Trump posted an image depicting himself as the pope, with the Vatican's conclave to select the next leader of the Catholic Church to begin May 7.

    I think he wants to put the idea out there that he could “step in” as pope if needed.

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

      Dude REALLY wants to be the anti-Christ, and the “Christians” that put him in office want that too. They think they’ll be rewarded for putting their fellow humans(& the planet) through hell, and bringing on the end-of-days sooner, rather than later.

        The Bible says there will be many antichrists. Anyone who contradicts Jesus’ teachings, or misrepresents or misunderstands are antichrists. That would include misogynistic apostles. (1 John 2:18)

          Hard agree, but I’m not here to argue against entire denominations. I personally despise any organization/religion above the Congregation level.

            So, Nathaniel Hawthorne has been on my mind, recently (oooh, illuminati, Freemason! They used to have some measure of honor, you can search up the Freemason symbology of pauper Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Manly Hall and Lon Duquette do excellent justice to the topic), he wrote Young Goodman Brown for reasons (although being guilty himself of not understanding indigenous American culture, but ignorance of the time, we all are guilty).

      The Bible is more of less a study in human error and human potential. Of course they have caught on to the concept of narcissistic idiots in power being a bad thing. I’m sure there were plenty of those back in the day and plenty who were far worse than trump.

      Hell, we have leaders right now in the world who are worse than trump and they have all been in power for decades. The biggest difference is that most of them are smarter and more cunning than trump, who is an 80 year old toddler that wants attention all the time.

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

      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.

        This is so frustrating, right? The king of the baboons is insane and addicted to attention, so he throws shit around and spits at everyone who comes to close. And all the other baboons circle around him, watching every move he makes so they can jump and scream as soon as he does.
        Stop reporting, stop reacting, it doesn’t accomplish anything, it’s a waste of time.

        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?
