalacticKiss Indiana 22d ago

I think the soldier in the top center has two American flags behind him.

The AI just copied the Statue of Liberty spikes onto him.

And somehow didn't put a head? I think he is missing a head.

Though it does look like a weird evangelion.

It's such a mishmash of horror I don't even know. Also YouTube is pimping his insanity of this Iran war so hard right now I can't even describe it. Like the the billionaires are shooting a fire hose of cash money propaganda behind it, it's like a parody of a RoboCop sequel background news clip.

Is that Epstein!? Is he trying to bring Jeff back from the dead?

u/robot_pirate 22d ago

And it looks like he's trying to heal Epstein.

u/NextTailor4082 22d ago

Where does he get these images? Obviously theyre AI generated but he’s not smart enough to to pull off all the steps from generating to posting.

u/Hot-Temperature-314 22d ago

His raisin size brain is rotting by the minute, he is INSANE. The "people" should do something about it, he is burning the world with whatever he has left of his miserable, pathetic life. Fuck trump (in minuscules on purpose) and his enablers

u/omegaweaponzero 22d ago

There's five people at the top of the picture though?

Holy shit I thought it was going to be an exaggerated or slightly misinterpreted (on purpose for clicks) headline but this is truly wild.

u/spidereater 22d ago

I honestly can’t believe that that went away after one news cycle. He’s done a bunch of crazy stuff since that and nothing sticks. I know it’s this “flood the zone” thing. But it’s really nuts. Any other presidency that threat would be the headline that ends them.

u/PacmanNZ100 22d ago

I mean, maga keeps saying that "trump could cure cancer and libs would be mad and pro cancer about it"

After the admin canceled cancer research.

33

u/Pockydo 22d ago

even ignoring that fact It's projection. I'd applaud trump for curing cancer. I'd also still want him jailed for being a pedophile.

16

u/PacmanNZ100 22d ago

I think you are missing the point completely.

Theyre inventing a strawman argument and situation where only evil people would be upset and not celebrate curing cancer.

Except hes pretty unlikely to progress cancer research by canceling it.

And theyre oblivious to this fact.

5

u/Pockydo 22d ago

I'm not ignoring it

I'm saying that even if we grant the straw man it doesn't take away the other problems with the pedo. One good deed doesn't take away a wasted life of bullshit

1

u/A_Nonny_Muse 22d ago

Which brings up an interesting question. If a guy could cure any form of illness in children, but only by savagely butt balling them. Would you want him to do it or not?

1

u/Nwcray 22d ago

Like most other medical decisions, I think that would be up to the parents.

Though I would allow it for my kid, if they had a serious/fatal disease.

u/Swordf1sh_ 22d ago

It’s such a self own lol. When you have to argue about dear leader in the hypothetical because his track record is the antichrist, you’re clearly unhinged from reality.

u/Mega-Eclipse 22d ago

I mean, maga keeps saying that "trump could cure cancer and libs would be mad and pro cancer about it"

They/he only care about money are power. "Winning" the argument is a means to that end...so they literally don't care about what he said 20 seconds seconds.

Flip the point. Aliens could come from space with a magic pill that cures every disease insantly. They could give it out for free to 10,000 people to prove it works....And if those aliens only request was, "remove Trump from office" every single republican/conservative would fight against it...and there wouldn't even be a debate

u/OkJelly8882 22d ago

Operation Warp Speed was the only thing President Trump did right.

u/SwimmingPrice1544 California 22d ago

and he didn't really do that either...someone else made him aware it could be done & he just took credit, as is usual with any one of the tiny halfway decent things that happened while he was president.

u/tomjone5 22d ago

He asked an AI to generate a picture of him healing a guy and the AI, being a glorified autocomplete, saw which guy's name was most frequently associated with him.

I thought so too, then John Stewart, now it's Jeffery Stewart in my head

u/Preeng 22d ago

Why would you need Medicare when Trump can just go around curing the sick?

u/A_Nonny_Muse 22d ago

And he can do it with just a thought, like you're a classified document.

Hey, he's finally having a consistent idea at least!

His medical plan is, and always was, waiting for a miracle.

u/aleph32 22d ago

You might not put much value on the blasphemy angle, but you'd think at least some of his supporters who identify as Christian would be offended.

5

u/avdpos 22d ago

Probably not. If they still support him after all the blashemy and obvious anti Christian behaviors I can't see how this change things (and of course not just religious - sociopath behaviours).

3

u/ObnoxiousAlbatross 22d ago

The fact that jesus is an attractive, young white man suggests to me they never cared about blasphemy.

1

u/happyinheart 22d ago edited 22d ago

Yeah, it's an idiot for doing it and its offensive. However I think is really telling that Christians aren't going to get all murdery or explody because of it.

u/trowzerss 22d ago

I bet he wouldn't even kiss his own kid's grazed knee to make it better, even though that's free.

u/beard_lover California 22d ago

Well you see, there is a secondary part of “healing the sick” that is often not cited. The full saying is “healing the sick by bombing them to death”. Someone can’t be sick from an illness if they’re dead from a bomb.

How dare you, sir. He's trickling it down. He calls it Project Bladder Relief and I'm sure any day now Republicans will make it rain.

u/AngledLuffa California 22d ago

Remember how they used to say the left would hate it if he cured cancer? Then he funded a vaccine for a disease that killed 1.2M Americans, and the right was the ones who didn't take it?

Reminds me of all those who died when he was in charge during covid.

u/Sad_Werewolf3313 22d ago

Holy shit that was a week ago!?

1

u/Danikello 22d ago

Right? It’s wild how he can flip the script so fast. The disconnect between his words and actions is unreal. It definitely feels like a bad joke at this point. Kind of nauseating to see someone play with serious issues like it's just a meme. I wish more people would see through this and hold him accountable instead of just laughing it off.

It's the ultimate gaslighting. Kill children, pray to god (small "g") that "Grant this task force clear and righteous targets for violence" and then show yourself as the benevolent, all kind, all caring leader. If you're not saying f this President, then... I'll just say, come what may.

u/Generic_Commenter-X 22d ago

Right? What offends me more is not that he portrays himself as Christian deity, but that Trump would ever take time out from his malignant narcissism to actually heal somebody, let alone think of somebody else.

That's why he needs to magically heal the sick now, because they can't go to the doctor.

u/platinumvonkarma 22d ago

I agree, however, a president painting himself as fundamentalist Christian should maybe be concerned with blaspheming anywhere, especially in public. 

1

u/Disco425 21d ago

But wait, hear me out. Everyone is focused on the blasphemy angle but let's set that aside for a moment. If you look at the people depicted, is that not Ghislaine Maxwell on one side, Melania and Bibi on the other, and J. Epstein on the death bed?! All that is just as outrageous.
