Isn't that technically sacrilege or some other doctrinal offense? That might not mean much to us but it should mean quite a lot to the religious faithful.

    Should, but won't.

    If all of the infidelity, rape, pedophilia, warmongering and brazen corruption and graft didn't faze them I doubt a little light blasphemy will.

    A lot of these people already believe Trump was sent by God like an avenging angel to wage spiritual warfare against the Satanic left anyway. It's like they made up a fourth spot in the Trinity just for him.

    So I don't see what the problem is. This is perfectly on brand for what American Christianity is turning into.

      They were ok with him bragging about grabbing women by the pussy but a picture of him as jesus is too far

"As a man of deep faith, I believe the Bible is very clear: thou shalt not criticize the President during a bull market."

Trump's a darn good prompt engineer to get this good of a likeness.
