fresh off his launching of a war against the Pope. Donald Trump decided to do what he and a lot of right wingers have gotten very comfortable doing recently. Just put up AI slop in place of substance, rhetoric, platform, all of that. So he put up this, where he is clearly Jesus, [00:00:18] I suppose. Doctors and soldiers look on as he through the laying on of hands and I don't know, uh light bending or something. heals a person as I'm going to say soldier eagles fly through the sky. This is AI slaps. Of course, those are eagles that are also jets, I guess. [00:00:38] It doesn't know what it's doing because it's not an artist. And he doesn't know what he's doing because he has dementia. So he put that up and we don't like it, right? Us, me and you, can we just talk me and you? I think it's stupid. I think it's a waste of resources. I think it's absolutely insane that Donald Trump. who has resulted in the deaths of hundreds [00:00:55] of thousands of people could think of himself as being a savior figure. But really, he thinks these people are fools. He doesn't believe any of this religious stuff. And the issue is, some of them actually found this to be a line they didn't like him crossing, which is pretty amazing. Do know how bad it is for Trump these days? Riley Gaines is criticizing a decision [00:01:16] he made. She posted, why? Seriously, I cannot understand why he posts this. Is he looking for a response? Does he actually think this? Either way, two things are true. A little humility would serve him well, and God shall not be mocked. So first of all, Riley, you can't understand why he posts this, because you are so blind to the fact that he doesn't [00:01:35] give a crap about your religious beliefs. Remember the two Corinthians? Remember the, which do you like better, New or Old Testament? And both, don't care, whatever. He's not a Christian, you jackass. He doesn't care about any of you. And no, humility, you think he's gonna develop [00:01:52] humility now at 135 years old? If he didn't do it his entire life, it ain't happening. Michael Knowles says, assume somebody has already told him, but it behooves the president both spiritually and politically to delete the picture, no matter the intent. And others also complained [00:02:07] even Brylon Hollyhand had an issue with it. So the news has gotten to the Shire. But anyway, the amazing updates though, are that he did delete it. He never deleted the destroying the civilization thing, right? But he deleted the stupid meme, weird how this stuff works. [00:02:23] Then he was asked about it, and here is his pathetic defense. Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Well, it wasn't depicted, it was me. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And it had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross [00:02:41] worker there, which we support. And only the fake news could come up with that one. I just heard about it. And I said, how did they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better. I make people a lot better. [00:02:59] Yeah, I don't know what that dementia stuff at the end was. Can we go back to the image just for one second of him as a doctor? You know how doctors dress in long white robes and I don't know a red shawl or something. And you know how medicine works, right? You get [00:03:18] a big ball of glowing energy in one hand and then you smear the energy and light on the forehead of the sick person. I'm watching The Pit recently and you can't go one scene without them channeling the power of light. No, you're lying. You're just lying. You liked it cuz [00:03:35] you were Jesus. by the way, I remember Easter when he had the insane strike and strike and strike woman say you're Jesus and he's like, yep, I'm Jesus. And so Christians, he's lying to your face about what he just did and you know he's lying. So what are you going to do [00:03:52] about it? JR, what do you think? By the way, em he deleted it because he's big on scamming Christians. That's people who think they're Christians. That's his biggest flex. That's his biggest help. all of this propaganda that he pushes. So that's the only reason why he [00:04:10] said, man, the people that I've been fooling, the gullible ones, they're figuring it out. Okay, I'll go ahead and delete this one, because he brought up fake news, made it up, the fake news made up. All the things that Christians were saying about you and how much they hate it is that you did this. Well, I think the very clear next question is, so you're not caught [00:04:29] talking to the fake news? Why are you afraid of the fake news? I thought you were a strong dictatorial fascist leader. How come you're bowing down to MS Now and CNN fake news? Are you hanging out with Rachel Maddow now? Which one is it, bro? Either the fake news is fake and you're way above it and you're stronger and you're defeating them, or the fake news [00:04:46] made this whole thing up and you're too scared, so you took it down. What a little baby you are. I mean, people don't ask these questions with his bat, he's not even good at lying. All you have to do is think about what he's saying, take it in, let your brain process it and go. That doesn't make any sense. Let me ask a very easy follow up question that [00:05:03] obviously shows how much this doesn't make any sense. I'm so tired of this. That's why he does it. That's why he does it. let him letting him get away with doing it. Yeah, look, if you're just a doctor, again, you're totally right. Why are you taking it down? Why are you taking it down if you're just a doctor? Because you know you're not a doctor. And by [00:05:18] the way, I was somewhat aggressive towards Riley Gaines in my defense because she's terrible and always has been. But in this particular case, I am glad that she is waking up. Not to Trump being awful or whatever, but she's waking up to the fact that the rats are fleeing [00:05:34] the ship and she doesn't wanna be the last rat. I think she saw Tucker Carlson's leaving, Alex Jones leaving. She's like, my God, should I get off this ship or whatever? And we were talking about this in a production meeting. And we think it'd be really funny if the day she finally decides to turn on him to keep her rep or whatever, if Caitlyn Jenner also left [00:05:53] on that same day and the media just covered her instead of Riley Gaines. I think that'd be really funny. Please let that happen. I wanted to tie with Caitlyn Jenner.
